1/20/15

Hello!
Well this week has definitely been interesting. 
Monday our P-day was shorter by 3 hours because on Thursday we went to the temple! Which it was really cool to find out that Uncle Jim was going through for the first time that day! The temple was amazing! I just love the peace that comes there.
Wednesday we moved apartments, we moved in with Hermanas! they are both Samoan/Hawaiian. That was a crazy day, but I'm glad its over, moving is stressful, even as a missionary. 
On Thursday we were able to visit a Sister in our ward who is really struggling. I just loved the visit. I loved seeing the change in her attitude and the peace that she had. Once she opened up to us and we were really able to see her concerns and help her, it was awesome. It was one of those moments that I knew I was where I was supposed to be. 
Emo and Su are doing good right now, still loving the Book of Mormon and progressing pretty well. 
Alex and Brandon told us that they aren't getting baptized on the date we had set in February.. they still want to get baptized, but don't feel like they are ready yet.
It was kind of a challenging week with other investigators too.
Some are doing great, some are really struggling. It is hard to know how to help them, especially those that feel like they aren't ready for baptism. They are ready, well at least we feel like they are. Maybe its just that, a test for us to recognize the Lords time. It is just hard. But hey, thats Missionary Work!
Thank you all for your support, I feel it, especially with weeks like this one, I know that your prayers are answered as well as mine. I am grateful for each of you! I love you all!
Love, 
Sister Gardner
