Hey! I'm still in Chacabuco with my capa of a
companion Hermana Manriquez! I'll be here for 2 more months!! YAY :D
Chacabuco has my HEART! A little about what's going on here:
Sacrament meeting had 32 people on Sunday! SUCH a
great accomplishment, I couldn't believe it! It made me tear up seeing
so many people ready to take the Sacrament.
The Diaz family
is doing GREAT! The three kids are being baptized this weekend!!!
Ludmila, Anahí, and Cristan (Manù) hehe :) I LOVE THEM. Every one of
them had to be my best friend in the pre-excistance. I seriously feel
like I've known them forever. Please please please pray for them, they
need as many prayers as they can get, especially this week.
Our dear Mission President and his wife are leaving for the United
States on Saturday :( I am heartbroken. Their mission (of 3 years) has
come to an end. I am SO forever grateful for the HUGE impact they have
made on my life. They have CHANGED my life for the better. Such amazing
people. On tuesday we traveled to Ramos Mejia to have a huge mission
conference (and transfer meeting) to say goodbye to President Carter and
Sister Carter. We watched a few videos of them and thier mission and we
were all bawling. And then at the end they showed a video of their
family, and we balled even more. And then, every one of us (238
missionaries) got to go shake hands and hug Pres. and Sister Carter
while someone was playing the piano. We were all crying.. watching other
people wait to go say goodbye to them was very touching. It made me
think of what it will be like to greet the Savior.
Our new president will arrive this Saturday. I don't like change. haha :) but I'm excited to get to know President Robertson!
Yesterday
we visited a member who is very old out in her ranch (quinta) and we
drank REAL MILK! With a nice thick layer on top. It was great. And
delicious!
We're working our TAILS off. I LOVE this work. Every
day I am understanding better and better my purpose and the amazingness
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I can't believe I only have 5 months
left. This is my life! I can't imagine my life being anything other than
the way it is right now. 100 percent dedicated to God.
I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior, and the
Savior of all mankind. If I don't accomplish anything else in my
mission, this assurance is plenty enough for me.
I love you all!
Hermana Gardner
