Well this week was super awesome. Let´s start with everything that happened:
1.
Well This week I had my first English class in the Zone. Really I am in
charge of watching over all of the Latino´s progress in English. What
we did is we memorized a scripture from the Book of Mormon (second half
of Moroni 8:16)
(repeat! Second half!) and then I made a challenge with the entire
Zone: everyone will read the B.O.M and if anyone can read more than me
in this transfer I will buy them something. Now not only do I have a
class to teach, but I need to read to keep my money for myself. 
2.
Our papito made us these pizza things this week. Really what he did was
he took a bunch of rice mixed it with eggs and something else and
cooked it in a pan and placed some meat slices on top. It was a rice
pizza and it was super amazing.
3. We had a
final meeting with President Boswell. Really we learned tons from him in
this final meeting but what he needed to say he said and then in the
end he gave his final testimony to all of us. Not everyone´s eyes were
wet by the end of his testimony but as most of you know I get super
emotional in these types of situations and, well you know how the story
ends with me. But we all got to take photos with him and Hermana
Boswell. I´ll make sure to send it to you all.
4.
One of our Investigators Finally got married! They actually did it
today and that is how we spent our P-day. Truly it was supposed to be a
District P-Day but Who cares! They got married and he is going to get
Baptized this Saturday! Also afterwards we went to a restaurant
(Longhorns!). It´s been such a long time since I have had anything
american in a while and it was super amazing!!!!
Well
this week was Jam packed! We had the Multi-Zone and the marriage and we
found tons of people this week and they all have baptism dates! Truly
the work is going super smooth here in my Ward. Really it is one of the
richest parts in our mission and usually when there is more money than
dirt in an area there isn't much success. But that is not stopping Elder
Garbett and Elder Valle. Truly that does not matter in an area. There are
always people ready to hear the gospel. You just need to open your
mouth and the blessings will flow from them. One of the things that
President Boswell put in his PowerPoint was a picture of a new group and
it looked like they were in prison and the title said estamos en el
carcel (we are in jail). What was funny was that it was my group´s
picture that he chose to put up there. One of the problems, he says, is
that some missionaries feel like they are in prison. Like there are so
many rules that we can´t do anything. But he said that the rules are
there to protect us and that when we work we will feel a joy and know
that this is the work and that is why we are here. And it is super true.
Now I won´t say that I have felt like I am in a prison but I truly have
felt the joy here in the mission. And I receive it when I see my
investigators do the right thing. Pray, Read, and Attend church. Truly
this is the Lord´s work and in this is my Joy.
I miss you all tons but love you more,
Elder Garbett
