Holy Chupacabra this week was crazy once again and miracles are just flying! 2 quick sorties again then i gotta dash.
Elder Oberst and i have been doing our best to find those that are ready to hear the gospel and accept it. specifically we have been praying for a family to teach and a couple. As we have been talking with people have been trying to listen to the spirit for those who are ready for the next step in their relationship with Jesus Christ. After about 5 weeks of praying, searching and discerning, we got in contact with a less active sister who has a non-member husband and 2 kids ages 13 and 11. we helped them clean out their garage and oraganize it (like how we do at home) and set things up the way the mother told us (not like home). she expressed how she wants to come to church and takes us coming back into her life is a sign. her husband has missed the open friendly culture or Africa and is searching for somthing like that. he felt a connection with us as missionaries and memebr of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. we taught the restoration and on our way out, they committed themselves to come to church, read the book of mormon and the pamphlet we left them, and to have questions next time we meet. the son said that he was going to start reading as soon as we leave and the daughter was involved and asking questions the whole time!! THIS GOSPEL IS TRUE!!
Then there is this man Marvin. we have helped paint his house with him and he had a group of guys that were supposed to come but never did. we were the only ones who showed up to help. as we were moving furniture his wife expressed her thanks (they are black by the way) and she asked us the golden question, "Do ya'll eat ribs?" :D YES WE EAT RIBS!!! we are going over on saturday!!! Marvin said we are welcome to come over anytime!! so we are going to see waht we can do in sharing the gospel and they share their smoked beef BBQ ribs :)
Love you all!!
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith
Love again...
Elder Toolson
