Alright. It´s Elder Garbett time!!!!!!!
1. Well we
have been preparing for a special Zone Conference with our new Mission
President. It includes the interviews, some thoughts from him and his
wife, and a lunch. But besides all of that I am in charge of a special
musical number that the entire Zone is going to sing to them. And, well,
because I am a gringo we are going to sing in English. The meeting is tomorrow so I will send a video of that next week.
2.
Well we went on splits this week and this time my companion stayed in
the area. And when you leave a Latino in the area for a day things don´t
go well. For example this time he decided to plan a lesson that was on
one side of the area at 6 and then plan another one on the other side of
the area at 7 and it is around this time that the traffic is absolutely
horrible. So when I found this out we had just left the lesson that was
at 6. So during this time we were in a taxi frantically worrying that we
would be super late and so when we were about 6 blocks away (and six
blocks here are huge) we decided to run for it and as we left the taxi I
apparently left my Book of Mormon case in there. And it included all of
my important papers and my beloved agenda. so we can just say that I am
super sad about that.
3.
Today was a P-day of companions. And so just like any other good
companionship who knows each other, we slept. But besides the sleeping
(which we comfortably enjoyed) we decided to go out to eat lunch today.
But today was a bit different than normal because we went to McDonald's.
I´ll just say, P-day Well spent!
Well
overall this week was absolutely amazing. I continue to see the works of
God every day in little and in big things. For example the Hermana that
we recently baptized has had a major change in her home. Before her
husband wanted nothing with us. Her children fought all the time and her
17 year old daughter was super rebellious. But all of that began to
change this week. Her husband is beginning to pray. Her children still
fight but now she can deal with it and calmly change the situation and
now her daughter is beginning to humble herself and their relationship is
beginning to become better. Really as we stay firm in the gospel and do
the things that the Lord asks of us he begins to help us have the
desires of our hearts. In this example Hermana Marina is beginning to see
that there is actually a chance that she could have this eternal family
that we always continue to promise her.
I miss you tons and love you lots,
Elder Garbett
