This week had its good and had its not so good but that there is usually no bad week in missionary work, I mean we share the best message on the face of the earth so how bad could it be?! We continue to see miracle after miracle and I am grateful for that. It is due to our exact obedience.
We ran into quite a few people that were somewhat nice but they just wanted to argue the Book of Mormon. I will tell you what, not much gets my blood boiling but when someone rejects the Book of Mormon or puts it down because they have read something on the internet or heard something from someone about it that gets me going! We ran into quite a few bashers and had a argument that we should have walked away from at the start but we didnt. The sad part is they had never read the Book of Mormon but read the internet to find out information about it rather than going to the source.
The family from Africa has been doing well, we were not able to meet with them this past week due to their aunt going into the hospital. They did come to church and enjoyed their time there. We will be going over Saturday to share more with them.
We have been teaching a guy named Bill who has been progressing well. He was actually a media referral. He talked with a member in Arizona when he lived there and the member encouraged him to read Moroni's promise and pray about it. He did and then moved here to Florida and ran into another member who referred him to us. He knows the Book of Mormon is true and has a sincere desire to change his life. Its amazing to see people change. I am so blessed to be able to witness and help someone to change their life.
Cheryl has been doing great as well of course. She is insanely prepared. Literally. We teach her at members house once a week and we give her pamphlets in advance to read and she reads the pamphlet and takes a ton of notes. She has already read most of the Gospel principles book. I dont even do that on my spare time.
I am really excited to see you my family on Mothers day! I can not believe Danielle is coming home this week. It makes me realize how precious this time is and how short it really is. I am going to do everything I can to bring the Gospel to everyone here. I have come to realize throughout the year and a half I have been how important this message is and how much God wants to bless us if we only be obedient. I will be eternally grateful for the Gospel and for my family.
Much Love,
Elder Gardner
