Well this week FLEW by! AGAIN! Here is the run-down:
-Monday: we had an FHE with some members, and we showed the Christmas video of Light the World (see mormon.org)
-Tuesday: an Hermana made us lasagna! That was wonderful! And well we found our new family, Byron and Ana Maria! Byron had an accident a few years ago that left him unable to walk. He is just now starting to walk a little more. His wife is great to just take care of him. They live very humbly, and it has really helped me to see that you don't need a lot of "things" in life. I was able to see a lot of humble houses outside of the capital, but it has been a few months since then.
-Wednesday: we had to get everything ready for our service project on Thursday! It went surprisingly well! We were really worried that we wouldn't have many people there, and that we would't have enough food, etc. But we ended up having about 45 people that came! We cleaned up the cemetery that is down the street from our house. THAT PLACE IS HUGE!! But it was great, some of our investigators, and less actives came!
-Friday: we taught a new investigator, Ivan. He is living with some members and has come to church 2 times. So we went to teach him, and he is super great! Super open and understands a lot!! We have a lot of hope for him!!
-Saturday: SO IT IS BASICALLY ALREADY CHRISTMAS!!!! On Saturday we got a call from some less actives, and they told us to come over, and they gave us Christmas pillows!!!! And then later our ward mission leader gave us some scarfs!!! It was pretty great!
-Sunday: One of the less actives that we have been working with came to church!!!! And the devotional was wonderful!!!! I loved how they talked about gifts and peace.
Ponderizing: Moroni 7:12-13, All good things come from God!
Love you all!
-Hermana Garrett
