Sometimes Mom forgets to post!

SORRY EVERYONE!  We were so excited to get letters this week, but also so busy that I forgot to post until today!  Here is the letter and pictures from Monday!


Hey everybody!

Favorite scripture/quote:
3 Nephi 28: 11 I love how this is just a simple testimony of the Godhead, and makes it clear the purposes of each member. It's just simple, but it stood out to me.
4 Nephi 1: 15-18 When we have contention, it drives away the Spirit. When we focus on Christ, it invites the Spirit. I want to make sure that I always am living in such a way to be able to have the Spirit with me.

Favorite spiritual experience:
Oh man, there were so many this week.
We had a lesson with Monse and her family this week just a couple of days before the baptism. It was so cool. We read Alma 32 with them, which was super cool because Monse's nonmember sister was there too and loved the imagery of it. But the coolest part of it was that Monse bore her testimony to her kids. It was so amazing. Every time we leave, we feel so spiritually fed, but this was even more incredible. I don't even remember what she said, but it was so powerful. I can tell that she is just so grateful to have this gospel in her life again, and it is so cool to hear her kids' testimonies too.

That brings me to another awesome highlight: Kelly, Sergio, and Mariah's baptism! They're Monse's three oldest kids, and they're so amazing. It was so cool to see how excited they were for it, and the were just so happy. These kids have seriously made a huge impact on my life.

Funny stuff:
We had ward correlation for YSA outside this week, and our assistant ward mission leader's bulldog slobbered All Over Sister Parker's dress. It was super gross, because the dog had been gnawing on a stick or something like that. She got it out, but it was just super funny too. We all laughed really hard.
Love you all!
Love,
Sister Garfield


Yay!!! Baptism!!
Left to right: Kelly, Sergio, and Mariah. They're so awesome. : )

(Ignore how awkward my face looks in this.) Hermana Vincent is going back to Puerto Rico, so this was our Sisters' lunch to say goodbye at their house
 last week.

Elder Noble got a Valentine (from his family) in the form of a puzzle. So of course, the whole zone wanted to help him to put it together. ; )

Exchange adventure! We happened to find a couch on the side of the road with a "free" sign, so Sister Moses decided she wanted to take it home.

Is it going to fit?

Haha nope. Not even close. ; )

Hey everybody! With it being Fathers Day on Sunday, I just wanted to tell you all how grateful I am for my dad. He's really so amazing. He is such an amazing example to me, and I have learned so much from him. It is such a blessing to have such an amazing father in my life. I know that I am so blessed. Cool Scripture: One I liked from this week was 3 Nephi 18:10-12. It's about the sacrament and how important it is. I like how it mentions that if we always remember Him, we will have His Spirit to be with us. It just was cool to look at it that way. I don't know if I had ever realized that that was the reason behind it before. Spiritual stuff: We had a super awesome lesson with the Alfarros this week. Since we've picked them all up at different times, we wanted to review the Restoration again before the first few get baptized, but we wanted to do it a little differently than usual. We decided to show the video about it. It was so amazing, guys. The movie is ...

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 ...

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well! Thank you for your prayers and your support; I am so grateful for all of you! Here's this week's favorites: Favorite Quote: Jacob 4: 11-12. This one is too long for me to take the time to type out, so you all have to go look it up. I came across this scripture during personal study the other day and seriously had this "have I ever read this before in my life" moment because it was so good. The line that I do really love that I will type out is "for why not speak of the atonement of Christ." The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the greatest gift anyone could ever give, and our Heavenly Father gave it to us because He love us more than we can even begin to comprehend. He sent His son, because He wants us to be able to return home to Him. We have this amazing, wonderful blessing of a gift in our lives, and we are blessed to know about it. Though we don't fully understand the power of it, we know of it and we...
