WEEK 97

Well this week has been wonderful! Elder Orellana and I have been working SO HARD! I think that this might be one of the best transfers of my mish! We are seeing so much success here and we have big plans for this month! I only have 7 weeks left and my comp is not going to let me up. He is such a great missionary and he is so spiritual! Something super funny happened this week. We were doing contacting to find some new families and so we stop by this ladies house and ask her how she is doing and she was so excited we passed. She had a stroller with a baby inside. She was an older lady so we asked her if it was her grandson and she said yes. I asked her what the name of it was and she said ¨Jose Smir¨ I was laughing so hard. I asked her to repeat it and again she said ¨Jose Smir¨ I asked her if she was a member and she said no. Haha instead of Joseph Smith, in Spanish we say Jose Smith. I asked her how she found that name and she said ¨I just liked it a lot and everyone judges me for it¨ Haha we ended up teaching her and the mom of the baby and now we have a family that is progressing! It was pretty great! I hope all is well and I cant wait to be with you all again! I hope you all have a great week! Talk to you soon! I love you all! Elder Garfield

WEEK 96

This week is called ¨The last go¨ Well its pretty crazy not only to see Elder Day head out but for me to go into my last transfer. I am so grateful for the last 16 I have spent here in the mission and I am so excited to see what the 17th has to offer! I am now comps with Elder Orellana from El Salvador! He only has 10 months in the mission and this kid is a beast. This last transfer looks promising. We are hoping to put a couple baptismal dates for June and July so I can get my baptismal clothes a little wet before I head out! I am truly grateful for the mission. It has blessed me so much and I know the Lord is blessing me in so many ways! Thanks for all your love and support and I hope all is well back home! Cant wait to see everyone in just a couple of weeks! Talk to you soon! Elder Garfield

WEEK 95

My weekly letter is called "Sister sister" Well this last week Elder Day and I were able to baptize Yuneiry. It was so awesome. She is hilarious and so ready for the gospel! She has really changed from this gospel and we are so proud of her for making this decision! This is the 2nd sister we have baptized (Yeilin and Jennifer, Esmeralda and Yuneiry) and they are now some of the the strongest members in the ward. This will be the last week of the mission for Elder Day. Its so crazy that we were sent to be comps and now he is heading home! I know he will do great things in his life. He has taught me a lot and has really had a great mission. Even if we fought like brothers, he will always be my bro. This next Wednesday, I will be on my last comp and my last transfer. So crazy how fast the mission has flown by. I am so grateful for what the mission has done for me. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and how he has blessed me in these 2 years. Its been so amazing to see how much a mission doesn't only bless the missionary who serves it, but blesses everyone who that missionary comes in contact with. I love my mission. I am so glad to be here! Thanks for all the love and support! Have a great week! I love you all! Elder Garfield

WEEK 94

Okay this weekly letter is called ¨Pelota¨ Today was a pretty great day! We played baseball with a couple of missionaries and even though we lost, we played pretty well for not having any type of sport training in the last 2 years!! Well this week has been a blast. We have been working super hard here in 100 Fuegos and it seems like we are seeing the fruits of our labors. This Saturday, we will be baptizing Yuneiry, Esmeralda´s (the girl who got baptized 2 weeks ago) sister. They are both so awesome and we have seen that they have changed their life so much. It seems like Elder Day and I are good at completing families since ALL of our baptisms here have been an almost completion of 4 families since many of our baptisms already have members in their family. Elder Day has 2 weeks left until he leaves and I am super nervous because that means my time is coming to an end too. I am nervous to see who my last comp will be. I will have 9 months in 2 of my areas (Torre Alta, 100 Fuegos) 1 area that I spent 6 weeks in (Cotui) and 1 area that I spent almost 5 months (San Francisco). I have truly enjoyed my mission and it has been such a great blessing in my life! I see everyday that the Lord has blessed me so much! I know I still have alot to do but I am doing my best to become better everyday and finish my mission having the Lord proud with what I have done with HIS 2 YEARS. I will be skyping my family for the LAST TIME this Sunday and I cannot wait to see them! I love you and miss you so much! Elder Garfield
