Heeeelllloowwww!
How is everryjuan? I hope life is just dandy for all and
that your summer is nice and cool. I have come to the conclusion that it is
easier to feel the spirit when you don't have sweat pouring down your face and
flies landing on every bit of your exposed skin. Gotta love those lessons! ;)
This week has been so great! We have received Muchas
blessings and I cant handle the fact that we will be baptizing every Sunday for
the rest of July. (If all continues to go as planned.) I am so happy because my
mission began with so much baptism success and completely died off the next
transfer. My comps and I all worked our buns off but we saw little fruit and it
was kind of frustrating. Here in my new area I have been blessed in ways that I
never imagined and the people are flocking to church every week. I never
thought that I would cry over seeing someone walk into a chapel. I am
especially excited for the most wonderfully prepared investigator I have ever
taught. Lupe has dealt with SO MANY challenges in her life and has been
absolutely GOLDEN in her preparation for baptism. Next week she will be
entering the water and I have no doubt that my heart will fly out of my chest.
Plus her little son, Juan, will be baptized the following week. I can die in
happiness.
So whilst we were walking out on the heat streets this week
we found a super cool fellow named Daniel. He was super interested in learning
more about God and finding the truth. We got to have really great discussion
with him where we briefly explained the message of the Restoration, and gave
him a Book of Mormon. After it all he held that book so reverently and looked
at it as though it held all the answers to life. (Which it does.) I was about
ready to burst with excitement to teach this man but to my great disappointment
he told us he was moving to Ontario that day. NOoooo! But selfishness aside, he
is SO going to get baptized, serve a mission and become an MTC teacher. (I
think the Spirit planted that into my heart.) HORRAY!!
Okay last little funny story.. Yesterday while walking
around looking for souls to save, Hermana Gomez and I saluted a middle aged
couple in their garage watching TV. After seeing us, they turned to each other
and started grumbling: "What are they Mormons? Are they giving out Bibles?
Fine I will go talk to them for you.." So the husband took one for the
team and lumbered out his garage to talk to us. He clearly told us where to
find the nearest Mormon house and tried to run away. But after our invitation
to share our message he laughed and said "Unless you two marry me right
now, there is no way I will ever be a Mormon!" It was hysterical!! I tried
to keep it together but the man had a great come back for us. As much as I want
him to be baptized, I will omit from sacrificing my marriage choice. So
funny.
Well thanks again for all the continual support and letters.
I LOVE EVERY WORD.
Have a great week!
Stay Safe&God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
