Hi
This week was a long one!!!!!!!!
Once again we did so much service
which kept us really busy!!! On Tuesday
morning we went and helped some really old lady move, Wednesday we went and
helped clean up this guys back yard, Thursday night we went with the priests
quorum and helped clear up this widow’s property, it was fun!
I really like the priests in the
ward, most of them are getting ready to go on their mission so they like to
spend time with us and ask us a lot of questions about the mission and what it
is all about!
So we went by this potential
investigators house, his name is Adam. We knocked for a little bit and finally
this lady opened the door, it was his mom! At first I was kinda worried she was going to
get really mad at us for knocking on her door so much, but she was really
nice!! We talked to her about what we
had already shared with her son and that this is a message for families. So she
asked us to come back. Oh and the reason
we couldn't talk to Adam is I guess he got jumped and is really messed up. He was walking down the road with his ex and
some dude came up and punched her, and then he punched Adam ... it was really
sad to hear about.
We went on an exchange on Saturday. We went with our zone leader Elder Belchoir,
he is from Mozambique!! He is a really
good missionary! I learned a lot from
him about the resurrection and the priesthood. Oh and he is going to be going to BYU so I
told him to stop by and say hello, so don’t be freaked out when there is a guy
from Mozambique on the door step soon! He
will be there for summer semester.
I got the two packages full of
cookies ... thank you! I shared them
with some other missionaries and every one really liked them!!!
I taught gospel principles again
this week, it was on baptism. It was
nice because the nonmember that was there last week was there again. He had been asking me about baptism and the
need and importance of doing it in this church last week. So I was able to help him clear up some
misconceptions on why we do baptisms and why it is needed. After class he came up to me and said
"soon". I was so happy!!! I love this man and would love to see him make
covenants with God! I pray all the time
that he will have his heart touched by the spirit, I think my prayers may have
been answered yesterday :)
Well family, I love you and I’m glad
that I’m part of your family!!! You are
a good one :)

Keep up the good work, Elder Garrett. Our grandson was made an Elder last Sunday. He will be going on his mission late August to the Oregon Portland Mission.
