Hola
Can’t tell you how excited I was to see your email. We got on the internet at 10 and I didn’t have a single email, that’s always a junky feeling. We decided to try again. Thanks for the write. It’s just not the same when I don’t hear from you.
I’m not sure if I knew your aunt. When I hear about people dying and I don’t really know them, I just get this excited feeling, but it’s not for the fact that they died, it’s because I know that they just advanced to the next part of the plan. Your aunt has passed on, but just think of what it’s like for her right now. She can see the family that she hasn’t see in a long time. Not sure exactly how its going to be, but if we do every thing right I know it will pretty sweet.
Thanks for the prayers for Luz y Jesus. They are so excited, they have everything ready for the wedding this Saturday. Then Sunday we are all getting wet in the baptismal water. They are so amazing. Yesterday in principles of the gospel, there was a debate about what was going to happen in the millennium. There was an hermana that was trying to make the lesson really complicated. The tension was building in the class and then Jesus says, "All I know is the Church is true, and what this Book says is right." It quieted the class and I felt the Spirit. Latter in the priesthood class the maestro gets up and says, "Ok, not going to lie, I didn’t prepare for the class, and I haven’t read the chapter." Then he asks who read the chapter. It was quite and then Jesus busts into explaining what he got out of reading the chapter. It was really cool. They are soooo ready for the water. We got the invite to the wedding so I’ll send pics next week.
So Elder Briggs and I got the chance to talk in sacrament meeting yesterday. It was an awesome experience. All week I was pondering about what to talk on, and little by little I understood what I was suppose to learn and share with the ward. I talked about the Will of God. Our responsibility in this life is to understand Gods will and then do it. As I was studying the topic, I remembered what happened with Marcus when he was little, with the epilepsy. I don’t even really know the story very well, but what I remember is that you and dad had the faith to pray and fast for a complete recovery for Marc. How did you know to pray for a complete recovery? I then remembered you saying that you and dad FELT you should pray for that specific blessing. When we pray we are aligning our will with Gods. We have no power, nor right, nor understanding to change Gods will. But when we understand what the will of God is, like you and dad did in this situation, we can have complete confidence that it will happen, if we have faith. That’s what I shared with the ward…and a little more. I can’t wait to talk to you and dad about all the details of that experience, and what you think about what I just shared.
Three weeks. That’s weird. Have a great week, I hope all is happy in Happy Valley. God bless.
Love,
Elder Gardner
