So I'll start off with transfers, Elder J is heading back to
Wanica where he started his mission. He is excited. As am I for him. He is a
great missionary and it has been such a pleasure to serve with him. Elder
G went home yesterday we were up till 6 in the morning driving him to the
airport. He was a great missionary and a blessing and example in my life. I
will be staying in Kwatta. I am still the ZL and I will be training the new ZL, Elder N. He has been out for about 8 months. He is a great kid and I am
excited to serve with him.
The Mason discovery is going well. I have
learned so much this week. Things that I like, things that I love and things
that I need to do better. I am so thankful for the spirit and what he has
taught me. But as you said looking back I have learned so much and have been
able to sanctify many things in my life and become a better person. A more
faithful Latter-day Saint, priesthood holder and a truer disciple of Jesus
Christ.
I want to share an experience with you that took place yesterday in priesthood meeting. R is our most recent convert. He is 13 years old and was ordained to the office of deacon yesterday afternoon. But how it took place was truly a miracle. As we have taught R and his mother the entire family has become more active. They have felt the spirit and have seen so much change. R asked his grandfather to ordain him, but his grandpa has many physical limitations that do not allow him to stand for walk for long periods of time. But he was determined to help his grandson. So as we practiced the words together, we came to the conclusion that i would support some of his body weight, so that he could stand long enough to give the blessing. And as we stood in a circle around this young boy, our right hands on his head, and my left around his waist, we began to speak. And as the words became to come, he began to cry. As he sobbed with his hands upon his grandsons head, i felt the spirit of the Lord so strongly. It was truly a special experience that I will remember all of my life.......
Life is great!! I am looking forward to the miracles to come!!
Love,
Elder Garcia
