Hermana Gardner: 7/3/23

Hola hola 👋🩷


The Christlike attribute I've been learning about recently is integrity! Being true to God at ALL times and in ALL things and in ALL places. 


Yesterday we had a devotional where one of our mission president's dear friends Elder and Sister Ahadjie (former mission presidents in Nigeria). They are such powerful witnesses of Jesus Christ and His Gospel! Elder Ahadjie shared some scriptures in D&C about how God is all knowing and all powerful, yet we try to make "secret chambers" and hide. By doing so distance ourselves from Him. It is in these moments that the adversary can sneak in. I can't accurately described what I learned haha, but I hope the spirit is teaching you all something!


So my question for you all is - what are your secret chambers?


How do you avoid them?


It was something good to ponder about. Other than the devotional, this week was amazing!! We met a lot of new friends who have such a strong desire to learn about and follow Jesus Christ even in their difficult circumstances. 


One of these friends we met because of some funny circumstances. We were in our car making a call and these kids playing soccer outside kept hitting our car accidentally. As we were leaving the car a man driving by rolled down his window and told us that he had gotten video footage of the kids to report it if we would like! We told him it was okay, but then proceeded to talk more and set up a time to meet! He is super cool and has been looking for truth. God works in mysterious ways! 


I love you all so much. Keep on going and doing your best each day

  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...
