Texas week 8



You know where you're in Ponder Texas when you go to follow-up with a referral and you find dozens of peacocks!

There were also a ton of homes with tiny, fenced in front yards with horses just chilling. It's the strangest thing. Crazy small towns in Texas. I love it!

Some miracles this week!

We taught G and it was so great! He was in such a good mood and was so open! He has never been like that! We showed him a video that had 3 parts and at the end he asked us where he could find the other 2 parts! He is seeking more knowledge! It's awesome!

We got in contact with C! We read the Book of Mormon with her and her 12 year old daughter and her daughter got so into it! It was incredible!! 

We also met a new investigator named M! She is the sweetest! She is so open to learning and experiene the church! She wants to read the Book of Mormon and to learn how to pray and be grateful. It's super great! 

I love all the people we're working with! We reconected with C (her phone broke), we've got lots of new people that are interested in learning, our Book of Mormon study is growing! It's exciting times!

One more story!
During our Book of Mormon study, a member brought in a person we had never seen before. This girl was so excited to see us and called us by name and immediately hugged us. It was strange and we later found out she moved and was looking for sister missionaries because she was meeting them before. She was very friendly and we'll probably start teaching them soon!

Missionary work is so cool and everyone can be involved! Social media is the perfect way to share goodness! I encourage everyone to share something positive on social media this week! Share good positive things!

I love you all! I will talk to you again next week! I love this gospel and being able to share it! 

Love Sister Emma Joi Gardner❤

 I love seeing where she lives! These next two pictures are from Emma's ward mission leader's wife. She is so good to these sisters. It brings me such comfort to know they have her to love and care for them. Thank you soooo much for the package!! I love you so much and I love your handmedowns;) You guys are seriously the best. They all work really well! This morning our fridge stopped working but on the bright side we get a new fridge!! That's why I'm writing a little late this week. Dad, I love that Hazel still plays fetch with you!! That is the cutest! I hope that you will get an answer to move soon! Keep me posted. You could come out and visit Flower Mound or Highland Village, they're out of my area and still close. They seem like really nice. I was there for Zone Conference and I think mom could like them. Your allergies may die out here though, fair warning. I love you too Andrew! Your cake was awesome and I love the Dod

Hello everyone! This week continues to have it's changes!   As I'm sure you read, I found out Thursday that I'm training! Sister Kioa and Sister Wilcox are going back to the 4th and 5th wards and I'll stay here in 1st and 3rd! She comes here tonight! All I know about her is that her name is Sister Budge so that will be exciting! It's really intimidating but this is what God needs me to do so I'll do it!    Another super exciting thing! Hillary and Chris had their baptism and it was so beautiful. I'm so happy for them and they are so happy as well. Afterward she said that she felt so clean, like renewed and that exactly what baptism does. They have already talked about attending the temple and they have gotten started on on doing some family history so they can take their own names to the temple! They are awesome!   Here's another miracle. So last Monday evening we get a text from a former investigator out of t

Texas week 9

Hello y'all!  Texas is so fantastic, there is never a dull moment. We definitely had some really funny moments this week!  Last Monday, we went to go see a new investigator. She was super sweet and offered us dinner. She mentioned that it was minudo or the stomach of a cow. The wise words of one of my friends came into my head telling me, "never eat it! It is disgusting!" We had already eaten dinner however curiosity for the better of me and I decided I had to try it. So I told our investigator to give me just a little because we had already eaten. She came back with a whole bowl! It honestly wasn't terrible, just very chewy. Sister Park had some too and afterward asked me what we had just eaten. I told her and she seemed so stunned. Our investigator totally told us before but she missed that memo and was dying! It was soooo funny laughing all the way home about it! Wednesday night Sister Park and I were talking and we bet that she will
