Day 7

1 WEEK!

 

It's actually gone by quite quickly! I hope that you guys are doing great! Today was so-so but better than most days! I still miss you all and I know that won't change so be sure to send letters and please keep sending prayers! I love you guys so much! Well today... me and Elder E woke up at 6:15 and we got showered and ready as usual. (It's becoming a routine already!) I started off my day by eating breakfast then recieving your snack package! I loved it! Thanks so much! I am in candy heaven here! We had class right after breakfast where we prepared our lesson that we were going to teach our investigator! We taught him about how The Scriptures contain Prophets who guide us! The Lesson went maso-menos (so-so or/ more or less) He asked about Joseph Smith and the best way I could answer him was he was an elect man of God and he had faith in God (let me remind you this was in Spanish!) I improve everyday with my Spanish! I have been hoping all day that I would get called to the traveling office to find out if we were leaving soon but nothing happened. Anyways, after our lesson, I got another package from Pam & Mike Smith (tell them thanks!) It was a box of Krispy Kreme dougnuts (muy delicioso) but please, I am good with food right now! Please continue to send packages if you want because they make me so happy to recieve them! We then went to our Tuesday Night Devotional (sorry, spanish ruins my spelling) We had all the missionaries from the west MTC and the main MTC in the Marriot Center! It was awesome! The topic was on how we need to be close to our companion (easier said then done...) and how e need to work until our time is done. I loved it! All I thought about wasw you guys and my Dominican people and how I'm so torn between missing home and so excited to finally get to serve! I email on Thursday and can't wait to talk to you guys! I love you so much! Love Elder Garfield

(p.s I've sent 3 letters before this one and I want to know if you've received them. Please Dear Elder me if you have recieved my past 3 letters! Plus, tell people to email me on MYLDSMAIL ONLY!! I need email adresses! I love you guys so much and I miss you! Talk to you soon!)
