Dad everyone likes your newsletters so you better keep 'em comin'! So here's a good story for you. Our area is the very farthest south in the mission, so it takes forever to get anywhere. When we found out that there was going to be a fireside that was going to be translated into spanish we really wanted to take an investigator. We had seen the fireside in english and it was AMAZING. An Elder in the mission wrote several songs to teach the plan of salvation and he is EXTREMELY talented. So we found a couple of members that were willing to drive up with us. (It takes about an hour to get to Bella Vista) and headed on our way with our investigator. We were in a truck with her and one of the members and the other members were following us in their Jetta. We got to be about 15 minutes away from the chapel and the truck started overheating. We pulled off the road so they could look at it and they started putting water in with the antifreeze to see if that would help and it didn't really. Then, they got it to cool down and decided to head back home and see how it did. We made it about 30 seconds and it started overheating again. We pulled into a parking lot and got out and there was antifreeze everywhere under the truck. I was super worried and felt really bad. I thought for sure that we had ruined Florentino's truck. So we couldn't get a hold of anyone in the area to come help us out. We got a hold of a few people in our branch and the branch president headed up with another member who is a mechanic to help us. We sat FOREVER in that parking lot. When they got there, it turned out that the thermostat was stuck. That's what they told me. I don't know where it gets stuck or why that makes the engine overheat, but they fixed it and we headed back without problems. We didn't get home until 11:00 that night. Yuck! But it made for a good adventure:) So the branch president during all of this called President Albright and he told him that we could set everything up to have the fireside come to us. Alright! That's what we're going to be doing on Halloween! Well, I hope everything goes well for all of you this week. I love you all! Love,Hermana Larsen P.S. Enjoy the pictures. I rode a bike with one of our roommates to go tracting in the english program because her companion had the stomach flu. She had to get out of the house or she was going to go crazy. Her name is Sister Balsley. She's a surfer from California:) We had lots of fun. I don't think I've introduced you to my companion. Hermana Aulava. Her family is from Hawaii, but she was born in Florida. Sister Malmberg is the other roommate. She's from Canada and yes she has the accent when she says beg instead of bag. I like it!
