This week was AMAZING. So much goodness.
Monday we got to go eat with the smiths, then taught Rick, then said goodbye to the cox's for Elder Forsyth, it was awesome.
Tuesday we got up and packed up and headed to transfers, said our goodbyes, and he was off! crazy. Now Elder Henson and I are leading the zone! Lots of fun things... We went to work and went and planned out the transfer and set some goals. It was great.
Wednesday we got up and got going nice and quick. We went and visited a few members and then drove ourselves out to Oakland to help with the new missionaries. we had two new sisters come to the zone, and also Elder Ey is training!! I have a Grandson!! It was an awesome day. We didn't get home until 9:30 again though, it was definitely a long day.
Thursday we got to go do missionary things all day, it was marvelous. Just kidding. We had to go to Oakland again because one of the new missionaries here didn't realize he needed a bike, and we are the only ones that have the means to transport a bike over here so we had to get it for him, which was definitely ok. We got back and went to the Cox's for dinner, and then went to teach brenden and Jason, which definitely went well, Jason is doing pretty good! We tried to go and see a guy named scott then, but he wasn't home...
Friday was weekly planning, and it was great. we got a lot done and set a couple appointments for this week. That night there was a big elders quorum activity with virtual reality since like 10 people are VR designers in our ward, it was amazing. We couldn't do much, but I am totally blown away with how cool technology is. Super fun.
Saturday was awesome, we had district meeting, then we went to dinner with the Hunters, or so we thought.... we got to Red Robin, our designated dinner location, and then we waited. Waited some more. A bit more. Suddenly it was 6:00! We had to be in half moon bay at 7 and hadn't even ordered yet! Uh oh! Luckily, the Lord provides, and there was a Lady named Clara who is a member!! She changed shift and went up front and saw us and said, "Elders! Do you need to be fed??" and she graciously seated us, giving us priority over all the people in line, and there were many, and we ended up getting to our appointment on time! Amazing!! It was a great day.
Sunday was also good, after church we studied and went to dinner with the Ramirez family, then taught Brenden a lesson, adding yet another of the wayfarers to our teaching pool. His name is Collin, he is really cool, he likes church architecture. Then we met Scott!!! We have been trying to meet him for 6 weeks!!! And we finally did!!! we set a lesson for tonight!!
This week was great. I love the gospel, and I love working in faith to see the hand of the Lord in the lives of the people around me. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!! I love you all, Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Love Elder Tolman
