Hermana Gardner: 2/8/23

Hola hola everyone!

This week I have learned a lot about love. I've learned so much about the love that our Heavenly Father has for us. All of us individually.


In a BYU Devotional from President Nelson that we all listened to this week as a mission, he says

"More than anything, our Father wants His children to choose to return home to Him. Everything He does is motivated by His yearning desire. The entire reason we are on this earth is to qualify to live with Him forever."


This week I saw a lot of imperfect people trying their best to choose Him. I saw them, myself included messing up and making mistakes. Choosing to be selfish or disobedient, but I also saw that our Heavenly Father was always doing everything he could to bring them back. 

I saw Victor choose to return home to God through the ordinance and covenant of baptism. He was so sincere with his testimony and it was amazing to see the change that has been occurring in him. 

All in all, I'm so grateful I get to see and help others with moving forward on the covenant path. No matter where they are at, there is a place for each of them in God's kingdom as they choose Him and His Son. 

I love you all! I'm so proud of where you are on your own journey back to our Heavenly Father! I know it can be confusing, but as we keep our hope and our vision focused on Christ, we will be lead by his hand and by his grace. 


Love you all!! Have a great week 💕💕

  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...
