Week 1: Home MTC


 First week of home MTC.  Some highlights from the week with some pictures below

Elder Larson was set apart as a full time missionary on Sunday, February 6th by President Scott Eliason.  It was an exciting yet emotional time of course.  He started online MTC on Monday morning, bright an early at 7:00 AM.  Excitement grew throughout the week with each meeting and experience.  He has 8 in his district, 4 will be serving in Bahia Blanca, Argentina.  By Friday afternoon, he was "exhausted from feeling the Spirit so much!"  That is exactly what P-days are for which came on Saturday.  Soccer game Friday night and Zoo on Saturday was an exciting time.

Some amazing spiritual experiences all week for sure.  Since his mission start was postponed 1 week, he had a free week to travel with dad to San Antonio for work.  Some small unknown miracles as his return home flight was cancelled due to weather.  He ended up finding the much sought after Lego Daily Bugle set.  He had to buy it but then we came across the issue of getting it back home.  Purchased a large suitcase to transport it home and then dad had to sell it on Facebook Marketplace of course.  Well, the 2 that came to buy it were both from Argentina with one of them returning home there and needing an additional suitcase.  Time well spent with them as well as we discussed the culture, food, life in Argentina.
