Transfer week and guess who's training AND district leader!
Transfer week and guess who's training AND district leader!
Family and Friends,
Well... that's right. Just Today President Pingree called and asked if I
were willing to become the District Leader AND Train Elder Erickson
along with Elder Mitchell. Yes, we are Trio Training.
So... things
are going to be very busy around here. And Today was crazy because we
were swamping cars. So we didn't have time to email.
And now Elder McGill needs to pack because he's going South now. And I still need a haircut...
So sorry for the late and short email. I will try to sneak in a letter to my family soon.
With more responsibility comes less time to do emails and other things.
The Lord is giving us so much trust and I don't want to disappoint Him.
Watching General Conference was the best thing I have ever done. You
should all watch it on lds.org. It's recorded so you can watch it again
and again. The messages on there are inspired from God. They are the
things we need to know TODAY right Now, from a LIVING Prophet, just like
Moses, Noah, Abraham, Joseph Smith, and Jesus Christ Himself. God loves
us and wants us to be happy. So we need to pay our tithing, DON'T GIVE
UP IF WE ARE DEPRESSED, repent, follow the Savior, don't prioritize
other things over going to church on Sunday, and so on.
These messages will help you, I promise. They are helping our members in our Branch. They are helping me. They will help you.
This Saturday we hope to have a baptism... the mother of the son is
struggling to approve, so I ask for your prayers for Sherman that his
mom might open her heart. We met with her last week and I was led by the
spirit and Testified of the truth of the Gospel. The spirit was amazing
in that house. The spirit led me to say what I needed to say. The mom
is slowly changing, but we hope she can change soon so we can baptize
her son. He needs it.
I ask for you to also pray that we might
change the heart of Eric, an investigator who wants to be baptized... so
he can receive food from the Bishop Storehouse. We will need to work
with him about that.
Also pray for a young women we are teaching
sign language to. Her name is Taylor. Shes 25 and is trying to learn
sign language. She got called as an interpreter, but is really nervous.
We are working to help increase her confidence in interpreting, so I ask
for prayers to give her that confidence that when I say 'time to
practice interpreting' and start talking to her, with the intent of her
to sign to us in return, that she won't look nervous but do so
confidently.
I think that's about it for now. Have a great week! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Gardner.
