Bible bashed!

Good morning everybody. How is everybody doing. Lmk by sending me an email (tyler.larson@missionary.org) I love reading them. Just another week here in good ole rose hill Kansas.


We started off the week doing exchanges which was fun going to a new area. I went to the college hill area and we stayed in the college hill elders apartment. Let me just say their apartment is 10x nicer than ours. They made ours look super ghetto. It's alright tho. Their area is also way better because it's in the city so they have way more houses and people to talk to. But ya we met this lady named Angie on exchanges and she was super elect and was super interested which was great. That was fun.

The rest of the week was just regular old missionary work. I had my first Bible bash session which was fun. Which is probably the first of many since I'm right in the Bible belt. There's these trailer homes that are in the middle of nowhere which we have knocked quite a bit. So we went on Wednesday and the first house we knocked, a shirtless guy that smelt like cigarettes walked out. We had a good conversation for a little bit just talking about our beliefs. He told us that him and his wife were former heroin addicts and homeless. It was a good conversation, then I asked if he would read the book of Mormon. When I said that he flipped out. Started trashing on us. We tried telling him that the BOM goes hand in hand with the Bible and he said that was blasphemy. We also tried to tell him that Jesus Christ and God were two separate beings and he started getting super mad. He then started calling us demons and said what we were doing was demonic. My comp is pretty good at Bible bashing and he likes to do it so he was just going back and forth. The guy would always cut us off before we could finish what we were saying. I don't like arguing with people cuz it's useless so I was just sitting there haha. After about 30 minutes we just left and went home.  Good times.

Picked up the apartment guitar this week and my comp is helping me learn. Man it's hard and it is rough on the fingers. Also its starting get cold here on some days so i got to wear some sweaters this week. Sweaters are the best and so comfy so that's been nice. 

We also did a lot of service on Saturday which was super fun, and they paid us by feeding us lunch and dinner which was clutch. We did some yard work during the day. Then, at night we put up Halloween lights for a member family from Romania which was super cool. Then, on Sunday i finally got to meet the ward and they are all super cool. The ward is much bigger than I expected it to be. We also had a member feed us on Sunday night which was super nice. We have a full week of member dinners this week which is apparently super rare here.

There's not much going on here in Kansas so sorry if this email is a little boring. Also if you're ever in Kansas, go to Braums. It is so good and not that pricy. Hope yall have a fantastic week. Love yall and I'll talk to yall next week!

Dawg. Dawg is a cat that lives in our apartment complex and we don't know who owns him but his food is right outside our door.

Malo e lelei everybody! I hope that you have all had a wonderful week. I hope that each of you wished your mothers a happy mothers day. If you haven't, make sure to go do that now. I would also like to apologize for being terrible at writing emails every week, especially to my mother. It's been a busy few weeks, but they have been awesome. We got to go to the temple again last week. So that meant packing up and driving a van 7 hours up to Hamilton with a bunch of other missionaries. It was super fun, I love a good road trip. I'm so blessed to have gone on a couple temple trips while I've been serving here. It is not to easy to get up there, and it definitely isn't cheap. Each time I go I am reminded of God's Plan of Salvation. One of the things that really stood out to me this time is that when we sacrifice things in our life, it is a similitude to the Savior's sacrifice. Obviously, we can never compare our sacrifices to His ultimate sacrifice, but sacrifice...

Miracles!!

Malo e lelei everybody!! This week was a pretty solid week. We kept super busy and had some success in our area. This week was transfers so we spent Monday to Thursday having meetings and planning for this next transfer. It is always a pretty stressful time, but we've made it and I won't have to do that again so I'm happy. We had a great MLC meeting on Wednesday. The spirit was super strong the whole time. It was definitely my favorite one that I have had. We had a lot of success with one of our friends that we found last week. Her name is Lili, I think I mentioned her last week. Anyways, this week we caught up with her and had a lesson. We set a date for baptism with her on the 27th of this month. She also came to church the next day and loved every minute of it. We have multiple members that are fellowshipping her. They have invited her to institute and other activities. It has been awesome to see. She is progressing so fast that I can't even keep up. Never in my miss...

Kia ora whanau!! I hope you have all had a great week. This week was pretty solid. We had some miracles which was awesome. We were able to focus on our area a lot this week. We found some new people to teach and had some great lessons. I would like to share a miracle that happened this week. Last Wednesday in daily planning I felt inspired to continue knocking a street that we had knocked the week before. So, we planned for that. But, our schedule ended up getting pushed back because we got busy, and we had to decide whether we wanted to knock that street or do the things that got pushed back. I felt again that we should go and knock that street. So, we did. The very first door we knocked on was a girl named Lili. God had definitely been preparing her for us. She told us that she had just recently started to look for another church to attend. She also said that she was looking for people that could teach her about their church. We said "well here we are". We gave her a Book o...
