Hola a todos...
We had an amazing week here in Hospital, Durazno this week!!! We found 12 new investigators and now have 4 baptisms planned for the 30th of December. We are working hard and trusting in the Lord and following the promptings of the Spirit and we have been led to a bunch of great new investigators. We talked to a member in the ward who told us that we are going to be able to use their computer and skype for Christmas, but I´ll let you know next week how and when we are going to do it (what time do you have church at right now or what time would be better to be able to do our skype call?). Elder Clarke is a really good singer so he will be singing ¨What Child is this¨ while I play the piano and we will be accompanied by Elder Aguirre on the Violin for our musical number this wednesday in the Christmas Conference. The zone is doing well now and I know that if we keep working this hard that the Lord will bless us with at least 13 baptisms this month in Durazno.

We had a little adventure this morning when our Toilet broke and started spraying water all over the place but we fixed it all for less than a dollar! It was a little crazy but I think that we handled it really well and fixed it fairly quickly. Well, now after I finish writing you We are going to go to the stake center to play soccer and practice our musical number for the Christmas conference this Wednesday. That will make for a fun and exciting Pday.
I´m excited for this Christmas conference on wednesday and for our ward christmas party this saturday. The members are really gaining a lot of trust in us and have now already given us 3 really good referrals that will be getting baptized in the next few weeks! I love this ward and am so greatful to be able to be serving here now with Elder Clarke. We are now teaching a family or 11 (only 4 are listening to us for now) named the Silveira family, A 19 year old girl who moved in with some members because her family kicked her out named Katy, Fabiana and Mariana who live with the Cicao Family (pronounced ¨Seacow¨), a mother of a member who will be leaving for his mission on Feb. 29th to Columbia who wants to get baptized now. And a father of a family named Mauricio who had listened to missionaries before but never got baptized.
I love missionary work and I know that the Lord is directing it because it is His work. I know that He loves each and every one of His children and that He wants them to get to know Him and come unto Him through baptism and becoming a member of His church. I know that this is the true and only Church that Christ himself has authorized on the earth. The Book of Mormon is true and will change the lives and hearts of every person that will take the time to consistantly read it. Now is a perfect time to share our message of Christ with all those who have not yet heard it during this Christmas season, Keep serving those in need and also look for opprotunites to share your testimony and invite those around you to come and follow Christ through listening to the missionaries and getting to know His Chruch. I love you all so much and thanks for all that you do for God´s Children. Have a GREAT WEEK!!!
Love,
Elder Gardner
P.S. Hey Colin... Don´t be chub and get a job and go on some dates. I keep hearing that you are so tough and strong so I don´t think that those kind of things would scare you, haha. Love you and Mason and keep up the good work, you are both going to be great missionaries! The mission is the best! Are you reading the Book of Mormon and Preach my Gospel?
