Last Monday was awesome, we went to the Nixon outlet in Emeryville and the Burton outlet in Berkeley. We also got chased by a crazy guy downtown with the AP's, stole Elder Jensen's toothpick right out of his mouth and pulled his pants down to show us his polo underwear. He was right, it was very nice.
Tuesday we had nothing eventful happen, not even a lesson. It was a bummer, no reason to get down though!
Wednesday we went out to our car, and we found out that we had a flat tire. It turns out during the night someone put a screw in our back two tires, so we threw on our spare, made due with one semi-flat tire, and went to Pep boys! After Pep-boys we went to district meeting, after district meeting we had dinner with Elder Prete and Elder Yoshida, they are awesome. Me and Elder Prete had probably the best gospel conversation I've ever had inside Panda express, super cool. Then we went home to say hello to Pream and go Tracting!
Thursday was also good, lots of tracting, no luck, but we went to see Taweedee with the Lao elders, cause he said he speaks Thai, but it turns out he lied. He doesn't speak Thai. That was awkward. Plus he was drunk. Sad. Then we did service that night.
Friday we had interviews, so we didn't get home until like 3, then we did weekly planning and went to teach Jonathan, that was it haha!
Saturday was awesome. We went to a picnic with the branch for pioneer day and scheduled some appointments with some potentials that were there, it was awesome!! after that we went to see Taweedee, and he sat down and told us that he didn't want to learn about Jesus any more, because he is a dictator, so we won't be going to Taweedees house any more... after that we went and tracted, ate dinner, and went to get Poamrong to go and teach a lesson with a referral!! We went to their house with a member and everything, it was awesome, then they didn't answer the door. It was pretty sad, but instead we just went and did our correlation meeting with Poamrong.
Sunday was cool. nothing happened until after church. There is an Elder Here from China, and his parents decided they want to get baptized, so they flew to America, and the cheapest ticket they could get was to the San Francisco airport, so they came here and went to the mission home at like 10 at night and went and knocked on President's door, and asked if their son could baptize them before they had to go back to China the next night!! We went to the baptism, the spirit was so strong, and they knew exactly what it meant for them to be baptized and confirmed members of the church. I am so grateful I got to go and see it happen!! I'm out of time, but I love all of you, I really do. the Church is true, this work means something so much more than we can understand!!!! Be a part of it!!
Love,
Elder Tolman
