Hello family and friends!
This week was another great week in the books! its weird to think that I'm almost done with one twenty fourth of my mission its crazy that the time goes by so fast! Some highlights this week was me and Best teaching our investigator. Best is a character, he is extremely pessimistic and is not someone to ¨see the light at the end of the tunnel¨ so I finally pulled him aside and we walked out the classroom and around the ccm and talked about his problems he said how some days he just doesn't want to try. I asked him how can I help and he said some things and so that night we prayed with everything we had for the spirit to be with us with Feliciano our investigator and BOOM! Easily the most spiritual lesson of our lives! He said how he wanted his kids to envy him like Nephi envied his dad Lehi. He said how sometimes he is not good to his kids and is doesn't think he is a good father. We all started crying!! We talked about the atonement in our lives and how change IS possible through the Lord and the process of repentance. We told him that Christ died on the cross for HIM and that Christ knew the needs and desires of Feliciano´s heart. It was great we are committing him to baptism tomorrow hopefully! He's a spiritual giant he has a ton of questions but when we answer them he completely understands. Definitely not us that are answering these questions:)
How is beautiful California?? Every day we can check weather around the world and that's the only type of news we get really haha but the forecast is always amazing! I hope T is loving school TJ is loving marriage and Mom and Dad are probably just writing us three brothers on the mission all day. Nooo just kidding from what Im told they are suddenly acting like the youthful 30 year olds you all once were ha ha I'm glad you are taking Tiara to places. The internet is down this morning but once the internet comes back on ill send this right away! Im writing on i document stuff, its convenient for right now!
Our district is so darn tight!!!! No one has gone home and that is a blessing to our zone, we have had 7 people go home in 4 weeks just in our zone. I never knew any of them but im noticing missing faces. I'm glad they realize the importance of this work and are not doing it simply because it is expected and staying out here for the best two years, which for them, probably wouldn't be very great. STORY TIME: so its not that funny but I tried to tell a worker here ¨I like your hat¨ but I accidentally said ¨I like your fat¨.... luckily she laughed and I just took my tray from her and left but I just told myself better in the ccm than the field! We are going to the temple at 8 today! Me and Best are determined not to miss this session by going to the bathroom like last time, haha! This way I get back around 12:30 and I get to write guys! and I can finish my laundry and what not, its BEAUTIFUL! Okay I gotta go but I'll write again!
SO we went to the temple and it was the BEST. I was surprised with how much I knew it all being in Spanish and I actually was doing good with the language!!!:) The only funny thing is the Spanish people treat you like your fluent or really bad at spanish... there's no inbetween so they were spewing off words but I got by ok :) NOOOO! :( It wasn't the new Adam and Eve movie but they said it should take AT LEAST 3 more months before the video will be fully translated into all needed languages! I loved it anyway. I love this gospel and the hardships it brings and the growth that comes of it :)
Get off your booty, get on your knees, get to your feet and DO!
Love,
Elder Ty Toolson
