"Sunshine in the storm"
Considering P-day was on Wednesday last week, I really don't have much to say.
This week has been a real test for Sister Tritt. She is learning lots and its been
really hard for her. I'm grateful to be her companion to help her through her
trials and give her hope for the future. :)
This week I've gained a testimony of the power of the priesthood. I love
it. I never want to be without it. I can't imagine living without it. This week
I got sick (yes, again.) I don't understand my sickness exactly, but its very
annoying. I haven't been able to eat for about a week because I feel nauseous
all the time. So, it's been really unfortunate. But we had a dinner appointment one evening I wasn't sure I could make it through AND Sister Tritt really needed a
blessing. So we called up some of our favorite elders and they drove to our
apartment from Spokane Valley. (30 minute drive) We both got blessings reassuring us
that all would be well. We had questions answered that the elders didn't even
know we had. Every time I receive a priesthood blessing, I am so impressed with how well these righteous men can listen to the spirit and trust in the things they need to
say. Being away from home and not having my dad around has made me realize how
blessed I am to be around so many worthy priesthood holders who honor their
promises with Heavenly Father.
I'm so blessed to be companions with Baby T (Sis Tritt's nickname). She and I have been placed
together for a reason. We both know we are going to go through a lot of hard
things this transfer and we are ready to take on this adventure. We can't wait
to see what lessons we can learn and how Heavenly Father is watching over
us.
For the record. Be grateful for the sun. I haven't seen the sun in 2 weeks.
I think we're depressed. haha.
In my blessing, I was told that I have been a light of sunshine to those around me and
that even when things get gray that there is always sunshine if I look for it. I
was promised that I would be fully healed. No questions asked.
And congrats to Jeff and Carolyn!( Jeff and Carolyn are Jordan's uncle and aunt on the Esperson side of the family). I'm so excited for the two of you to get
sealed! I'm so proud of both of you and the choices you made to get there. I
love you and I wish I could be there with you. Enjoy it and tell me all about
it. :)
I love all of you. Enjoy the sunshine and the warmth. I miss summer.
All my love,
Sister Gardanier
The pictures below are from a "fiesta in a box" we mailed her marking her half way point on her mission. In our letter to her, we asked her if there are any beans and tortillas left. She commented that she is "rationing" out the beans and tortillas so they will last longer... that makes me giggle!
Tortillas from Carolina's!!
Homemade refried beans!!
It's fiesta time!!
I hope this isn't the newest investigator....
