Two Hands

I'm starting to get a little nervous because I can now count only on two hands how many months left until I return home...officially this time ;) 

To celebrate my 14 month mark, we met up with this Professional Pianist, Robert, at his church to talk and get to know each other personally (and share a quick thought!). As we were walking into his church he came around the corner and for some reason it scared me so badly and I jumped back so hard hahaha. He felt bad to scare me but I guess that is what happens after having another companionship drive us there who aren't the most...skilled drivers? Let’s just say we were very thankful to get our car back from State Inspections the next day!!!!

But Robert is not-even-funny talented on the piano. He went to Julliard and has been playing piano and writing songs and so many amazing things. He showed us something he has been doing and it's cool to learn from a professional! He was so gracious and nice to us. It was this cool "Ammon and King Lamoni" moment...Robert has a fractured foot and that has delayed our appointment the past few days, but instead of complaining, we sent him daily texts to check up on him and he thought that was the most sincere thing ever! He said to me, "You feel like an old friend to me!" So whatever the outcome that happens, I am happy that he was felt loved by me! That is my goal...CHARITY!

We are meeting with him again on Tuesday (this time at our church) and we will see how it goes there! He couldn't stop telling his other friend about my companion and I and how much he admires how the church has motivated a youthful group to share the gospel across the world! It's pretty amazing you could say!

Other than that...my comp and I had our car get a state inspection that took the whole day and that turned out to be our busiest day...good thing we took it to a place that was 30 mins away because the closest car shops have been 0 help! We had to mooch off the elders to chauffeur us around and sacrifice so much. Not gonna lie, I kinda loved it too much at the end of the day and wished our car could stay another day in the shop! I love me a good ol' chauffeur!!

Take care this week! Love you all

Elder Gardanier
