Hey,
Well it was an
interesting week filled with drops and more drops! We got dropped a lot this week. It was frustrating but the Lord is opening our
time so we can really find the prepared person and help them come closer to
Jesus Christ. haha! Elder Bennett and I
are going to be trying a different approach on the work. PART MEMBERS!!!! I didn't realize how many were actually in our
ward, around 75. So we are going to be
visiting them with the Auxiliaries. I’m
excited to see if it works.
So in district meeting we had an edpep or role play on
answering questions. One of the
questions that I was asked to answer was "why do bad things happen to good
people." I have always known that
it happens so we can learn and grow ... but I took a different approach this
time. I read Mosiah 3:7. And it clicked ... the reason why bad things
happen to us is so we can have a chance to come closer to the Savior, because
He went through the hardest situations that anyone could face ... "Even
Unto Death". It was nice to be able
to find out something that will benefit myself and most importantly the people I
will talk to. I like learning through
the spirit!
I get to go on an exchange with Elder Ensign, he is elder
Wenz' companion. I’m going to be staying
here in Santa Maria. I wanted to go Pismo
Beach where they serve but oh well. I’m excited! It is this Wednesday. Elder Ensign hasn’t been out that long, I
think this is his third transfer now. But
I like being around younger missionaries, they always have energy like crazy!
Tomorrow morning we get to go to the temple! I’m so excited! Bro Terrazzas, our ward mission leader, is
taking us down. It’s a longish drive
though, 3 hours one way. But the view is
great! We follow the 101 all the way
down so for about half of the drive it is ocean on one side! I will take a picture for you all :)
I’m glad to hear that everyone is doing well and that the babies
are still healthy!!!
I love you all and miss you tons!!
SEND ME MORE LETTERS DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Elder Garrett
