Elder Garlock is doing great in Sacramento. He was just recently transferred (one ward over, same district), his new companion is the Elder on the far right. I don't know what the "Forgotten District 08" means? Any guesses? From his last letter here are a few questions he answered:Q. Who are you teaching?
A. Currently we have this great family of 5 who looks promising. We also have gotten a few referrals that we are excited about.
Q. What is your favorite lesson to teach?
A. I love the lesson we teach after the Restoration. It is about the blessing of church and such. It gets them excited and prepared to come to church.
Q. What is your favorite scripture this week?
A. Romans 4:16
Q. What has the spirit taught you this week?
A. I was reading in Romans 2:19 and reflecting on the concept of light. I thought of my patriarchal blessing that said, "I am to go forth and be a shining light". I reflected on my mission and life and saw how that has been and the way God has prepared me.
Q. How did you grow spiritual from being sick?
A. While I was sick 3 people were baptized in the wards we were working with. It surly wasn't from my companion, and me since I was in bed coughing up mucus. It taught me that I can't do it without God, but he can do it without me.
He also shared a sweet experience he had with a part member family who they started teaching the little girl to preparing her for baptism. Soon, the whole family was being taught. The father is now preparing to be baptized and receive the priesthood so he can baptize his little girl on March 22nd.

My guess is the Forgotten ditrict 08' means that nobody cares about the district because it is so far out in the boonies and the 08' means in the year 2008
So great to hear about how Tyler is doing! Thanks for keeping us updated~
