Texas Week 11-Blessed Week in Texas

 
 
 
Hellooooo friends! 

This week has gone by so fast! We have transfers this week and Sister Park is leaving😭 I will miss her but I'm excited to learn from someone else. I'm so blessed I get to stay here in Denton too! 

We also are moving.... again! On the day of transfers we get to move apartments. Apparently it's one of the nicest ones in the mission so that's pretty lit. So both Sister Park and I get to pack! We're back in the area which is a blessing for miles. We're getting hermanas in our zone so there's a big apartment swap happening. 

Ah this week has been really good. Sister Park and I have been laughing the whole time over the most random things. 

One of these occassions We had a new investigator at church. J (The one with the peacocks) was there! We had to leave our second hour class a little bit early to meet with our ward mission leader. As we were walking to our meeting, we see the back of a guy that looks like J. He's leaving the church building and so we chase after him yelling his name. He ended up staying for all three hours and went to sacrament meeting in the other ward! It was such a miracle that we were in the right place at the right time and that he was able to stay. He loved church so much too! He was laughing and just having such a good ole time. 

A and his family finally came to church too! They only stayed for sacrament meeting but they came! That's a miracle.

We have been working with H this week and she even mentioned needing to start saving for her baby's mission! That was such a miracle.

This week we also got to cook dinner for an investigator/part-memeber families. It was really fun! It was also super yummy as well! 

I love you all! The work is hastening and I'm so happy to be a part of it. 

With 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...

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 ...
