AND THE LORD CONTINUES BLESSING US DAY BY DAY...

Hola a todos...


This week has been another amazing week of miracles and blessings!  We found another 9 new investigators this week and are planning for a lot of baptisms in June.  We announced the baptism of Sonya and Agustin yesterday in church for the 11th of June (we had to announce it two weeks in advance because she works in a hospital where they make her work every other weekend and she wasn`t able to get off 2 weekends in a row). they are really excited and even brought a friend of Agustin to church with them. Sonya has a challenge ahead of her that she needs to stop smoking before friday of this week or she won`t be able to be have her baptismal interview this friday for her baptism on the 11th. We are also trying to help Gustavo to stop smoking because he also wants to get baptized on the 11th, and Louisa(a 72 year old lady who is nearly deaf told us that she was finally feeling ready to get baptized) who we have been teaching for almost 2 months with having to write out half of what we teach so she can understand it. We found a family of 5 Gabriela Nuñez(the mom), David Louis(the dad, he`s from Nebraska USA), Kevin(17, getting out of drugs), Angie(22, getting out of drugs), and Cristian(12, goes to a catholic school) this week who are interested in getting to know the church. They didn`t go to church, but we are excited to help them get to church next week. We also found several other great people who can get baptized in June as well.

The Lord is blessing us in ways that I didn`t know existed and is continuing to help us in our trials and difficulties. We are serving with all of our heart, might, mind and strength and then we are allowing the Lord and the Spirit to do the rest. Please keep the following investigators in your prayers so that they can find the strength and will to stop smoking in this week... Sonya Viberti, Gustavo Perez, Claudia Irisiti, Gabriela Nuñez, Angie, Kevin and please pray that all of our investigators can overcome the opposition that there is every sunday to get up early and go to church.

Thank you so much and I want to let you all know that I love you and am learning every day how to love more like the Savior who loves us all perfectly and fully. May we follow His example so that we can become instruments in the Lord`s hands to bring others unto Christ. My new favorite scripture is D&C 1:38 (Colin you should memorize this one because it`s scripture mastery...).

Hey if you want me to make you a scripture case for your scriptures I need the pictures that you want on them (one for the front and another for the back) I can get some done for each of us in the family. I`m going to make one for my quadruple for when I come home. Thanks for everything you do.

Love,
Elder Gardner
