Love, Elder Gardner
Hey Dad Thanks
for writing, sounds crazy as always. It was a pretty boring a sad birthday for
me, mainly cause I was missing everyone. A family in a different area
came and threw a little party for me so that was fun, but really about it, for
celebrating. This week a less active family that we found is making dinner for
me too, cool that we found them because no one from the church has visited them in 6 years! but they loved the missionaries then and
still do now haha. our mission president knows that our bishop has lots of
problems, and so does the stake president. this ward is super weird to work in,
most of the ward is inactive because of something the Bishop has sad or done
to them. super weird, this area used to be 2 areas but the attendance to church dropped
so low that now its only 1 big area for us. It is a challenge but hopefully I only
have maybe 10 more weeks here or so. oh so we had the world wide training
missionary broadcast and they changed a few things. now we only have 4 key
indicators, new investigators, inv.with a bap, date, inv, bap and con,
and invs in sacrament meeting. they also changed our daily schedule a
bit which is good. I've been having some anxiety during planning and when
our visits fall short and we don't know what to do. It's hard but I'm just trying
to work on one thing at a time now and I know the Lord will help me. love you
dad and miss you
hey mom love you.
another hard week and a hard birthday but its ok. I know that Sis Carlisle is
watching your facebook cause President mentioned some things to me about
it haha. Sounds crazy as always at the house! love you and miss you all
