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

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...

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 wor...

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 ...
