Another week!

**Note from Alicia - I'm guessing Sis. Larsen must have had limited time yesterday.  She did not send a group email, but did send a brief email to me in response to a few questions I asked her.  I'll paste a portion of that letter below.**

Conference was so awesome!!! Did you have a favorite talk? I'm still trying to decide, but I don't think I've ever appreciated General Conference more in my life.  I instantly thought of you, Mom, when Neill F. Marriott started talking about, "it will all work out." And it will, when we submit our will to Heavenly Father's :)    Note from Alicia:  I often refer to one of my favorite quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley when things are difficult, and for many years had this quote laminated and posted on my shower wall so I could start the day with a good perspective:

You asked about my daily schedule.  A typical day goes like this:

Anywhere between 6:00-6:30 wake up (prayer, exercise, shower, get dressed, breakfast)
8-8:30 study
9:00 PRS
3:00 leave PRS
3-5:00 finding/teaching
5:00 dinner
6:00-9:00 finding/teaching
9-9:30 planning
Praying by 10:30

OR

Anywhere between 6:00-6:30 wake up
8-11:00 study (extra because new missionaries have to do an extra program called "12 week")
11:00-12:00 lunch
12-3:00 finding/teaching
3-9:00 PRS
9-9:30 planning
Praying by 10:30

From Alicia:  Due to various circumstances, Sis. Larsen related that although she and her companion haven't been able to go find and teach people as much as they would like, they are getting practice in "learning to cope with difficulties.... and (those are) small in comparison to all the good things happening".  



And a few pictures:


Some members of her branch (congregation) made them caramel apples

Crazy PRS Sisters (I've decided Sis. Larsen and the missionary
on the far right must have the same sweater) :)
