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...

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 ...
