It's that time of the month again... It seems Elder Forsyth has reached the end, we will say good bye to him tomorrow and then I will head back with the one and only ELDER HENSEN!!!! He is companions with Elder Ey in the Cambodian branch right now, but now he will come to San Mateo with me! How fun!
Monday was good, we didn't really do anything. We went tracting, and Elder Forsyth was sick most of the week, so we were inside a lot.
Tuesday we had district meeting, and afterwards we had dinner with Sister Smith and Jarrett. Next we went to see Rick, and he committed to go and home teach with Brother Mcmannis who teaches him with us! It was awesome!
Wednesday we went on exchanges with the Fijians again, and Elder Sontag and I went and committed their investigator to be baptized, it was awesome. We had dinner with President Roden again, which is always awesome.
Thursday we went with the Tagolog elders and just went and talked with Filipino's all day, I didn't know what they were saying but it was great.
Friday was weekly planning, and Elder Forsyth was sick all day, so I planned by myself and wrote thank you cards to members all day, good day.
Saturday we had zone blitz's, there were so many miracles this week, it was awesome!! This week our zone had the highest numbers in the mission, it was pretty cool, most of it came from the blitz. Super neat.
Sunday was awesome. Enoch has been coming to church every week, and he has read through all of the lesson pamphlets we gave him and is living all the commandments he knows of, so all that needs to happen is he needs to let us actually teach him the lessons haha! We also got to eat with the Argyles that night, and they are SO COOL!! He works for Pinterest and basically runs the website, so if you have any improvement ideas let me know and I'll tell him. I love them. That night we went to teach Brenden too, and the guys in the recovery house with him kept coming outside to smoke, and we invited five people to sit in on our lesson, and one guy named Jason was super interested in the church, so we added him as an investigator, and Brenden is there to read with him all the time and answer his questions. Pretty cool. He said that he wants to get baptized, so we have a lot of high hopes in our prayers!!!
I love being a missionary. Have I said that before? Probably. This is the best experience I have ever had. I prayed this week a lot for opportunities to go and share the gospel with people who really need it, and I was definitely blessed with an answer to that prayer. So much is happening in the work here to strengthen the members and myself, and I couldn't be more grateful. THIS IS AMAZING. I'M SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME!!! I hope you all have a great week!! I love you!!
love,
Elder Tolman
