Hi family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the emailing schedule here is
going to be a little different. I will
be emailing somewhere between 12 and 2 so don’t freak out if you don’t get it
sooner, haha.
So the new area is really nice!!!! I’m really liking it and my companion. He is from Tampa, Florida and has been out 6
months! He knows what he is doing though
so that is really nice, I don’t like having a companion who doesn’t know how to
teach or talk to people. So all in all
things are going great!! We don’t really
have any investigators but soon we will! This up-coming week we made a goal to find a
family. This area has been slow for a
while, it needs something positive to happen!
My companion was asked to go around
and work on the cars for the new mission, so we got to go around with the
assistants all Saturday and see all the elders and sisters. It was really cool! We also got to meet the new assistant that
came in from the other mission and see the new mission office! It was a really fun day!
Oh yeah we share this ward with
another set of elders. It’s cool! We get to focus on a smaller area, which is
really nice! We are in a car so the heat
isn't too bad here. The dinner
appointments are really fun with all four of us! It’s almost like we are on exchanges with the
other elders. I really like it.
The district here is small there are
only six of us. The four in my ward and
then there are two about 45 miles away from us ... in the mountains. So we don’t see them that much. But I’m really excited about it!!!
We got sick!!! That was fun! Haha,
but we are both doing better and we made it through it!!!
I realized a lot about the new
mission, that it is going to be a very, very successful mission. The missionaries that are here (in Bakersfield)
for the most part are really young. They
know how to do the work and have gotten most of the baptisms for the mission. So this mission is going to be a very good
one!! I’m glad that I’m here and get to
see a part of it!!!
Well family I love you and hope that
you are doing well!!!
Elder Garrett

Elder Garrett, we are glad that you are enjoying your new location and companion. We have a daughter, grandson and his wife, and their three boys living in Tampa Bay. The boys are so cute; the oldest is four and the twins are three! They are not members so we are hoping that someone in the Tampa mission will run across them and share the Gospel with them. We keep you in our prayers!!!
