Well family, another week gone.
They go by so fast nowadays... :S
Mom - Well... it's been an
interesting first week as AP, but I'm sure it'll start to feel more normal soon
haha… Anyway, it's been fun, and Elder Mello is great. But I'm glad you have
been having fun in Yellowstone! It looks like it's a good time of the year to
go, so I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves up there. :)
Dad - Well I'm glad the garden is
doing well! Honestly I didn't realize how great of a blessing that really is to
have a garden, and one of my goals for when I get home will be to help out with
that more, and then to have my own once I can. I need to stay busy though, with
whatever I can. That's pretty much the main goal for me I think.

Anyway, before I write anything
else, I do want to clarify that the rules for email have changed, and it's a
lot more open now to family and friends, so pretty much anyone can email me now
if they want. :)
But yeah, so it was a pretty good
week. Kind of weird just because we had training meetings all over the island
on Wednesday and Thursday, and all the missionaries that I've known for a while
were all asking me what it's like and how it's been since I got the assignment
and stuff, and it was just kind of weird. But the meetings went really well and
I liked them a lot!
We're also having a great time
teaching our investigators. There's a guy getting baptized this weekend, and
he's really cool! There's also this other lady who is going to get baptized on
Sunday, and they're both progressing super well and they're pretty ready I
think. :) But one of the best pieces of news I heard came from Guayanilla.
Elder Hammer, my trainer, is finishing out his mission and training a new
missionary down there for his last transfer, and he told me about one of the
people that I had taught there... he's now the EQP!!! :) I was SO happy to hear
that. :)
But yeah, so other than that, not
too much going on in the life of Elder Gardner. Hopefully we'll be trading out
our Corolla this week for a new Chevy Cruze! (It's crazy how much things are
changing since the Hastening the Work of Salvation Broadcast.) All missions are
now going to use the Chevy Cruze. Also,
the iPads are going to be coming out soon. President has ours and is
configuring it right now, so we'll get it soon I think. Anyway, I love you all
so much, and it's always great to hear from you. :) No pics this week because
of the computer, but I'll try next week! :) Anyway, love you all so much!!!
With love,
