NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED OVERNIGHT...

We had a great phone call with Jeremy yesterday where he shared a lot about his new area, new companion and responsibilities as a Zone Leader.  He sounds great and has a Spanish accent now to his English.  The hardest part of the phone call is always saying goodbye... The good news is we only have one more phone call before he returns.  He loves being in the city and the fact that it allows him to see so many more new people to share the gospel with.  He continues to love being a missionary and serving in Uruguay. 

Hola a todos...


It was great talking to you on the phone.  I love you all and am very grateful for all the support and love that you have given me.  It sounds like you are all doing well back home as well.  Well I don`t have much more to report, except that we are excited for the baptism of Ezequiel Machado this Saturday at 5:00.  We have found a bunch of great investigators here in this past week and we are excited for this next week. 

We received instructions from President Da Silva to study as if we were just starting the mission in Preach my Gospel and follow a 12 week study plan to study the whole thing well and thoroughly.   We are way excited to do this and are sure that it will help the whole mission out a lot.  We are helping our two district leaders this transfer who are being District leaders for the first time in the mission and are learning a lot and learning how to love and serve the missionaries in their districts.  Please pray for Elder Gurr and Elder Peña so they can continue to help their districts to have success. 

I know that this church is true and that there is no other way that the work and the priesthood could be organized and run but by the authority of God and by revelation. I know that Christ lives and that he payed for every one of my sins. Keep striving with all your heart, might, mind and strength to make and keep the sacred covenants that we have made when we were baptized and when we went to the temple and if you haven`t been baptized or gone to the temple, DO IT NOW and prepare so that you can live worthily of these sacred promises between you and God.

Love you all,
Elder Gardner
