I'm so glad you were able to go to Dallas, what a blessing. i know you have to worry about the testing, but i know that you will do awesome, good luck! Well, i guess we watched exactly the opposite sessions. i only saw priesthood, and Sunday sessions. My favorite talk out of them all was from President Monson on Sunday Mourning. cant wait till i get it in English. in between the sessions on Sunday we had a district baptismal service, it was awesome. we baptized a celestial unit. this family is Beto and Yazmin, and their two kid Jonathan and Valeria. this is a super special family, and they had a miracle week leading up to their baptism. they were living in a union libre, and so we knew we had to marry them this week to get them baptized Sunday. we thought everything would go smooth, but as always there were a few huge stumbling blocks. to make the story a little more short, they didn't have the right papers to get them hitched. we have a connection with a judge here that always helps us marry people fast and cheap. we called to see if she could help us out because we lacked the right papers, she told us their was nothing we could do. the whole week we had been asking the members to pray for this family so that they could get married, but we ran out of options. my comp got the idea to try the judge again, and I'm not sure what he said but he made a deal with the judge so that we could make the marriage happen. we had some long rides in the combi to get them married but it all worked out. when we finalized the papers the judge told us that she had to put the date of the marriage for the 1st of October, not knowing the mind of the lord we told her that would be alright. when we past by on Friday to see if all was good for the baptism Sunday, beto told us he could go. he tried to ask for Sunday off but they wouldn't let him. he said if he would have gotten married on the 1st they would have given him Sunday off. a huge smile came over me and my comp to explain that for some reason the judge changed the date for the 1st. super crazy, they we super stoked to hear that. their baptismal service was awesome. i know that was a miracle, and it came to pass because of sincere prayers from the ward.
O yeah we had changes today, elder Baez left, and i got the news that I'm going to have a new bouncing baby boy, fresh from the states. Heavenly fathers is trying to teach me something with all these greenie greens. i pick him up tomorrow. i let you know how it goes. i love you so much. keep the smiles, and have a fantastic week.
Elder Gardner
