Hello everyone. I hope that you are had a wonderful week!

Our week was good and busy. But I just want to tell you all the highlights of the week. 

First Glenda and Abe came to church yesterday!! It's so exciting when people take that step and come closer to Christ. It is an act of faith and it shows that they really are wanting to make a change in their life and come closer to their Savior. 

Second, we contacted 3 referrals this week. One of them was not a fun experience. I only managed to say hello before she looked at our name tags and said something in fast angry French and shut the door. The other 2 were much better. Sabrina wasn't interested but she let us in her house (miracle because people don't usually let us in) and she gave us some water. The other Jean accepted the Book of Mormon and told us we could come back next week. 

Third while we were contacting Sabrina we had time to knock on one more door before we went home. So we went to the house we felt prompted to go to and there we met Sade and she speaks English. She let us in her house too. We told the Restoration in about a minute and asked if she wanted to know more. She said yes and to come back next week because she was leaving that night to go on vacation. 

Last we went to the temple! My session was even in English, which was nice. I love the temple. I love the peace it brings to my life. I'm so grateful that I have a temple I can go to while I am on my mission. Not every missionary has that opportunity to go. I challenge you that if you haven't been to the temple for a long time GO. If you have recently gone GO AGAIN. The temple will bring so many blessings to you and your life! 

Have a wonderful week everyone! Sister Gardner
