Dante's Inferno

-

Hey everybody!  

Favorite scripture:
This is probably in Isaiah too, but I don't have time to try to find it, haha: 2 Nephi 8:12, and also a few verses after that, but mostly twelve. I liked this because the Lord is trying to help us to know with such confidence who He is. Because if we know who He is and what He's done for us, we have no reason to fear anyone or anything. He is the one that comforts us.

Favorite spiritual thing:
Brother Alfarro and his oldest son passed the sacrament on Sunday! It was so cool to see. Then, after church, the son went with the other priests to do in-home sacraments and blessed it for the first time too! It's so cool to keep seeing people progress.

Favorite funny thing:
Sister Trujillo and I had to drive to a meeting in LA this week, and we had to leave pretty early in the morning, when everyone was still driving to work. First off, it took a ridiculously long time to drive about 15 miles, but what was funnier was the cars we passed on the way there. All the cars heading away from LA, towards the suburbs for work were definitely cars meant for working and also for families; lots of Semi-trucks, minivans, and pickup trucks full of landscaping tools or pool-cleaning supplies. Meanwhile, all the cars heading toward LA were super nice and expensive. I think there was one point where we were surrounded by a mercedes, a porche, a mazzerati, an audi, a few bmws, a couple of sports cars, and a few other crazy ones. It was exciting.

Other stuff:
It got so hot this week! I knocked doors in at least 116 degree weather on Friday. It was fantastic. ; ) Also, some of the Sisters in our zone walked past a tree as it spontaneously combusted (I'm serious; the tree literally started burning and they had to help put it out. Somebody called the fire department and everything), and some Elder's sent us a picture that their car showed the temperature being 136 degrees. Obviously it wasn't entirely accurate, but I think their caption, Dante's Inferno, fit rather well.
Also, if everyone could please pray for our investigator named Jason, we would really appreciate it. He's having some serious struggles with the Word of Wisdom, and we just want to help him.
I hope everybody has a super great week!

Love,
Sister Garfield

Dante's Inferno. Obviously the car's thermometer is a little off though. ; )

You Know You're a Missionary When

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...
