September 21st

Well family and friends tomorrow I will be out 11 months and it doesnt feel that way. I feel like I just got here yesterday but at the same time I feel like I have been here forever! Months go by like weeks out here in the mission field. 

As for us we had a good week here in Tampa. We set out to find a lot more investigators and we got quite a few. It is amazing to see how the Lord puts people in your path so you can meet them and he truly does prepare people and softens their hearts. The other day while tracting a guy let us right in his home and gave us some water and explains how he has been raised religious but has fallen away from it and has felt a change. He has been opening up and he wants there to be someone who is there listening to his prayers and comforting him. I know there is.

It was Elder Nettletons Birthday on Friday and so we were able to celebrate it by doing missionary work! He got a couple packages from his friends and family and I got a little jealous but mine is next month on the 20th for all of those who are reading this email (hint hint). Just kidding I will love you all no matter what.

We were walking through a neighborhood last week and came across a sweet new invention! I sent a quick video of it. This should be the new way to do missionary work. I will send it to President Monson and see what he thinks! Just kidding. 

Unfortunately we will no longer be in a tripanionship. Elder Newbold got a new companion and so it will be just us but that is how the Lord designed missionary work. 

We have been working with Ferony this past week on getting him to come to church and he finally came to church!! He knew a couple kids from the ward who go to school with him. He said its a lot better than the church his mom goes to. We will see how things go with him. 

Love you all!!
Elder Gardner
