HUMP DAY in Solon OH!




Elder Anderson DID IT! Zone Leaders Love Moms Cookies!

Hello Family and Friends,

This week was absolutely insane and we have another one coming up!! There were so many things to do!! Ha ha it felt so good to be sooo busy and IT AINT OVER YET!! So many preparations from ZLs with a visiting Apostle coming and it's pure JOY! Then TONS of Service which my hands clearly needed (see photos) Can't get soft! If I am His Hands they should Look like I've Worked, Eh?!! 1 Year OUT??? Time is flying by!THE HUMP DAY PACKAGE WAS AWESOME!!

We ate those cookies so fast!  haha. Everything was PERFECT! I love the tie and pocket square! Thank you so much!! the socks were SO VERY MUCH NEEDED!!


The song for our upcoming Elder Holland meeting is going great. No, I don't have any audio to run for that, I might be able to have Elder Boothe or Elder Mikkelson (elder I'm living with now) record it... we'll have to see :)

HEY...those fires are scary! Hello, this isn't fire season!!! I'm glad to hear everyone for the most part is okay and that everyone is safe. Why would people start a fire!? Oh my goodness! I keep everyone in prayers but praying extra for my grams 'n gramps and LeSeuers + Sagey, Case & Sies... that's gotta be tough. 

We had a Mission President's fireside last night that was incredible! Our investigator Alex spoke as well as a recent convert, Heather. Both of their testimonies were incredible and so strong with the spirit! We also has a member of the Stake Presidency there and a member of the mission presidency. their words were so strong and effected the few people that had made the choice to go. It was such a good night!

WE HAD A LESS ACTIVE COME TO CHURCH!!!! his name is Ace!! oh man he is hilarious! he has been in between a rock and a hard place recently and as he really started to make Christ a part of his life again, we run into him while looking for someone else! we had an incredible sacrament meeting! The sister missionaries also brought an investigator that they met Saturday night 10 minutes before they had to get home! His name is DJ and he is funny too. not as cool as ace but still cool. Gospel principles was awesome and was centered on the law of Chastity!! Ace was practically teaching the thing!!! it was sweet!! but we will see how things go when we challenge him to live it again because he is living with his girlfriend. 

During third hour, all of the adults and youth met in the chapel to discuss media and pornography. Our bishop took it by the horns and did a fantastic job in showing how the Internet is like going on a trip and you must have a destination and a drive to get there, otherwise you wonder aimlessly. in explaining what kind of destination we want, Bishop asked, "where is a place that you felt happy and safe?" DJ (sisters random find on Saturday night) raises his hand and says, "when I'm on my medication!" HAHAHAHA the sisters had no idea about this guys background or even really who he was... so I guess they have a better idea now... DJ came to both Sacrament meeting AND the fireside and is planning on coming to church next week because he felt, "light and love from all of these positive people." WHAT A GUY!!

Ace should be coming next week too!!

I love being a missionary! I love being able to testify every single day! this is bringing my family closer together and is protecting them while I am away and the fires are blazzing! this church is so true!!

Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the Faith,

Elder Trey Toolson
