I had such a blast talking to yall
yesterday!! Its amazing we can all be together at one time, and all be
so far away. I love technology. :) Cant believe how big the boys are
(can I still call them that??) That 40 minutes was definitely a
highlight of the week!!! And there were lots more highlights too!
Bianca is a memeber here who yall might have seen on
facebook... haha... and she is waiting for her mission call! Well the
other day she came with us to visit, and wow, it was so great. The first
three appointments fell through. We were saying, we know its for a
reason! We then went to visit her aunt, Antonia, an hour earlier than
her appointment, but we thought we should do it anyway. Well we did and
she was just about to leave to go to the gym because her friend invited
her! I am so thankful we were able to get there when we did so that we
could teach her before she went to the gym! I know the Lord´s hand is in
everything, even when las citas fall through.
The other great highlight was when Eddi(alexiss
younger brother) and Vuenefel(son of a less active family who isnt
baptized) came to church, that I already told yall! They are 10 and 11,
and both came all alone! But they became best friends fast. I dont know
if I ever would have walked far to go to church all alone. But they did!
and Its incredible to see their faith. I know they are going to be the
examples their parents needs, and As we keep praying for them and their
families in faith, we will see miracles.
The other day in my personal study I was focusing on
the atonement. At the end of this month, Elder C Scott Grow is coming
to our mission!!!! (of the seventy). There is a talk he wrote called the
miracle of the atonement. It is so great. He talks about how he has
seen the atonement work in the life of his brother. Its incredible to
see here the atonement working in the lives of so many people who choose
to let it, and especially in mine! In each of the 5 lessons from preach
my gospel, they about Jesus Christ and his atonement! This theme isnt
interwoven through each lesson on accident. Christ really is central in
his message, and as his representative I love testifying of him in every
lesson we are in. I am so thankful for Jesus CHrist, for his great and
eternal sacrifice, and that because of him we can all return to live
with him and our Heavenly Father, and our families. What great blessings
are awaiting us!!
The other week when I was with hna Peterson, I
forgot to tell yall something that I really loved! Before we said night
prayer, we each said what were were grateful for, and something we need
or woud like to ask. Then we said the prayer, and it really made the
prayer so much more meaningful, focused, and full of the spirit. I want
to keep doing that through my life!
Well, Love yall lots! Keep being so great and
building up others. Stand a little taller! (but not jared or
dallin...haha) Come what may and love it!
love yall!
love yall!
Rohaihu!
love,
hna Garlick
