Hola Family!
It's been another great week here at the CCM with all the
ups and downs of missionary life!
The coolest thing that happened this week was going
proselyting (spelling?)! I didn't talk about it last time because we didn’t end
up going because there was a huge Catholic festival going on, so Saturday was
our first time out on the town! It was such an amazing experience! Hna. Adams
and I had a teacher with us which was a huge blessing! We placed four Book of
Mormons and handed out some pamphlets as well. We mostly knocked doors! It was
so fun! We got into one house and it was the neatest thing ever! The lady who
answered the door is named Mirian Saldoval Villegas. She is a gem. We even got
in her house without help from our teacher. Anyways, Mirian is married with the
cutest 3 kids in the world. They had such a great spirit about them. We taught
her and her 7 year old son (which made me think of cute Emma) about the plan of
salvation and a little about the Book of Mormon. The teacher that was with us
did a lot of the talking in the actual lesson but I had many opportunities to
teach and bare my testimony which was so awesome. I could feel the spirit so
strongly in their little house and I knew she could feel it as well. She was so
receptive to our message. Before we left she even got a picture with us and her
kids. The teacher has a copy of it on her phone so hopefully I can get ahold of
it so I can have the picture as well! Basically I am so stoked to get out in
the field! I love talking with the people. It is so easy to love them.
I got your package with the Yellow Fever Card and your
notes! Thank you so much. That was exactly what I needed! Tell Emma thanks for
the glow in the dark dog! I can't wait to get it when I get home. The other
yellow fever card you sent in the mail came and since it was blank and Hna.
Forsey forgot her yellow fever card the lady in the office had her fill out her
info on it. Haha. So both were put to use! You're the best momma!
I read the talk 'come all ye sons of God' by President
Monson. It is such an amazing talk! I recommend it to anyone interested in
being a missionary whether in the field or at home! He tells us to ask
ourselves at the end of the day 'Today, have I increased in faith, in virtue,
in knowledge, in godliness, in love?' I have been trying to do this and it has
been a good goal for me to have!
Yesterday we played a super sweet soccer game during
physical activity! It was so fun. I'm pretty sure I'm going to try out for the
BYU woman's soccer team when I get back. Haha.
Life is so good! Heavenly Father is always there to lift us
up when we're in need! I have seen that so much here! I love being a missionary
and already know I will never regret my decision to be here. If anyone is
trying to decide whether or not to go on a mission, I say go! It is the most
amazing, fulfilling experience in the world! Nothing is better than testifying
of Jesus Christ!
I love you all so much!
Hna. Gardiner:)
