Dear Family & Friends,
We had a new missionary meeting on
Tuesday with the Mission President. It was awesome!! They talked to us about
being better at planning and how to better prepare ourselves for the day. We
also talked about the Atonement and how to best use it in our teaching. I
learned so much.
I am finally starting to get to know
everyone and people are getting more comfortable with me. It is nice to kind of
be able to get to know them and show my personality a little bit more. I have
met so many nice people here. It's awesome!
Umm last week we started talking to
this guy named Jorge. He has had a rough life. He has been a member his entire
life but fell away when he was 11 because he got into gangs and drugs. He
actually was a gang leader here in Lodi! But just a while ago his wife left him
and he spent time in jail. He came
to church two weeks ago and came and talked to us. He wants to turn his life
around and knows this is his last chance. He has tried going to other churches
in his life and has never felt the same in any church but ours. He is such a
cool guy we have visited him and he is going to turn his life around. We know
it!
The gospel of Jesus Christ blesses
families so much!! It helps strengthen relationships and gives us guidance in
our everyday trials. I know that the message I am sharing with people will
change their lives if they choose to accept and live it. I love the work we are
doing out here.
That's about it for this week. I have
a lot more, but no time to type it all out.
Love you all!!! Thanks for the love
and support!
Elder Gammell
