Fw: Ty's week July 24th

 

Hello Everyone!

This week has been another amazing week in the mission! Its been great because we taught a bunch! We had a ton of references and a ton of new investigators and now we will see who will truly progress and embrace the gospel as the truth it is!!! Lets see we had a really good lesson with a guy named Freddy. We had been teaching his brother for over a month and one time we made a point to ask everyone if they wanted to listen to the message, i personally didn't think that Freddy would be interested, but he came to church! Man it was great to have him there! He told me he learned a lot about the spirit so that was great! He was a little timid to leave for teachers quorum but he eventually did. He will for sure get baptized! Another blessing was that we have a baptismal date with a guy named Jose but we couldn't find him for a week at his house. then Sunday rolled around and he showed up! Shirt and tie and smilin:) I say shirt and tie because usually he is wearing an unbuttoned shirt with his chest hair just flowing all over the place. He will be baptized this Saturday! All in all we had 11 investigators at church! That's the most me or my comp have had in the mission:)

The Lord is waiting to bless us everybody! The church is true, christ is our redeemer and Thomas S. Monson is his prophet! Its a beautiful thing to see a testimiony develop in our investigators. We taught tatiana again and she is so ready. She reads every day and even is starting to read about hte church history on the church website, we Told her to be careful with what she reads because most sites are false. She completely understood and told us that she could feel when it was truth or not. She had a lot of question about poligamy and homosexual relationships and me and my companion did great in answering those questions! We talked about the beauty of modern day revelation and how for every generation there is different cautions needed and she just ate it up! What a gal, she has a baptismal date for the 9th of august:)

Something that we are doing is focusing on getting help from less actives. We go over to less actives houses to share the gospel with them and then we ask for references! Its great because as they are helping us they are also building their testimonies! They then come out with us to contact and they always bear their testimony and it makes me just cry. I love this gospel. I testify that the lord qualifies us for this work. I know that i am a small and simple thing, but through small and simple things great things shall come to pass!

I love you all BIGGGG SHOUT OUT TO ELDER SCHENK for being such a stud and being 20! He's an amazing missionary and i hope you all tell him happy birthday! Have a great week:)

Love

Elder Toolson
