It was a great week this week.
We were very busy, on wednesday we had to go to Belize City to work on my
immigration papers with an agent from the church. My papers are all good and
I'll be ok to stay here legally in Belize but some others had some problems
with getting a work permit so hopefully they don't get thrown into jail! That
actually happened to one missionary before but hopefully they avoid it.
On Thursday we had a zone
conference that was held here in my area of Orange Walk. That was nice because
we didn't have to travel too much.
ON Friday it was my birthday,
the day was very normal but at night we had a little party at a mexican
restaurant by our house. The owners of the restaurant knew it was my birthday
so they surprised me with a cake and they made me wear the hat and I got sung
some mariachi song that all of the missionaries knew in my district but I
didn't know. It was fun and it was a pineapple cake so it tasted good,
everybody at the place got a kick out of watching me so that was good. They
also pushed my face into the cake so that was fun, but everyone still ate it I
just got my face all sticky.
On Sunday we had a baptism of
Victoria, I knocked on her door almost a month ago immediately after arriving
here in Belize. so it has been very cool to see how the gospel has changed her
life, her baptism was a cool event. After the baptism, she shared her testimony
with everyone how she feels like she "has come home" and that
"this has made her happy" so that was great for me to see. It makes
it all worth it to be here in the mission when you can see how much it can mean
to people ot come to Christ.
On Monday we visited some Mayan
ruins called Lamanai, it was a great boat ride and I had a fun time seeing
those sites. I took some good pictures and my companion wore some hideous
pants, haha, everyone got a kick out of that.
With best regards to all,
Elder Gardner
