It's awesome to be a missionary!! If you look at how hard a mission is going to be or all of the things you have to give up you would probably never even think about going!! but just as in every situation that is true. what are the benefits? I have seen myself become more closely affiliated and familiar with the Savior as i have come to serve and love Him. i know that i have been called by God through His modern day Prophet Thomas S. Monson to do the Work that Lord needs me to do.
General Conference is coming up this weekend. Which is a meeting that is broadcasted 2 times a year to the World. This is when The Prophet of our Father in heaven who has the same authority as Prophets in Holy Writ and they speak to each of us about how we can apply the teachings of Jesus Christ in today's world as well as reveals the Current Word of the Lord. Just as Christ set up his church with 12 apostles so has His restored church. We also hear from the Current 12 Apostles as chosen by the Lamb of God as he did when he walked the earth. I am so grateful for this time to ear the words of the Lord's servants and would like to extend an invitation to everyone to invite someone who has not seen a General Conference for the LDS church to attend and view it with you!! Blessings and miracles are all around you... so what do you want to do? window shop? or actually partake of the blessings that God WANTS you to have and experience! THIS IS BIGGER THEN THE SUPER BOWL PEOPLE!!! OR THE WORLD CUP!! THE WORLDS BIGGEST CUP OR BOWL COULDN'T CONTAIN A FRACTION OF THE BLESSINGS THAT COME FROM GENERAL CONFERENCE!! Please take this precious time to hear what the Lord has to say to you.
This last week we met with a few amazing people!
One guy we met, Gill, recently got back from SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA WHERE HIS SON LIVES!!! We started of with talking about Saints Unified Voices and is only desire was to learn about what we teach, what the Book of Mormon and the Restoration DVD taught, and a little bit of our testimony. after our meeting with him and his wife coming in a little later, we were all very excited for our next appointment!! another Lady says she wants to come to General Conference.
Friday, we had Elder Teh come and visit the Missionaries in the Cleveland and Kirtland stakes. It was amazing! He helped me understand what I and we can do differently and better. A HUGE part of it was how we can and need to be working with members in our finding and teaching. That is PARAMOUNT in missionary work. We have to be working with the members!
He also pointed out the word ALMOST. he used examples such as, "I almost missed that tree!." and "I almost committed them to be baptized." "I almost took out the garbage today!" haha it reminded me a little bit of dad. I loved it!! We can and need to give our whole selves and in return God gives us a better us. it's a pretty cool cycle ;)
I love you all and i had time this week to write!! :D so cool! Take the gospel to someone today!!
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith.
Love
Elder Tr3y Toolson
