Hey mom!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY EVERYONE. Thank you to all the Soldiers, Marines,
Sailors, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen who serve the great country of the USA! I
am proud to say I’m American.
This week was different because of the trio. We visited new
parts of our sector, and had to develop a new teaching style with the three of
us. Elder Letelier is back on his feet
so soon it will be just Elder Bennion and I.
We did a lot of exploring and found some very dangerously
muddy trails looking for off the beaten path houses. Ended up falling several
times. Grateful for detergent. Iit was really fun to find all these
different points of view of the sector we always thought we knew like the back
of our hand!
Catherine couldn’t visit this week because of
difficulties in our schedule and in hers.
We found a couple new people. All because we shined our shoes. In a
desperate chance to do something to receive the blessing to find new people, we
decided to shine our shoes. Believing
that when we take care of what we already have, God will bless us with more!
AND it worked! Now we will see if the pattern continues, and I have faith it
will. We will also have to up our game and
clean our house!
In my studies this week, I was in the book of Mormon, in
the Book of M0rmon. It was during the
difficult situation Mormon is put in, being the general of the army of a wicked
nation. I imagine it would’ve been very difficult to not have the support of
your people who had the least bit of intergrety or honesty. Which brings us
back to Memorial Day. Unlike the Nephites at this time, Honorable men and women
lay their lives down on the line daily to make this world a better place and
for us to have our freedom of choice. For them I am grateful! However, I’m more
grateful for the knowledge that Christ lives, and that He loves me and He wants
to help me in every waking moment.
Today, we played and taught ultimate Frisbee in a zone
activity. I really really really... miss
sports! It was a great time getting out there in the brisk morning and running
around. I know its May and hot there, but here it’s getting to be quite... wait
for it... Chilly. Get it?
So have a great day, I leave you with that pun!
Love you,
Garrett
