| Leadership training meeting (before going to the hospital) |
Sorry I didn´t tell you too much about the hospital last week. We
stayed in the hospital and Elder L had a super cool bed that
moved up and down, and I slept on a futon that they had. President
McArthur´s counselor, who lives close to the hospital would bring me
food. One day was fast sunday so he didn´t have to bring me food for
a day, but to break my fast his wife made me meatloaf, and it was
really good. (en español se llama pastel de carne)
we tried talking
to all of the nurses, because their were many with specific
responsiblilites, but there was one that we could talk to well, and
we gave her a book of mormon and got her direction! We got home by
bus, that took about 4 hours, but it was ok because I printed off
some talks to read.

That´s pretty good advice mom. Looks like you´re doing a great
job in college. Keep going and you will get your diploma!...oh wait.
I´m probably just going to mention in my homecoming talk that my
little brother thanny is the cute priest on the stand (then everyone
will laugh and he´ll blush)
I still don´t know how to cook.
This was a really good week. Elder L is feeling a lot better,
and so we have been able to work a lot more. We had one experience
on wednesday, where we suddenly got a phone call from a member in
Torreon Mexico! They told us that she had a reference for us that
wanted to get baptized, and so we decided to go with him
immediately. Well, he really wanted to get baptized, and we had a
really awesome lesson with him, where he shared a little bit about
how he was searching for the truth for 5 years, and how his friend
had introduced it to him. He´s a widower, whose wife passed away
three years ago. We asked if he could go to church this week, and he
said that he had already asked his boss if he could get work off on
sundays, well he did! and so now he has a baptismal date for the 6th
of august!
We had another experience where a member had brought a neighbor
to the fathers activity that they had in the church, and he told us
that he wanted to get baptized too. He came to church, and it´s
true, he told us that he wanted to have more peace in his life and
be baptized, so he also has a baptismal date for the 6th. He´s a
blind man, but he still loved church. We have a really good pool of
investigators. There is a partial member family that a member gave
as a reference to us that wasn´t able to come this week because they
had an accident in the family, but they´re great as well and they
should be baptized soon. You can see that all of these people are
coming from the members. It is true that members are the best
missionaries. Really, we as missionaries are called to teach full
time, while members are called to find full time. That´s something
that Elder Bednar said in a general conference a while back. It´s
been like that for the most part my whole mission, So that means
that when I get home I´ve got to really look hard and find people
that the missionaries can teach, even in utah and BYU
I put sunscreen on everyday and I drink a lot of water. I eat
pretty healthy as well, at least that´s what Elder L tells the
other people.
I love you mom!
Elder Garner
