That's awesome! I cant tell you how much I'm dying that i cant be there for all these crazy once in a life time events. why saint George? crazy about valentines day, i had totally forgot, i don't think people even know what that is here. about the b day package, I've been craving a calendar, i was thinking a sweet one of the church would be cool or maybe a Utah one, or maybe one of Brittney´s special home made ones. also i have been thinking of how i could get a bunch of the church pictures laminated so i can always have them to put up in the house. pictures like the classic savior with his red shirt of, sweet ones of Nephi, alma, Ammon, and joseph smith, and not just the every day ones that we always see like some sweet unique pics. i don't know just some ideas.
well we had a very interesting week, were we put some time in on the pavement. each night we would come home just exasperated. up it turned out to be a huge let down of a week. yesterday we had Giermo and Maria Guadalupe´s baptism and it was awesome. the zone leaders who serve in our same ward all so brought 7 to the baptism. and then one of our old investigators showed up and wanted to get baptized, i guess the bishop has been working with him. i was really close with family, so it was awesome to see him there. i hoping they will invite me to the temple in one year. I'm sending pics of all of them individually and then the whole thing. i think the coolest thing was that after the baptism, the bishop came up to elder marsh and me and told us that he has a golden reference for us. i felt so good, because i took that as he is starting to trust us more. when i first got here he had a sour taste for missionaries, but now were are getting better at working together, that how heavenly father planned out the work to go down:)
so, I've noticed that I'm just a big blob of orgullo. its been killing me, and a read elder Uchtdorf's talk about pride and how he talks about the way to over come it. i read this other talk this week that hit me like a ton of bricks. check it out
"my dear brothers and sisters, don't get discouraged if you stumble at times. don't feel downcast or despair if you don't feel worthy to be a disciple of Christ at all time. the first step to walking unrighteousness is simply to try. we must try to believe. try to learn of got read the scriptures study the words of his latter-day prophets choose to listen to the father and do the things he asks . try and keep on trying until that witch seems difficult seems possible and that which seems possible becomes habit and a real part of your life"
i love you all
Elder Gardner
