Ok, so these pic were taken my first week in Medina but i finally got a hold of the pictures!! For service aside from the horses, we demolition a house!!! :D I'm home!! the member we work with asked me if i could use power tools.... he did not know my father is general contractor so i told him that i was comfortable. Ever since then I get to be the power tool guy!!! IT IS SO FUN!!! The other elders get a little jealous sometimes but they'll get over it :)
This week has been absolutely incredible!! we went to Kirtland and saw Nativities form all over the world. one of them was painted in detail on a seed that is as big as your pinky from the tip to the first knuckle!!!! it was so cool!! we, as requested by our mission president and our father in heaven, rededicated our apartment and our time to the lord and his work. our determination and success has been noticeably enhanced! we were able to get in contact and have an appointment with less-active members who haven't let members or missionaries over for a while. we each bore fervent and strong testimony with our ward mission leader and he has accepted the invitation to let us come back and set it up! this is an AMAZING start!!! we are loving our calling as missionaries for the lord's church!! Interacting with members, less-actives, investigators, people in general!! i love my calling!!!!!!
Christmas devotional was incredible!! the music and clips coming in and out during the talks were very powerful!! the talks were amazing by themselves but i think that is a testament that music adds a certain power that nothing else can!
the following story is a true story. i am not exactly sure but i could swear it was on Dec 5th. elder Cummins and i are driving home at to grab some treats we made for a member for dinner and we were listening to his flash drive like we usually do. a song came on that always reminds me of grandma, but, this time, i was not only reminded of her, i felt her and i knew that she was with me and is one of my angels. the song is a rather popular song, at least with the strong family. it is entitled "Danny Boy". grandma's song that was sung at her funeral.she just used Danny boy to help me think about her, but then... she spoke to my soul! :) I know that she lives, I know that she loves me and helps me to continue to do the work!!
This Gospel is true and Heavenly Father has a glorious plan. This church is His!! I cannot stress this enough!!!! I can not say it enough! I will wear the name of Christ until I wear it out!!
I love you all!!
Love from the OCM (ohio cleveland mission)
Elder Tr3y Toolson
