This week was sooooooo amazing:
1. So this week
started off with Elder Armstrong`s 2 week training. It was super kool to
see all of the new missionaries and how they took on their first two
weeks. At the beginning there were a ton of new missionaries who you
could tell that they were all like "what am I doing here?" and so after 2
weeks they all looked so much better and they actually were enjoying
being here in the mission. They are going to be awesome.
2.
So Elder Armstrong has a friend back at home who got baptized this last Saturday. And president gave Elder Armstrong permission to be able to Skype in and watch the service! So we showed up to the office and we
were able to watch it. I forgot how good American baptism services are. There were a ton of people there. To be honest it kinda got me excited
to go back to the states and help out more in the missionary work.
Well definitely the highlight this week was that Elder Renlund showed up
this week and he met with our entire mission to talk to us! And Guess
what?!?!?!? I got to play the piano in the meeting!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! (little girl scream). It was sooooo awesome to
be up there. So pretty much all of that practicing before the mission did
pay off. But Elder Renlund came to deliver 4 messages (the first three
being from President Nelson) 1. Thank you from Jesus Christ himself
(this one got me the most) 2. Our call to the Peru Lima East Mission is
our call and it is where we are supposed to be and if we don´t know that
we have the right and obligation to receive that revelation. 3.
President and Hermana Amato were called of God to serve in this mission
and to be our mission President and Wife. 4. Attitude with effort
results in miracles.
But ah man Elder Renlund was absolutely
amazing. We took another mission picture just as a mission and with
Elder Renlund. As we were waiting for Elder Renlund to show up you could
feel that he had entered the courtyard even before we had seen him. I
testify that he is called of God. He is a special witness of Jesus Christ here on the earth.
Miss you all tons,
Elder Garbett
