Hi Friends and Family!
I spent most of my preparation day preparing a flute/clarinet duet for an upcoming zone conference, so this email will be shorter than most, but know that things are going well!
We helped a lady named Sue stop using tobacco this week! Little things like this make me so grateful to be a missionary. We used the 15 step program I mentioned a couple months ago to help her, and as of last Thursday she is officially tobacco free!
This week has been saturated with service. We dug out a gardenia bush from our friend Terri's house, put up drywall at the Smith's, and fixed two broken pipes from an artesian well at a member's house.
With that being said, our teaching pool is growing quickly. We are currently teaching 11 people, and it is such a joy to see their progression. Even if they choose not to be baptized, I have hope that the principles we teach will help them be happier and feel more peace in their lives.
There are some fun stories from this week, but for the sake of time, I'll plan on sending them next week! Stay tuned!
I love you all, and I hope you have a wonderful week. For my friends at UCLA, I think this is finals week? If so, good luck and say your prayers! Actually say your prayers always!
Love,
Elder Garff
