Hermana Gardner: 11/16/22

 This week I hit 5 months into the mission!! It was a week of reflection and it helped me realize how far I've come and also how I can re-evaluate and align my will more with God's. I've been learning a lot about humility and being 100% responsible for how you use your agency so that you can access Christ's grace and appreciate his mercy just as fully. 

Some highlights:

  • ☆ got to go to the temple this pday!!!! It was amazing as always
  • ☆ a member from one of the English wards invited his neighbor to have us bless his house and we ended up sharing a message as well and giving him a book of Mormon! He loved it and is so excited to read!
  • ☆ it was the primary program this Sunday! The spanish and English ward primaries are combined so it was a bilingual program and the kids were so cute and the spirit so strong!
  • ☆ God provided us with so much free food this weekend haha, it was amazing and I was stuffed!
  • ☆ met with our friend isabel and her son and he played his trumpet for us, it was so precious! 
  • ☆ got to do exchanges with sister Bullock and spend some time in Woodhaven!! 


Love you all!! Have a wonderful, gratitude filled week, God is so good!!!


Also, anyone who wants to learn more about covenants read Mosiah 5!!

  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...
