Elder James Gardner: 2/3/25

 

Last week in central Auckland?

Kia ora te whanau

im writing this right before bed on p day lol sorry its gonna be short. Heres sum highlights 

- exhanges with elder cooper b4 he went up to the cooks. One last run w him was pretty good. We saw some miracles. One was that I stopped at newly built houses and i said that the holy ghost was telling me we need to knock em (said that as a joke mostly) . The first door were members that cooper met the day before, that was crazy. They had just moved in. The other door was sum1 who moved in and said come back later. We came back a week later and he was super keen on the temple and we got a return appt so that was clutch

- got a sick monopoly tie from sunny at english class that night and cooper and i ran some pickleball. He said he won both games but i swear i won the first one. Maybe im in denial

- blitz for the sisters area was decent

- another exchange across zones cuz elder yapi went to the doctors with another elder out west so we just did a little day exchange. Got to do heaps of yardwork with the zone over there which was fun

- some more service with our ward and i got some stuff in my left eye. I spent 2 hrs trying to get it out and eventually my prayers were answered and i can still see clearly

- phillipino bible study goes hard 💥

- 45 min talk about hinduism with this lady and i still left without a Gita :(

- we got sister Allen to lead our district scripture study tonight 👏

Good week overall. We find out transfer news soon. Ive been here 6 months and pretty positive ill leave. I even already warned the ward lol. But who knows. Maybe the lord will need me to stay in maungakiekie a little longer. 

Arohanui, 

E Gardner
