HEY FAMILY!!!
Wow that week went really fast!
SO my new companion’s name is Elder
Bennett, he is from South Weber, Utah. He is very nice! He works hard and knows a lot
so that is really good!!!!
Things are going pretty great! We
were able to find 5 new investigators this week and we were able to teach a lot
of lessons. I really hope that the
people we taught take to heart the things we said and really do the things we
asked them to do!!! That’s always the
hard part. But I have faith that they
will! The most promising one is named Mack, he used to go to church a lot when
he was younger but now he never goes. But he said that he feels like he needs
something more in his life right now and he is looking for it! SOOO we left him with a Book of Mormon and
told him to read and pray about it! He
is going to be out of town this week but he said he would take the book with
him and read it on his trip!
Training is a little different but it’s
almost the same as regular missionary work, the only difference is that we
study for an hour longer each day so the new missionary can learn and get used
to the things we teach. It’s nice! I’m learning so much. I agree with the statement that the teacher
always learns the most!! I have been
able to see a whole different side of missionary work because of the training
program.
Yesterday at church, Sacrament
meeting was on the Eight Article of Faith, I believe. And I realized something
.... I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON. I’m
about to finish it for the fifth time on the mission and I love it more and
more every time I read it. There are so many great promises found in it, we
just have to be willing to find them and to earn them! I have grown a testimony of Christ through the
Book of Mormon. I know it’s true!
Last night we were at a member’s house
and they started talking about a trip to Salt Lake! So me being me, asked them if I could have
them take a package and give it to you all!! So in about a week and a half a
member will be calling one of you to give you a box and then you will have to distribute
it to the rest of the family ... because there are and have been a lot of
birthdays as of late. Be ready!!
Oh while we are on the birthday
topic .... MINE IS IN A MONTH!!!!!!!!
CORY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON
SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Family I love you and I miss you all
so much!! Before we know it Christmas will be here and we will be talking to
each other on the telephono!!!
Love,
Elder Garrett
