Dear Family,
This past week was crazy. We had three different times where people fell asleep during our lesson. One of them was with a guy named Eddy. We saw him Thursday night. He had a headache and was tired. So for the lesson we decided to watch a movie. During the movie he started to doze off. I noticed so I started to fiddle with my scriptures and my backpack. but it was to far gone. So after a couple of minutes I turned off the movie. It kind of woke him up. Half awake he said "what happened" then I turned to him and started to talk. I said "OK Eddy we are going to stop right their in the movie, I want to talk a little bit about baptisms for the...." that's about as far as I could go. Because while I was talking his eye's started to roll back and then his head dropped back and he started to snore. I turned to Elder Oliver and he was trying not to laugh. Eddy woke up a few minutes later and we had a good laugh. Eddy's a good guy, he works on Sunday's. He would be baptized if he could get off work. Also this past week we have had some really powerful lessons. A few times I could tell that our investigators could feel the spirit. I hope they act on it. Spanish is coming little by little, it's hard to adapt to the Spanish culture when your doing English work. Elder Oliver is a great Elder, he's always in a great mood and wants to work. Warden is being blessed by our Heavenly Father. A lot of great things will happen.
Love Elder Garrett
