This next week is Transfers!!! I wont be going anywhere I will be staying in New Tampa with Elder Nettleton.
Since we have been meeting with Farony his mom wasn't too sure she wanted him to get baptized. We had a lesson and invited his mom to join. We talked about the importance of baptism and talked about the restoration again. After talking she said if it is something he wants to do I am fine with it. We were able to set a more solid baptism date for him to work towards. He came to church yesterday as well and loved it. When we were meeting with his mom he told his mom how he likes coming to our church because its an actual church and not a wal mart church! Harsh but im not going to say that its false!
I learned a good lesson this week about real intent. I dont have to go into detail but the Holy Ghost taught me a good life lesson. We had to repair a car and I didnt ask much about the detail of what happened I just gave them their money and took their word for it. I found out later that we had a warranty on the car. Trough multiple phone calls we found out the reason the warranty didnt cover the repair. If I would have had real intent I could have got all the information on the first call instead of just taking their word for it. It is like "The parable of the Orange" given in a BYU Idaho YSA devotional. I highly recommend reading or listening to that talk, it taught me a lot.
This past week I ponderized Alma 7:11-12. I love that scripture and how it explains that Jesus Christ has taken upon himself OUR trials and OUR afflictions. We do not have to go through trials alone. He promises He will not leave us comfortless. He has payed the ultimate price for all of US! In return He asks us to do so little. Keep His commandments.
Special shout out to my little/not so little anymore sister ALEXA!! Happy Bday tomorrow!!!
I love you all and hope you all have a great week!
Elder Gardner
