I really do love Easter soooooo much, it has to be one of my favorite holidays. Not so much for the candy but for gathering together as family and friends to celebrate the Risen Christ.
This week was not very eventful honestly. Scott is still doing very well. He is going out of town this weekend to celebrate a late easter. Yesterday for priesthood meeting he told everyone he is getting baptized on the 16th and invited everyone to that! I really hope I am here for that baptism. Transfers are coming up quick this next week, I should know if I am getting transferred by next Monday. I hope I stay honestly, me and Elder Bowden get along really well and we have been having a lot of success and enjoying the work of the Lord.
The most interesting part of the week was going to the jail. One of the Recent Converts got put in jail this past week and so we went and visited him Yesterday. That was a first for sure. Jails terrify me… We talked with him on a phone and through a cpu monitor that had a camera so we could see him. He was glad we came by and we shared a couple scriptures to comfort him and we left a Book of Mormon and a Bible so they could give it to him. A miracle happened when we were there though! We didnt know what to do when we walked in and so we were standing around looking like lost puppies and then a lady behind the visitation glass was waving us over and she said "Hey Elders I am Sister Smith" She hasn't been to church in a while and so we gave her our phone number so hopefully she will call us! Gods timing is perfect.
This past week I was reading a talk that was given a while ago about Jesus Christ of course. It gave a story about a guy that was watching a beetle and all the sudden it looked like it died and then cracked and out popped a beautiful butterfly. That is what Christ really does to us. Once we realize His true sacrifice He gave for us we can have new life. We can turn from something so bad into something so good! We have to let Him. My invitation to all of you is to let Him in. Let Him help you. Let Him heal you. Take His yoke upon you. Matthew 11:28-30 #hallelujah!!!!
I love you all and hope you enjoy General Conference as much as I will.
Elder Gardner
