Well it has been a crazy week- I think every week on a mission is a crazy week though. Anyways we had some great things happen.
1- Emo and Su. We had great lessons with both of them this week, We invited them to be baptized and they said YES!! I am so excited for them. The spirit that was there and their desire to learn more and to follow Christ is just awesome.
2-Nese. We were able to meet with Nese and talk with her about her concerns. She has a lot of faith, and every time we meet with her she asks us questions and you can just tell that she wants to be better.
3-Tianna. She was really struggling for a while, but it was so awesome to see the turn around in her. I would like to think that it was in part from our visiting her, but I really think it was all her.
4- Alex and Brandon. We committed them to be baptized and I can't even tell you how excited I am for them. This family is just awesome and I love 'em. They teach us the lessons, and I love hearing what they have come to know for themselves!
5- Food for the Elders. So on Tuesday at district meeting we discovered that the Elders were about to starve til Wednesday, because they really don't get fed and they were out of money. Well they sure talked to the right Sisters. Us and the 1st ward sisters have a bunch of food in our apartments and we get fed almost every night. We each went home and gathered food to give them. Sister Laiti and I made it a bit more fun by wrapping it up in boxes, but after all of that I don't think these Elders will go hungry...
6-Sister Laiti. Well this week I am seriously grateful for my companion. She is an awesome listener, and a great teacher. All things which I have needed this week.
I took some time to think about things that I have learned in the past year and one of the biggest things that I have seen over and over again is that trials really are a blessing and that they do make us stronger. We are prepared for the future by the things we experience today.
I am so grateful to be here serving the people and the Lord. I am grateful for the things that I have learned so far and the experiences that I have had. It is so exciting to see people change their lives, some people make more changes than others. The Gospel is for everyone!
I hope each of you had a wonderful new year!
I love you all!
Sister Kellee Gardner
