Hello!!
So Transfer calls today.. I am staying in Yucaipa.... and I get to TRAIN! I am kind of excited and kinda nervous. I kind of had a feeling I would be training this transfer, so it will be good. I will find out who I am training on Wednesday.
This week though has been pretty good. We met with Tammy and last time she had a question on polygamy, We wanted to avoid the topic this time, but she brought it up. At first I was trying to explain it and I could just feel the contention there, it was a weird feeling. We let her do a lot of the talking and then we just bore testimony on the Book of Mormon and that even though we don't understand everything, we know that we have a prophet of God who leads us and that The Gospel has been restored to Earth again. She didn't argue that, which was really cool to see. You hear all of the time that when all else fails, bear testimony. The power of a testimony is amazing, and I don't think that I ever realized how powerful it is.
I can't believe Sis. Ferry is going home, It's hard to know for a whole transfer that you only have one transfer together.. I think that was a definite challenge for us, but I have learned a lot from her.
On the 15th we are having a Mission conference combined with the Rancho Cucamonga Mission and Elder Anderson and Elder Anthony Perkins will be there! It is really exciting and we are so blessed to have had so many General Authorities come out here in just 6 months. Wow, 6 months has gone by SO fast! I have learned so much, and I am so blessed to be in Yucaipa right now. The work may be slow for now, but there is so much waiting to happen and it is going to explode!
Sorry this is short, but I love you all and want to thank you for all the prayers! I feel them daily! Love ya lots,
Sister Kellee Gardner

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
DeleteI saw your post on FamilySearch.org about Weldon & Anne's sealing date and I will get it changed Monday.
The Sister missionaries started reading the BOM with me last year and renewed my faith in Jesus and the Atonement.
They also got me started at the Family History Center, (which is what got me notice your comment on the FS pedigree). I was set apart today to administer the FHC, a stake calling. I will double check the calling tomorrow when I am sustained.
You are right about the way you handled Tammy's questions. Check page 108-9 of "Preaching My Gospel" about using the BOM to respond to objections.
I keep you in my prayers,
Your Uncle,
Jim
