Hey family
So we had a really good week!!!!
The first blessing it was warm!! I have missed the 50 degree weather!!
The second blessing is that we found
this part member family to teach!!! It’s
a mom and her kids. We are only teaching
two of the kids because the other two are only 4 and 2. But AJ (boy) is 13 and is more mature than me
... and Alyssa (girl) is 11. The mom had
been teaching them about the restoration and the church for a while and finally
they asked her if they could actually go to church, not just hear about it from
her. So they contacted us and asked to
meet with us. The lesson went so well they asked some great questions and did
most of the talking which is really good!! We asked them to get baptized on Feb 16th and
they accepted it!!!! We are going to be
meeting with them twice a week which is really cool!!
Riley is doing great, we had a
lesson with her last night with some members. We taught the restoration to see if she really
understood it. She basically taught us about it! We just showed some pictures and asked her to
explain it and she did it perfectly!! It’s
cool to see that the Lord really does prepare His children and is going to make
sure that they are happy! So her baptism
is the Saturday before the other two, Feb 9th.
Things here are picking up! I finally feel that I know what I’m doing!! It’s nice to feel comfortable with teaching
and talking to people.
Saturday we were going to an
appointment and we were a little early, so we were walking around and saw some
signs for a garage sale. Garage sales
are great places to meet people! So we
went over there and we didn't see any one so we started walking
away. All of the sudden we heard "Hey
Mormons!!" We didn't see
any one so we kept on walking. Then we
heard "oh.... the Mormons are leaving." So we quickly turned around and tried to find
the person. We found him he was in his
house behind a big metal screen door. He yelled at us again "can you give me
one of the second testimonies of Christ" ..... We were in shock!! But of course we gave him one and taught him
more about it. Now we have an
appointment with him on Tuesday! It
was a funny moment.
Well family I love you all and hope
that all is well with you!!!!
Love
Elder Garrett
p.s. Thanks for all the pictures of
the kids!!! They are all so cute!!!
