I don't have anytime to write to you, but I just wanted to send my love and appreciation for all your prayers and love that you have shown to me. We missionaries need all of the prayers that we can get! Also, I know you are praying on behalf of those we are teaching and again, I see the miracles and blessings happening daily in their lives.
It's been a hectic yet SO rewarding of a week.
We had 2 little girls get baptized this week along with 2 from my last area. And a sister who recently was reactivated in the church from one of my last areas just went through the Temple to receive her Endowment and I was able to go and be a part of that. Being a part of this glorious work is such an honor and I love my Heavenly Father so so much. That's why I get up each and every day! To help Him hasten His work.
In case you may not know, I was transferred AGAIN to Kearns. It's an area FULL of people to find and teach and baptize. They are the more humble people of all the areas I have served in simply because they don't have all that much. My companion is SIster Cheng from Hong King, china. She is a fireball missionary and a powerhouse too! love her so much.
Miracles are happening! I love my mission! I can't believe I only have 6 more months... WHAT! Still so much time :) And I love having the opportunity to speak in Sacrament meetings, yesterday I spoke on President Monson's talk "Be Strong and of a Good Courage." Sharing my conversion story is one of my most powerful tools, along with the Spirit of course. It's a touching story for all to hear. I had a lady come up to me after Sacrament and said, "thank you for your talk, I really needed to hear that because I was having a hard morning." Even if her heart was the only one touched, I did my part.
Love you all! Sorry for the short email... I will add stories next week!
Hugs & Handshakes,
Sister Garretson
