O mother dearest,
I love to hear from you each week. I cant tell you how much I've appreciated hearing each week from you and hearing the report on the family. It’s crazy to think that the whole family hasn't been together for 8 years, is that right? Anyways, a long time.
We are seeing this ward grow little by little each week. Our investigators pool consists of 5 couples who are not married. We have a lot of work to do. We found a lady on Saturday, we were looking for some menos acitvos, but come to find out that the menos acitvos had moved. Instead of finding the family we were looking for we found Esperanza. She is a single mom with 2 boys. She didn't have any time to talk to us because she was cleaning but told us she was interested in talking with us. She has a friend in the states that has talked about the church with her. We convinced her to let us in to just say a prayer. After the prayer we helped her clean her house. She went to church yesterday and loved it. The other missionaries had a baptism after wards and esperanza was super interested in seeing it. After the baptism we explained the importance of the baptism and that her family can be together forever. She started to cry. In the relief society they were talking about genealogy and food storage. Esperanza was taken back by all the things the church is teaching. We have a lesson with her today and we’ll see what she really thought. We are so blessed to be members of this church. ¡la iglesia es verdadero! ¡no?
Thanks for sending the shirts. I’ll work them hard for the last 5 months. Tell the ward i love them, and that I can’t wait to see everybody. Thanks for everything. I love you tons.
Elder Gardner
