Welp. Nose to the grindstone literally ALL WEEK THIS WEEK!!!
However, by the time P-day comes I am too busy to rest so lately I have been
crashing during lunchtime. It is absolutely beautiful to conk out for a solid
45 minutes. Wow how boring is that for me to be talking about sleep? I'll get
into the good stuff.
Glorrriiiiaaaaa *cue lamenting sigh..* The poor darling has
literally been going through SO MUCH. Her cancer is spreading from her brain to
her lungs and it has been nearly impossible to meet with her. I dont want to
let her go because she needs the gospel in her life now more than ever before.
Truly one of the hardest parts of missionary work is that fact that the people
that have the most apparent potential and the ones you love the most are sometimes
not quite ready. Giving those people back to the Lord is torture but I trust
that they will be found again and they will be baptized. One can only
hope.
BLESSINGS AND A MIRACLE!
Yesterday we experienced a miracle. Sister Jensen and I were
a little frustrated because in all our efforts to find this week, we had not
picked a single investigator. BAH! Sunday evening we were driving
around and praying fervently before we went somewhere new. After awhile of no
successful finding, we were able to find a member to come with us for an
appointment we had at 7. The man wasn't there so we felt prompted to go try a
couple that we had already tried earlier that day. Since nobody was home when
we tried we decided to call them. They answered the phone and said that we
could come by and share a short message with them. WHOO HOO! We went and had a
short and powerful lesson with this man and his wife. The man (a cute little
Mexican cowboy) has some serious addictions to alcohol and smoking and truly
wants to change. He sees the importance of quitting to save his own life, have
a happier marriage and gain the trust of his children. They both told us how
badly they want to fix their situation and change. The easiest part for us was
to wholeheartedly testify that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is a real thing
and through the enabling power we can lean on the strength of the Lord. Now we
just have to get them going and help them through the beautiful and miraculous
process of REPENTANCE. Side note, I LOVE talking about repentance. It makes me
so happy! Literally this concept is so misunderstood by many. I am happy to
know that it is a time a turning to Christ, miraculous change, and opening
hearts. I LOVE IT.
Well some of these photos are some that I have been trying
to send for weeks. ENJOY!
Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Be Safe&God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
