Hola Familia!
This week was a great week! Hermana Bolaños is here and is
awesome! It's funny cause if anyone in the mission looks like hna Moscoso, it's
her. She has been out for 7 months and is 25 years old. She is super smart and
knows the scriptures like the back of her hand. This is a huge blessing for me
and something I had been praying for-a greater knowledge of the scriptures, and
with her this will definitely happen! I have a lot to learn from her and am grateful
for the opportunity to serve with her. She is happy and smiley and great to be
around. I definitely did not get the step-mother curse like my sisters did here
in the mission. She does teach differently and it'll take some time before I'm
totally used to it, but all is good!
Right now I am in Cochabamba again for visa work. I left Sucre
last night, and after an 8 hour bus ride arrived in Cocha at 4:30 this morning.
I got my blood drawn, my teeth checked, a mini physical and all the works by
10:00. We (Hna Adams and two other elders) enjoyed a nice breakfast of
salteñas. Super yummy. We don't have any more stuff we have to do until Wed, so
today Hna Adams and I will be with Hna Hill y Hna Cordava (which is also my
sister in the mission, like her first comp... which means by default that we
are going to be comps one day too;)) and tomorrow we hope to go to the temple!
I believe I am flying back to Sucre Thursday morning which will be good. I
didn't want to leave my area because we have a lot of work to do and Hna
Bolaños still does not know the area very well, but oh well, I am excited to be
here in Cocha.
Yesterday I had an amazing experience. One of our
investigators, Trifon, told us how two of his grandkids died in an accident. We
proceeded to teach him about work for the dead and how his family can be
together forever. I felt so strongly that these two kids were in the room with
us, wanting so badly that their grandfather will accept the gospel and do their
work in the temple. This gospel is so amazing and I feel so blessed to be a
part of it! The Gospel of Jesus Christ brings families together and so much
joy! I am so grateful that I have had the blessings of the gospel all of my
life.
I am so proud of Peter and his football game! What a stud.
Kate's Haunted Jr High sounded way fun! I wish I could see her cheer! I hope
Emma's dance is going well and is liking 2nd grade! I am so excited for molbot
and her decision to go on a mission! She will never regret it! Mom, Dad, thanks
for all you do for me! I love you all so much and am so grateful for all you
have taught me!
Love,
Hna Gardiner
