For Pete's sake,
Sunday has just turned into the Menudo day! Of course it has to be our
investigators feeding it to us every time. I promise, it is literally undying
charitable love that I have for these people that I was able to eat that.
Whewwww...
This week was
another great one! We were able to find and pick up another family of 6 and
they seem LEGIT. I love it when the parents are 100% on board and they are so supportive.
Butttttt... they might be English because the kids are struggling with the
Spanish thing. We shall see.
Olga, Kate,
Yolanda, Marlena, and Fred are all doing great! We are trying to keep our
pipeline building before this bunch gets baptized. Literally the Lord has
provided so many miracles I have no idea how to handle it. Heavenly Father
loves us so much!
MLC was this week
and wow, every time I leave that meeting on a spiritual high to go and baptize
every person I talk to. We talked a lot about Repentance Obedience, and
consecration. However one thing that The Spirit taught me that sunk deep deep
into my heart was that with the Atonement we can live our lives/serve our
missions without regrets. Of course we all know we can be better or we worry
that we are never going to measure up to all the expectations surrounding us,
but as long as we are doing our best and repenting all the way, they Lord will
enable us to live a life without regret. I know that to be true. Focusing on
the good, learning from our mistakes, and repenting every day like your
salvation depends on it (because it does) is the key to having success and joy
in this life.
I came to know the Savior this week by studying
the topical guide about the names of Jesus Christ and all the associated
scriptures starting with Jesus Christ, Advocate. I learned a lot of interesting
things about that and how He is the Great Intercessor and our Advocate with the
Father. I came to understand that when we stand before God to be judged, if we
come unto the Savior through faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of
the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end, he will plead our case before the
Father. The better we come to KNOW the Savior in our lives, the better our
judgement will be because we have truly allowed Jesus Christ's Atonement heal,
cleanse, and enable us.
I seriously love my mission. Where else would I find a weird
excitement and joy than sitting in random people's living rooms, throwing
my planner to the wind and following the spirit, playing the piano every week
in Relief Society to my beloved Latina Hermanas singing, testifying of the gospel
to everyone I see, being fed fit to burst every day, and crashing before my
head hits the pillow every night. I am doing this work because I love the Lord
and I love my brethren and I want to see the gospel work it's miracle in
their lives. The greatest work for me to ever do right now is to serve
with everything I've got here in the California Riverside Mission.
It has been the BEST 17 months of my life and I am looking
forward to these last few weeks to finish strong.
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Be Safe&God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
