WEEK 88

Haha yeah! This week is called ¨Elder Martinez¨ Well this week was quite wonderful! I have really enjoyed the mission and I know it only gets better! This week Elder Martinez from the 70 came to talk to the mission and I was lucky enough to hear him give 3 great talks. He is a true witness of Christ. Every time he talked I felt his spirit. He has an awesome conversion story and I really enjoyed his view on what we should be doing as missionaries. That makes 3 70s that I have met on my mish. Also, this Saturday we have a baptism planned! Jennifer, The sister of Yeilin, my recent convert, is planning on getting baptized. I am so proud of the changes she has made in her life and I am so glad she is going to make this decision! I have thought a lot about my plans for after the mission (I'm not trunky, no worries!) and I don't feel like that its true my mish is coming to an end. I really love my mission and I have received so many blessings from it! I love and miss you all! Have a great week! Elder Garfield

WEEK 87

This weekly letter is called ¨You just don't understand me¨ Welp, this week was for sure a success. Even after getting a little sick and having to leave a little late one day, we still killed the mission game and taught the most amount of lessons in our zone. We truly run this game! We got a new baptismal date set up for the 18th of April but I will have to come back to see it... Yup I might be leaving my humble abode here in Cien Fuegos to venture to a new land in 3 weeks. I do not know where I will be sent but I hope its San Fran or Puerto Plata. Those are the 2 places where I learned the most and shed the most tears... just kidding I don't cry... just kidding, I do. But not a lot.... WE also have a baptism the 28th of March. Jenifer, The sister of Yeilin (my recent convert here) plans on getting baptized. We are super excited for the upcoming baptisms and success we will see very soon! I am so grateful for the mission and I know I was sent here for SO MANY REASONS. I know that this church is true. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us all and wants us to be happy! I love you and miss you all! Have a great week! Elder Garfield

WEEK 86

This week is called ¨Mission Santiago´s Most Wanted¨ So this week has been fantastic! We worked super hard and we have seen the blessings from our work. This last Sunday we got told we have the best numbers as a companionship in the mission. Yeah, that's what I call killin the game. I have not worked this hard my whole mission but I know this is how the Lord wants missionaries to work. Elder Day and I are loving our time together. We are not sure what next transfer will have in store for us! I am hoping that we stay together. This week we have worked a ton with our investigators and we are hoping to get a baptism this month and maybe 2 families next month! We are also working with our recent converts and they are as strong as ever! We have had some problems with the area but we are getting things solved. I really cant believe how fast time is flying by. I really have learned so much in these last couple of months and it hurts to think that it will come to an end. I know the Lord will bless me for the sacrifices I have made in my life and the work I have done. Thanks for all the love and support! I love and miss you all! Elder Garfield

WEEK 85

This weekly letter is called ¨Were the best and we´re better than the rest!¨ Well this week has been fantastic! I didn't end up going to the temple like I planned so I will be waiting for the next time San Francisco goes to the temple! Cien Fuegos is going great! I really enjoy the ward and the people love Elder Day and I! We have been seeing so much success in our area and we are hoping to see so much more! We have plans to baptize a family either at the end of this month or the start of next month! I am so excited to see this fam get baptized! We have been looking for new families to teach and we have found a couple in which we hope end up making the baptismal covenant! Elder Day and I are loving our time together and we are seeing so many miracles! I think I will end up staying with him until he ends the mission so that's super exciting! I feel super old now because I have to shave everyday and sometimes I get heartburn. You can  really say that this mission has made me a man... A really young looking but old feeling one. I really love the mission and I am so happy to be here! I love you and miss you all! Have a great week! Elder Garfield
