I logged onto thinking I would go in and add some images onto Elder Garcia's blog that he has uploaded but when I clicked on the Google Photo thing it said that Sister Garcia had added to hers. I wasn't sure what I thought I would see but when I saw this, man, my heart nearly burst into pieces!

With so many ups and downs, so many roller coaster side swipes, Helmer has publicly gone out on the internet web and on the Facebook to declare just how grateful he is for these two sweet missionaries! I cannot even imagine what Sister Garcia and Sister Parrish must have felt when they saw it!! 

When I spoke with Sister Garcia on Monday she let me know that Helmer is on schedule to be baptized this month. This is still such a massive part of my prayers day in and day out. This is the first friend that Sister Garcia has found and worked with start to finish. This would be a tender mercy, a lily moment, for her as a missionary and I pray that Helmer continues to his part, the missionaries continue to do their part, and the Lord Himself will also continue to do what He needs to do in order to ready this young man to enter those waters. 

What a happy happy Wednesday! I love you for forever, 

Mom

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

Week 1 Email: I have a new Mom

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
