This week was once again FANTASTIC!
Tuesday we had all our meetings! We ended up going out and visiting less actives with a member named T.., who is amazing. I love T..., he has an amazing testimony and knows like very Cambodian in the Bay Area!
Wednesday we had all of our lessons fall through before personal study ended, so we went and visited less actives and family of members all day!! It was fun. Grandma H... fed us a ton when we stopped by, it was super cool. We saw this homeless guy who came up to us and said "hi" and washed our windows, and we gave him some food from Grandma H.... and then a Book of Mormon. He was super excited, it was awesome!
Thursday we had two less active lessons with two less actives we had never met! One of them wants to come to the Halloween party, so that's a start. We got a referral too for the first time! It was cool!
Funny Story: There is one street called "International" where all the bad things in Oakland happen every night, and the less active we were visiting that night lives there. We were there trying to knock on the door, and they didn't end up being home, but a prostitute walked by to go start the nights shift I guess, and Elder H.... contacted her!!! He didn't think about it or something, I honestly don't know, but she asked what our favorite bible stories were, and he said the story of Saul to Paul, and how no matter what horrible, awful things we've done in our lives, God will forgive us if we come back to him. It was hilarious, we were dying! He didn't even realize what he had said, or who he had contacted!
Friday we had weekly planning and then S.... R...'s family fed us dinner, we love them so much! They do so much for the missionaries and the branch. After that we went to teach C.....'s husband, J...., and he is going to be baptized on Nov. 8th!!! We are so excited for him, he has an awesome testimony of trusting God with everything he does, we love it!!!
Saturday was great too, we got to go to S..... again after our interviews with president! We picked a bunch of little Persimmon fruits for his dad, it was so awesome! We talked to his dad and brother a bunch because they are both less active, so we were excited to actually meet with them! We had correlation with P...... that night too, it was fun, I seriously love P........ We went to teach two investigators, C......'s brother and mom, and it went really well, so hopefully they don't get flaky on us!
Sunday was good too, one of the less actives we've been working with came back, and J...... came!! It was great!
I don't have a lot of time today, but the Church is true and it is continually changing lives!!! Take the time to learn about God's Kingdom on Earth!!!
Love, Elder Tolman
