6th letter-June 31, Treybien in service


Not too much went on last week. We have been doing a ton of service though! Which will bring so many blessings!!
 
First there was Dragisa, he and his wife are from ugo-slovia, he is 88 years old and she is 86, and speak very broken english but know well enough. We are painting their garage which is a shed in the back. We have easily spent over 15 hours just scrapping paint off and it's still not done. This paint is tough. but he gave me and Elder Houser one tie each from his own closet! How sweet is that! He tells us everytime he sees us how much he loves us, and we truly love him back!! Yes, he is a little off his rocker.... he was digging a hole with a chain saw.... after he spent 1 our and a half on trying to figure out how to work it. He wouldn't let me help, but he wouldn't let me leave his side either.. :)  I didn't know what to do!! I'm starting to get like dad in that I have to be doing something at all times...but he wouldn't let me do anything!!! It was a great opportunity to learn patience... hahaha.
 
Really not too much happened last week... but this next week.... WE ARE HAVING A BAPTISM!! His name is Rodney from Kentucky!! The professional paintballer I told you about!!! He is an absolute stud!!! His dad got baptised on Saturday and his mom has been a member for about a year now I think... We are trying to get his dad to come perform the baptism which would be AMAZING for both of them!! The lord is preparing people to hear the word. I am so humbled to be a part of this work. I love it and will continue to do my best and to be my best.
 
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the Faith.
 
Love,
Elder Trey Toolson
