Quick Hello

Hey guys!

Favorite quote/scripture:

DC 64: 33-34. I don't have time to type it out, so go look it up. I like how it talks about this work. I want to give my whole soul to the Lord as I go about doing His work. This is important. I want to make sure that I give my all.

Favorite funny moment:

So this wasn't like a laugh out loud moment or anything, but more of just a cool thing. We had a two week training follow up for all of the trainees and their trainers last Tuesday. One of the missionaries that came in with Sister O'Bourke is from Thailand. I'm not even going to guess at how to spell her name. She's still learning English, but she's been doing really good. Now that it wasn't her first day, I introduced myself again. Normally when I tell people my name, if they say it back to me to make sure that it's right, I say something like "yep, like the cat." She sounded it out to make sure she was saying it right, and I told her she got it, and this time, she was the one who asked "like the cat?" I thought it was awesome. Things have now come full circle. ; )

Other stuff:

Monse's kids are getting baptized on February 24th! Yay! We are seriously so excited. Just so everyone knows, the ones who are getting baptized are named Kelly, Sergio, and Mariah. The younger ones, Mary Jane and Stone, are too little, but Mary Jane turns 8 this October and is super excited too! We're putting together the last details still, but it should be really good. AND (drumroll please)..... we were able to pick up Monse's sister Cindy as an investigator too! She's coming to their baptism, and we're hoping that she will really be able to feel the Spirit there. This is awesome.

.. Love,

Sister Garfield

For one of our lessons with Monse's family this week, we did a picnic! It was so cool. We had an awesome lunch outside, (just for the record, Mexican mayo is freaking good ; ) and then we had a lesson about the temple. It was so cool to get to feel the Spirit so strong as we talked about how they can be a family forever. I love these kids' testimonies.

My family knows me so well. Yep. It's a chocolate truck. ; )
