The Lord's Priesthood

Hello!

Last week has been another wonderful opportunity to utilize the Lord's priesthood, we gave quite a few blessings this week. The Lord has been trying to teach the true and simple power of the sacerdocio this transfer. We were called by a member to give a blessing to her friend who was about to do the police tryouts. It was a miracle. As well, Elder Calderon and I have been struggling in our attempts to contact a recent convert L. We were at the end of the night, too late to knock doors, I simply looked at my companion and asked, what is the spirit telling you right now? Where do we go? I followed him for about a block, until, he went to approach a man just outside of a discoteca, and just at that moment, popped out L and her Daughter... I had called her and sent her a message only 2 minutes before elder Calderon found her. Whaaaa! Who needs whatsapp when you have the spirit:)

You cant escape us:) jaja.

Elder Calderon is the most humble and obedient companion I have had. You can't have an argument with him, its physically impossible. He is too full of love and gratitude. I really pray that I can finish my training time with him president. He's like the brother I have never had. I love him.

We had zone conference which was for the combined zones of Cartegena and Elche. Massive group. Presidente Galli is doing a big push to contact the youth here. So contacting has been really fun, we've been talking to skaters, parcoureres, and video gamers. A fair amount of googlie eyed Españolas. (Elder Calderon takes their breath away...) its been a different approach, but we like the challenge, it requires creativity.

I saw Elder Bown for the last time before he passes to the other side. That man has the divine gift of demanding and calling to the very depths of my soul to work and improve. I love him. He knows just what to say to help me get over myself and get to work. Its an incredible gift. I will miss him.

Bwaah, please everyone just devour conference, listen to the messages, make goals and plans. Wow, try to listen to one talk a day. I promise you will feel the spirit more abundantly in your life and day.

Some fire quotes from my boy David:

(Speaking to missionaries) "This is not a sacrifice, this is who you are."

"Learning is the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ."

Love Elder Gardner
