Monday we went and hung out with Sister Smith and Jarret for the rest of our P-day, then contacted like 5 of our referrals that night, very productive.
Tuesday we had district meeting and a lot of tracting, and also dinner with the Haupeakui family, we love the Haupeakui's. Fun thing! The wife actually is the sister to the Leakaehe's (sorry I definitely spelled that wrong), who live like across the street from me in Herriman! I was in young mens with their nephew!! Super cool. Also, on the way to district meeting, we got Rear-ended, so another incident to add to the list of all my car challenges on the mission.
Wednesday we had exchanges with the Fijian elders again, it was a blast, me and Elder Tu'ua went out, and we are definitely going to be good friends. He's from provo and got here about two months after I did, but we hadn't met each other until about two months ago, mostly cause we were in totally opposite parts of the mission the whole time, but we went and contacted people and tried to organize the massive list of 700 some less active members we have, then we also got to go to President and Sister Roden's house for dinner, they are amazing. He's in the Stake Presidency, and he is one of the most incredible missionaries I've ever met, He's great.
We also taught Brenden our Recent Convert that night!
Thursday was good, we went to help the spanish elders get rid of some nasty furniture that some missionaries before them left behind, then went to help Ruby, one of the tongan members that owns Samaritan house food bank. We had dinner with the Samani's after that, and they had some non-member nephews that are staying with them While they wait for visa's to go with their parents to scotland, cause their dad is a professional rugby player there! fun. Then that night we went to splits with the ward!
Friday we had Weekly planning and Stake Reports again for the end of the month, so we were on the computers all day.
Saturday we had blitz's!! I got to go and work with Elder Mclaw's from farmington for 2 hours, he's brand new and we just went to town, it was a blast. We were in the meanest part of the south San Francisco area, and we had two hours to go and be as loving and bold as we possibly could, and even though we were met with lots of hard hearts and rude words, I got to show him a new piece in the path he's allowed the Lord to start him on, he's a great missionary! Then that night we had our ward halloween party, it was awesome! There is a lady named Marilynn that has a boyfriend named Enoch we have been getting to know. He's come to church with us three times and finally started talking to us about the gospel. He is a scientist and a theology major, and he asked how we gain spiritual knowledge, because we know more than he does about how God feels about his children, and he didn't understand how that was possible!! it was so cool!! He agreed to meet with us next week, and then we went and ate chili with him.
Sunday was the usual, we had dinner with three families, two work for google in development and one is a world-wide trade officiator, so it was cool to hear all about how they are tired of bmw's and the stereotypical fancy seafood rich people eat, very exciting dinner appointment.
Overall, my prayers are answered daily and I am a witness of Christs divinity and power every single day, and I get to teach people about him every single day. My life could not be any better right now. I hope everyone is taking time to know more about the Savior for themselves so that they can be as happy as I am. I love you all and am sincerely grateful that you care enough to even read this, you are all saints and the best of friends. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Tolman
