Hear Him

I love Jesus!! 


This week was transfers and I said goodbye to sister doxey. In missionary lingo "she died". I learned so much with her and so it was sad to see her go. Even so, in her last two weeks here, we saw SO many miracles! My new compi is Hermana Acabal Gomez and she is AMAZING! I love her so much.


I learned a lot about relying on the Spirit. There are so many promises that come as we heed the still small voice. We can be a powerful instrument in the Lord's hands. There is a scripture in Jacob 4:13 that teaches


"The spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not.

Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly FOR the salvation of our souls".


This week He spoke to me and those we teach the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.


Some cool moments

☆ our friend marielba has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday and has felt a difference in her life. She prayed to know that it was true and felt a confirming witness!


☆ our friend alexander was able to come to church this Sunday! When we taught him earlier that week, his sister who is a recent convert shared a powerful testimony of how she has felt a difference partaking of the sacrament 


☆ I got to watch my miracle friend Lety be baptized this saturday over zoom!! She was here on vacation when we met her and has been being taught by some elders in Mexico since. My joy was FULL!!! As I was able to say hi. She told me after she felt maravillosa 😊😊


☆ it's been 107 here. We have no AC... our butter melted 🫥


This week as I have been tuning into the voice of the spirit and learning how I Hear Him everything has changed! I feel more peace, joy, and guidance each day. I invite you all to ponder how you Hear Him. As you focus on listening to His voice, you will see miracles ✨️ 


Les quiero 


Hermana Gardner 💛

  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...
