This week has been wonderful. We went to a less actives this week Sister Brown and she watches an older man during the day at her house. He's the nicest guy. He read the Joseph Fielding Smith book, and liked it.. he just doesn't believe in Prophets on the earth today. We talked to him about how we believe that we have a living prophet and that he can know for himself. We committed him to watch conference as well. He said he would watch it. We are excited for that.
On Tuesday there was a funeral here and we helped out a little with that. Sister Pace, from the ward in Yucca was there, it was her son-in-law who had passed away, so her daughter is in our ward here in Yucaipa. It was really good to see her. Made me miss C&S for a minute(a restaurant). On Wednesday we went walking in an area by a less-active that we have been trying to contact and so we stopped by. We got there and someone answered but said he wasn't home, we asked when he would be, she didn't know. she closed the door and we walked off, she opened the door again and then asked us where we were from. We said "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" she told us to hold on, and then another woman came out,( the less actives wife) and she talked to us for a little. we found out she is not a member but that her husband has been telling her to learn more and become one:D. She is from Thiland and she wanted a Thi Book of Mormon she has one in english, but she prefers Thi. She seems really interested in learning more, and I guess when they moved here they stopped going to church. We are pretty excited to go back there..
Friday night there was an Earthquake in LA and we felt a little bit of that. It felt like 5 seconds and that was it. Sis. Baker and I looked at each other and decided that we didn't like that... First earthquake!
My favorite day was probably Saturday. The Woman's broadcast was amazing. We went to the Stake center and they had a program and dinner. The dinner was packed- they had to set up more tables, and the Chapel was packed for the broadcast. The Spirit was amazing. I loved how they really involved everyone. I think my main feeling was the realization that we are all in this together and we have an amazing opportunity to help each other. It really is ALL about making it back to our Heavenly Father. We have made covenants to do so. That is something that has been a focus out here on my mission is keeping covenants that we have made. There are so many blessings in store!
I can't wait for Conference. It is going to be amazing!
I hope everything is going well for all of you, I love you all!
Love,
Sister Kellee Gardner
