First off HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all you mothers out there!!!!!! You will never know how much good you do.
Well family I feel like it was just yesterday that I was able to see you all... Oh wait!!! It was great to see the Gardner Gang and some other faces. It blows my mind that that is my last time skyping home for the rest of my 2 years.
As for this week in Florida it was great! Luckily it wasnt too terribly hot this week but it will be really picking up soon. We have been able to teach a lot of people this week, Elder Farr doesnt like thinking about going home next week so we are just going to work just as hard if not harder this week because he goes home next week. With my lovely sister going home and my companion going home it has really helped me realize how fast time goes. I am sprinting to the end there is no other way to put it.
We have been teaching a guy named Bill who was a media referral that we got a couple weeks ago I am not sure if I have explained much about him. He has met a few members recently and has a real desire to be baptized. He is actually homeless currently but he does daily labor and gets money so he hopefully wont be homeless for too much longer. He came to church yesterday and loved it. He looked really good too. His baptism is going to be on the 21st and he is really excited for that. We had a little issue with the Bishopric but we were able to talk with them about the situation. My advice is to not judge. Everyone needs the Gospel. We are to find, teach, and baptize and that does not mean everyone except homeless. They need it just as much as anyone else if not more.
Godtime had a track meet this past weekend and since he is really the leader of the family they were not able to come to church. We did have a good lesson with Alfonzo, the father, and he said he does want the family to be baptized. We will have more information next week.
My testimony will be that of Joshua 3:5. "Sanctify yourselves for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you". Throughout my mission I have gained a testimony of that. If we Sanctify ourselves by being obedient to Gods commands then the Lord will do wonders among us. Repentance and Change is not just a one time deal. Change is something that needs to happen every day. If you are comfortable then the devil has won. Constantly Sanctify yourselves and watch the Lord do wonders among you.
Thank you all for your support. I love being a missionary.
Elder Gardner
