No Phone Call This Week :(

Sister Garcia had her Pday shuffle this week because she was given the opportunity to go and do an Endowment session at the Recife Temple! But because her day consisted of traveling to the temple, spending time in the temple, running to the airport to take care of Sister Bradbeer's documents that allow her to stay in Brazil, and then traveling back to her apartment, there wasn't really time for a phone call. And that is 100% ok. :) 

Words cannot adequately express how glad I am to know that this opportunity presented itself for her. When Sister Garcia took out her own Endowment the Covid-19 virus was running wild and so going to the temple wasn't an option. You will recall that it was just her, me, and Tyler who attended the temple that day. She didn't have an opportunity afterwards to attend again and to be able to do any other work so to have the chance to step foot back inside the temple and to be able to do it while on her mission? Yeah, totally rad. And the little bit of the Facebook messaging that we were able to do, Sister Garcia loved her time and she is on cloud 9. This is what this Gospel is all about. Happiness and holiness when being in the presence of the Lord Himself, inside the walls of His temple. 

Today was a great day. So happy for Sister Garcia. I love you kiddo. Keep up the good work.

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...

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...
