Well this week just changed my entire mission. Let´s start with these:
1.
Well I showed up to my Area this week and found my first child. The
first thing that I thought about him was that he looked just like Payton. Super tall and super lanky. Pretty much everything that he does
is just like Payton. Sometimes I just sit there and laugh so much
because they are so familiar. I am never going to forget about my first
child.
2. Well the ward isn't doing so well
here. I showed up this last Tuesday and my companion told me that I had
the best opportunity this week. Naturally I asked what is it and then
he told me that I was going to give a talk this sacrament meeting. Well
during the week I was trying to decide what I was going to talk about and during the week the ward mission leader didn't show up to
correlation, and only the relief society president and the bishopric
showed up to ward counsel. So naturally I got up and started to talk
about ´´What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.´´
Wow
like I told my last companion, this transfer is really going to test me
if I can be a true missionary. First off I have to train a newbie. So
that means if we screw up in something the blame naturally falls on me. Plus this also depends on how my new companion´s (Elder Ledezma) mission
is going to turn out. Second is that the Ward here is truly going down
the drain. There really isn't any excitement here in the ward. But I
think that is why President sent me here. I am known as the animator
here and I try to live up to that title. Really even though the ward
here is crap, it just keeps giving me more motivation to keep on going. I
truly want to change this area and make this transfer the transfer that
I will never forget.
I love you all tons,
Elder Garbett
