Today is my 16 month mark!! Woot woot!!
This week was not a whole lot happened other than some people progressing and us finding new people. We had a pretty good week and are looking forward to this weekend for sure. Jamie and Caleb are going to be married and baptized in the same service! Brycen, Jamie's son, didn't come to church yesterday so he can't get baptized this weekend, but most likely next month. Satan has been working really hard on them though so keep praying hard! Jamie had to have surgery to have her gal bladder removed so we taught her 2 times in the hospital this past week. She wasn't feeling good yesterday either so she didn't come to church. We are praying really hard that satan backs off so they can get everything done to be married and baptized this weekend.
Yesterday at church there was a man, Scott, who walked into church and knew one of the members in our ward from the addiction recovery class. Turns out he has a brother who is a member in Chicago and it sparked his interest and came to church. We don't know much about him yet but he is pretty interested and we set up an appointment with him this week. We are looking forward to teaching another person who is going to progress.
Exciting news!!! Our ward had a temple trip this past weekend to do baptisms for the dead and Gordon went! He comes out with us all the time after dinner to teach with us and all week he was just so excited to go to the temple. We called him afterwards and he was just overwhelmed by the spirit! He said that was the best experience he has had in his life. By the end of the phone call he was in tears thanking us for bringing him into the church. Baptizing is not the end, getting them to the temple is next! He can't wait to go back to the temple again. THAT is what this work is all about!!
Much love! Till next week,
Elder Gardner
