Time for Round2!!

Amanda Gardner <amanda.gardner@missionary.org>

1st transfer down!!! Wow it's gone fast!! This week was absolutely crazy, but super amazing!! We met a bunch of new friends that we were lead to by God! It's the most amazing thing to be an instrument in his hand!! Tomorrow is transfers, but luckily I don't have to worry about that because Sister Olson and I are still together here in the Hood. There are so many people we are teaching and helping its hard to keep up, but it's crazy to see how Christ can make up the difference when you think like you can't do it anymore!


Some highlights

- got bit by a dog jaja, don't worry it was really small

- sacrament testimony meeting was AMAZING 

- had interviews with President and Sister Haymond and President haymond answered a bunch of my questions and gave me such great advice!!! 

- no bake cookies with the roomies when we all learned we were staying together for another transfer!

- translated sacrament meeting from Spanish to English!! The gift of tongues is real!!

- pday blackberry picking!!


Love you all! One scripture that I want to leave you guys with is 3 Nephi 11 and Jesus says,


"Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me."


The gospel is so simple! All you have to do is turn to Christ and accept His healing power through His atonement!! We can only do so much as missionaries, in the end it is up to every individual to accept Christ in their lives and act on their faith. So please, act on your faith!! Believe in Christ, come unto him, he is just waiting for you with open arms.


Love you guys!!!!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
