"Hermana Towb-way!"
"Si!!!"
As I am sure you can see, my name is a constant struggle
from day to day. I have always loved my name, what it means to my family, as a
goal of what I want to aspire to, and as I reminder that Swiss Chocolate is
literally a part of my identity. However... unfortunately, this name is not as
easy to pronounce in Spanish and seeing these darling people try to say my
incredibly Eurpopean name is super sweet.. Awwww.....
Welp! I found out some Bad/Wonderful news... Maria, (the
investigator I wrote of last time) is actually... BAPTIZED?! I know
right??
You can imagine that distress slash happiness when we found
out that our other golden turned out to be a dusty member that was baptized 30
years ago. So no baptism for us but we picked up her husband and are working on
getting him in the game.
Tender little story time!
Pues.. Conference was BEAUUUTIIFFULLL.... I loved every
second. I also loved the orange that I ate before the afternoon session began.
I was finishing this lovely little fruit as we walked back to the parking lot
of the stake center to grab my notebook in the car. As we emerged from the
building we met 4 members of our ward coming in. I expressed an excited
greeting and ran to hug/shake their hands before remembering that I was a
sticky mess. Seeing my problem, one of the Hermanas grabbed a fresh water
bottle, took my hands, and carefully rinsed them. Then another Hermana dug
around in her bag for a clean napkin so I could dry my hands, and as I did so
she said: "te queiro con todo mi corazon." Awwwwwwww....... Then I
hugged them. :)
This experience is just one example of how much the members
do for us as missionaries. I feel so blessed to serve in such a wonderful area.
We are so well taken care of, it makes me feel like I am at home, away from
home.
Not much more to report this week other than I am missin my
other half (Hermana Bjork) desperately, but Hermana Jordan and I are working
our buns off and getting this work DONE, so life is good.
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Stay Safe& God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
