Sister Gardner is in the MTC!

When we go home there was already an email from Emma waiting for us!!!


I'm here! I mean, you dropped me off so you know that but I am here and I met my teacher and a few girls in my district! I met my companion super briefly but she seems super nice! There is also a girl from Pleasant Grove here! She graduated a year after me but she looked familiar so I asked! What a small world?

My P-day's are Thursdays so the next time I can email will be a little over a week! I'll try and write a letter when I get more info.

They are so quick here, before I knew it, I was claiming a bed and being sent off to a classroom. They had us fill out an assessment and now they are having us write before we go start learning. 

The host that picked me up is on the same floor as me so I can ask her questions if I need! 

This is gonna be good! I'm excited! I'll be sure to give you more detail later. 

I also may have teared up a bit as I was walking away. I love you guys so much and I'll miss you.
This is already feeling comfortable even though its been less than an hour. I will talk to you next Thursday! Enjoy California!!

 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...

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 ...

Texas week 10

This week was incredible, oh man! Miracles beyond miracles have happened every day those week! I honestly don't even know where to begin! We'll start last Monday evening. It was memorial day and one of our members invited us over for barbeque! We had some incredible ribs and a really fun time. Before we went back into Denton to go home for the night, we decided to stop at an old investigators home. It had been over a year since the missionaries contacted her! She actually answered the door and we had an incredible conversation and she wants to learn about family history! It's crazy how close we were to leaving and just going back for the night but we didn't and we get to help this person work on her family history!  We found a translator for S! One of our members brought S to our Book of Mormon study and she fell in love with her sweet heart! I mean, who couldn't? She was determined to find her a translator. The next morning she ...
