Ahhhhh Yaaaaaaaa week number two in the books!!! Its been a supperrr solid week! We had 7... I repeat SEVEN investigators at church yesterday! So we got there early just cause and we are talking to some leaders of the ward and we see the bishop so we go over there to say hello, and we were all smilin at each other :)... just smilin:) and he says "every third week we talk about missionary work... elders I need five to eight minutes from each of you"..... and so we just said okie dokie and kept smilin:) It was definitely a rough talk, but man the members and even investigators here are so dang nuice! They all said we did good and that they could feel my spirit and that was awesome I just hope I can really start talking with these guys soon, I love them so much!
So investigators are great! We have a ton progressing. A highlight is there is a family L and they have 3 baptized and four not. BUT the nine year old said she wants to get baptized and the two men in the family (father and oldest child) came to church and were participating in every class! This family is awesome! The dad is a teacher but he also trains soccer kids and he got a team together and started coaching them and they are now traveling the world playing in intense tournaments! He relates very well to the gospel because he understands everything that is necessary to have a successful team. That also translates into whats necessary for a successful life and family! I have no doubt he will get baptized!! The next dude is named DANIEL! This guy has read the Book of Mormon all the way through... but wont come to church. We even stopped by and woke him up to come to church but he said he was "sick" nah I doubt it. But he is one we wont drop just because he is absolutely golden and the church needs men like him and more importantly he needs the church!
Those are my favorite investigators this week! I'll share some investigators every week to get you guys updated. ALLLSSSOOOOO I got a haircut and it will definitely last POR LO MENOSSS! 6 months ha ha its darn short. 1-2 on the sides and about a 3 on the top, but its chillin' I kinda like it!
To everyone who is reading this I LOVE MY MISSION! I know that I was called to Honduras for a reason and no other place is more suited for what my Heavenly Father wants me to learn! A rule we have right now in the mission is to read at least one talk from the past general conference everyday! It helps so much I have sticky notes full of Holland phrases that knock my socks off.

Are you alright? lol I'm so excited to hear about your tournamnet and girls camp and then efy and then the cabin, you are going to love it! And open up your eyes! You always say nothing exciting is goin on but ya know what life is so exciting! I love saying hello to everybody in the streets it excites me! There is always something you can share, ESPECIALLY the gospel! You are the beez kneez the bomb diggity and I love you so much!
Dad,
I love you so much! I love telling everybody that you sereved in guatemala and that we get to serve in the same general area! There are many members here who have served in the quetzaltenango mision y todos dicen que es un lugar maravilloso! I love the suspense I get waiting to see what you wrote!
Mom,
You are truly amazing! I use the oils every day and it helps me sleep alot! I miss your hugs and I really miss Rigoletto for some reason... but Mom you gave me the best gift of all "to Love"! I think I really do love the people and that will help me so much in staying dedicated!!
Alright that's all I got this week but everybody keep your gospel guns locked and loaded and all times so you can let 'em blaze when the time is right.
I love you all!!!
Elder Toolson
