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

Trey's Week of Change

HELLO Everybody! Coming at you live from sunny.... Cleveland. it's actually NOT Sunny but that's ok because... "THERE IS SUNSHINE IN MY SOUL TODAY!!" President Vellinga was talking about this one billboard about a disease on the freeway and 1 in 250 are carriers... if we look at the statistics... the membership of the church is pretty similar. 1 in 250 are carriers of the best news in the world!!! This "disease" can be transferred in many various ways but it seems a few are catching the earlier symptoms. These being: happy, uplifted, see things with a more positive light, and want to feel more of the lord in their lives through listening and reading His words... let's take a closer look at the victims of one of the worlds fastest spreading "diseases". ME!  ha ha ...

 

We went to Longhorn Steakhouse because we had a gift card (still lovin' my Easter Box Mom & Dad) and as we were getting ready to order one of the managers came over and started a little small talk with us. His name was Josh super chill guy. He small talked about the weather and that always is perfect segway to bring up San Diego! Turns out he is from dog beach San Diego!!! ha ha,  He also had a really good friend who was a member of our church and he attended a meeting once and said he really liked it. We asked why he stopped if he liked it so much. He was in the military and moved around a ton, but said, "I have been able to speak with a lot of people from different churches and I gotta say that yours is the best! He asked for our names, church address and phone number!!!!!!! so Stoked!

 

Then there was another guy that we met tracting. His name is Jeff, his twin brothers son committed suicide but he was amazed as to how well his brother delt with it because of his faith in Christ (not a member but sounds prepared too). We shared Helaman 5:12 and read a little more in th BofM and he really liked it. he said multiple times, "You guys came at a great time. I needed this." so amazing!! We met with our investigator Janet and chastized her with love for not coming to church. She committed to come this week FOR SURE and we are meeting with her friday!

 

The bummer is after ALL OF THIS... I get transferred!! I am heading out tomorrow to somewhere else that President V says I am needed. I am so happy that I have been able to serve these people in this area of Medina and to be able to feel of the holy spirit work on us and through us to help others come to know the most eternal truth ever, that Christ lives, he is real, there is a God and he loves us. Yes it has been hard to find people to teach but the Lord is hastening his work!!! That is fact esspecially after this week!! we found 2 potential investigators and got a hold of another potential that we have had for a while and we are going to meet with them all before I leave!!! I have been released as a district leader and called ot be a Zone Leader. I am a little scared and overwhelmed at the responsibilities but mostly that I'm over a zone that I've never served in! But i know that this is the Lords work and that he is allowing me to grow and learn furthur through this calling. PRAYERS ARE WELCOME!!!! Please haha. Im OFF on a traveling adventure, destination unknown, I will let you know where I am on Monday next week!

I have had a wonderful time with Elder Boothe and my musical companions. I hope to carry on with another great companion and keep up the service and teaching as the Lord would. He is the Master of Mighty Miracles and I have seen them work through me. He has blessed us with a prophet to restore the same exact church that was structured by Christ himself. These things are true and I cannot deny it. "I [know] it, I [know]that God [knows] it." -Jospeh Smith jr. propeht seer and revelator. This is it!! LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL ON!! like the stone cut form a mountain ;)

 

Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith!
