HELLO FAMILY
How’s every one doing???
Things out here are going great!
Tuesday we were able to go to the temple!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that place. The
peace found in there is amazing and indescribable. Sorry I forgot my
camera today so I won’t be able to send pictures ... but next week I will. The
LA temple is huge! I really like the Moroni on the top too. The only problem is
the traffic on the 405 ... wow. It is
nice to get that spiritual rejuvenation!
The work is starting to pick up again!
It seems like we will have a good week and then a bad week, and then a good
week, and then a bad week, and then a good week ... you get the idea! So I’m hoping that this coming week is a good
one as well! We got a referral from the
bishop in our ward. It is a lady named Nel, she went to church last week and
said that she loved it and asked bishop when she could get Baptized!!! We haven’t had the chance to meet her because
she has been sick and out of town, but I’m really praying that this is the
person that we have been looking so hard for!
I have been reading the New
Testament a lot lately. I love the stories of Christ! I have really come to
recognize how He has truly set the perfect example in all things ... not just
how to treat people, but how to teach, how to act, and how to search for the
spirit! I have a deep love for the Savior, He is amazing! I love Him!
Yesterday at church this lady in the
ward bore her testimony on personal sacrifice. She explained that the only way
to really receive all the blessings of heaven is to sacrifice enough to become
humble. I have heard this a thousand times over the past year but for some
reason this Sister’s testimony really touched my heart. I felt the love of the
Savior and I know that I’m doing what the Lord wants me to be doing
because I’m sacrificing, and I can feel the love of the Lord and I feel
his blessings.
I’m so excited for conference this
weekend! I know that something special
is about to happen!!! The prophets of the Lord are going to tell us what we can
do better, they are going to tell us how we can feel the Lord more in our life,
we will be told how to truly feel happy! I can’t wait to listen and feel the spirit!
Well family I love you so much! I
hope you know I miss you and I pray for you every day!!!!!!
Love Elder Garrett
