Hello everyone! I hope that you had a great week. This week was a great week for us! 

Monday night we had an awesome FHE with the Salvador Family and Gloria and Abel and their kids. The Salvador's planned it all. We talked about faith and how it is like a seed. For the activity we had a bounce house in the house for everyone to play in. :) So cool! 

Wednesday we watched the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast. This went to all the missions/missionaries in the world. It was really great. I don't have my notes or else I would share some things I learned from it. We also got a new investigator that day. We actually met Jeannette on Sunday but she became an investigator on Wednesday. 

The rest of the week was filled with teaching and finding people. Some of that finding is finding lost members of the ward. This makes me so sad. Sad that we don't know where they are and sad that they don't know who they really are and how much this Gospel can bless their lives. It's sad because at one time they knew. At one time they dressed all in white and where baptized and confirmed members of the church. On a happier note, we did find one and they are open to us coming back. 

Last night Sunday, was another night with a miracle. We have another new investigator. Christine has told us that she isn't looking to convert but she wants to know more and understand more about our church. We've met before. She came to a baptism a few weeks ago and the following Sunday we had tea at her house. On our way to Magog we called her and at first she was hesitant at letting us come. But I told her we had Banana Bread (I had just made it that afternoon) for her. When I said that she was ready for us to come. We will be seeing her again this Thursday and she is planning on coming to church on Sunday.  

All in all it was a great week and this once is shaping up to be busy! We are leaving for Quebec today for Zone Conference tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. It should be a great couple of days and coming week! 

Love you all and keep smiling! Sister Gardner
