January 3, 2011

I´m not sure what holidays you are talking about.  this has been a different holiday season (not a big surprise), because i haven´t been with the family, but it was good and the work goes on.  i miss the food and the staying up late with the fam. 

we had a great week, not sure what changed but golden investigators are popping out of the woodwork.  we were walking down this street and saw this lady up on this latter trying to keep her balance while she painted her house.  we asked if we could help and she tried to be polite and tell us no but we helped her anyways.  it ended up talking the whole day and I'm pretty sure i ruined my pants and my shoes are covered in orange paint, but it was all worth it.  she kept telling us that we were angels sent from heaven, we went back the next day and taught her the next day.  we taught her and her neighbor, and after the lesson her neighbor told us she attended one of our church's with her friends when she was younger and felt so peaceful and happy.  she told us she felt the same feeling when were painting the house and during the lesson.  another experience, we were knocking doors, and this lady answered and told us to come in, she told us that she had been waiting for us to knock her door. the next three days we taught back to back to back and she is getting baptized on the 16 of enero.  we had an awesome domingo, and had 9 investigators attend church and next week we are hoping for double that.   things are going great. 

thanks for sending garrisons and Aarons letters through dear elder, its always good to hear from them.  that's crazy about garrison reaching one year and having a little boy. what a stud.  could you get me garrisons and Aarons mailing address. good luck mom in san frantic, that should be pretty fun. don't worry about the girls you have the boys to look after them:)

I hope you are all doing well, and are as happy as can be.  sorry I'm so terrible at writing letters, hopefully i will get better.  good luck and do work.

love you

Elder Gardner
