Hello my people! How's life? That's Good.... I hope!! Well it should be good cause it's all so GOOD!
Study the Good Word of Christ and you will see and Know for yourself!
Anyway this week was great!! We Got a hold of a less-active man in our ward and he has had a change of heart and is really wanting to get back into church! I was wondering about him. He once said he was going to "SUE us if we ever stopped by again" but obviously we kept stopping by! :) Ha ha... I mean come on, we are missionaries! The week before last he came to the 1st hour of church, this week he stayed for the 1st AND and 2nd and next week he committed to come to the whole 3 hours!! Then there was another less active who, with his son came to church who then they picked up a different lass active on their way to church!! Then ANOTHER less active who has been committing then falling through for the past few...ummm... months, FINALLY MADE IT TO CHURCH!!! I WAS SO EXCITED!!!! IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE!!! Never say never and never give up...exclamation point.
We have been doing a few family nights with the Lowry's. I love this member family... the little girl putting on the armor of God reminds me of Tiara so much :) They have a son that's struggling a little to know things for himself and I am trying to be a good example for him the way Elder Springer was for us Toolson boys! Hopefully the spirit will touch him.
Aside from the less active work we have been teaching Joel and his family as well! They are awesome!! Alex is 16 and he is really excited for the youth activities coming up! Kelly is doing awesome and has read the introduction to the Book of Mormon!! WHAT!? SO COOL!! I know that they can feel the spirit working in their lives more and more as they do these things the lord is asking them to do!! We also met with a woman named Julie. Julie's mom just recently passed away form cancer and she has felt so alone through this whole thing. I told her about toby and grandma. the spirit was so strong in that room as we discussed about eternal life and forever families. It is incredible how much love you feel for someone when you are mourning with them, and comforting them. I know that our message about the gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ can and will help because I have felt it in my life! I love my trials! I love my pains! not because of how I feel during them, but becasue of how am able to turn to the Lord and now feel as I use those experiences to strengthen others!
This week is short but it ws incredible!! I love these people that I am blessed to be working with! And these people I am working for! I know that this church is true!! It is the church of the living God! I say these things as a representative of Jesus Christ!
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith!
Love You,
Elder Trey Toolson III
PS... We met with Paula's sister but our boundaries changed and she is in the other elders area now but same ward! Demra is her name and she said that I was the one with an accent... HA!!!! yeah right! she is awesome though! Elder Clement and Shin will do well with her and the family. Elder Clement would definitely be in "my boys" of the mission! He's good to the bone.
