HELLOOO ERYBODY!! Happy <3 day coming up!
As stated in me last letter, this week was transfers! Elder Cummins is in Solon, OH biking. My new companion is Elder Luster! He has been out 16 months and we are excited for this new start! (See photo of last letter with Elder Luster)
We have received a new investigator who we are kind of concerned about.... so we finished a lesson with him and we were headed home for dinner. her texted us during dinner saying that he had just watched on of the movies we left him and said Word for word, "Just watched the restoration movie lover." promptly followed with a "loved it dearly." this young man has bleached hair and has been taking classes on-line for years... socially not there.... later, while setting up an appointment with him, he asked us to text a prayer to him.... we didn't and explained why prayer is important and left it at that. SUPER weird experience but, it's cool, I can roll with it.
We have not been able to get in contact with the investigator family until Sunday through the member friends who referred them. they are still reading the book of Mormon and the 14 year old daughter is reading it on the SCHOOL BUS!!!! IT IS SO COOL!! people are starting to stare at me as i type this because i am so pumped! (not really but it's a great thing to picture).
and that's it for me this week. mom hates 2 and a fraction paragraph letters but that's what i got at this point.
OH WAIT we helped a member pickup a piano that they got for free that was made in 1912 and move it to their house, shoveled our ward mission leaders driveway, and lots of semi -actives driveways, and someone who was sick in our ward needed shoveling also.... pretty COOL stuff.
I love the baptism for my birthday idea!! I'm shooting for it too but we'll let God decide :) I am almost out of the On Guard capsules for flu season but the cold hasn't hit me yet! :) I'm still good! But send soon :)
Hey Chiou's...I am in Medina right now and am loving it but I hope I get to meet Tiffany! I'll be sure to keep an eye and ear out for her! Yes, Lymes has helped me connect with a few people here and has been an awesome talking point! Alena is turning 22 right? or 23? I can't remember! I miss and love you guys too!! tell Alena I say happy birthday! AND Happy Birthday to you too Mindy!
Tiara is awesome even though they beat themselves this week.
It is frustrating when you beat yourself because you then turn and beat ON yourself and ask "Why aren't you better self?" I have been going through that recently and it is exhausting. I have been in need of some divine assistance but i was just not willing to step aside. I want to grab the wheel and get people going! Get people doing what they know or don't know they need to be doing. I still have a ton to learn and one of them right now is how to truly and honestly let God take control and let his dictates be done. I am in need of humility. I love you momma and am grateful for you always making sure that I knew that you loved me. Especially when I got down on myself! I DO know God loves me and am working on giving my all to God and put everything on the table of sacrifices.
I know that the book of Mormon is true and that success as a missionary simply means that we invite others to come unto Christ. I know that god love us and is asking us to follow his council as given through his servants the apostles. I would like to invite you to read elder oaks talk from this last conference. I send my love to the world and hope and pray that we each as a society will remember the god who has blessed us all with so much. I know Thomas S. Monson is the prophet that leads and guides His church today. i leave you with this testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.
fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith.
love from a servant of God
Elder Trey Tooslon
