Here is another fabulous email from our spectacular missionary! We love her to pieces!!
Love you all!! Thank you for all the support and love you send my way! Wow tell
Keith and Lila thanks a ton! We really do have such a wonderful family
and sometimes after I'm done visiting these families that don't have the
gospel I realize more and more how blessed we really are! The gospel
really is amazing!
This week I did get to see Elder Ballard!!! Wohooo shook his hand
and everything! And in the pic I was like 3 people away! I felt so famous
but there was like 250 of us missionaries because all of our mission
got to go. Anywho, We heard from Elder Mayne and Elder Resime too and
wow were they amazing as well! It was such a motivation to get going and
save our brothers and sisters souls! I loved every second and my
testimony has grown tremendously from it!!! The gospel is so true! They
talked about being personal with prayer and say names and things while
praying and that this is a marvelous work we are in, and we are chosen to
bring others to Christ! They also mentioned that we need to use the
members because they are the ones that know the people and will help in
hastening the work!
I was thinking about that and it's so true we go to
strangers and tell them about this great message but it is not as
powerful as one of their friends or family that have gotten to know them
and love them share the message that we do have a loving Heavenly
Father and he sent his son to die for us so that we are able to live with
him someday! Like High School musical says we are "All in this
together!" Disney knows what its talking about! So don't be shy to help
hasten the work! Anyway, When they bore their testimonies it was so powerful I
reallly can't deny that this gospel is true!!!!! It is I know it!!!
Christ did not just leave us on this earth without a way of returning
and we are so blessed to have apostles and prophets tell us what we need
to do! And I also want to thank you for letting me rely on all of your
testimonies for awhile because I don't know what I would have done
without it!
I think wow all my life I have had this gospel and I really did take it
for granted because I see people everyday that don't have it and you can
just tell the difference. I really can't thank you enough! Thank you
for your prayers!!!
Also we are teaching this amazing 16 year old girl that is phenomenal! We committed her to being baptized November 23rd
but she feels pressured a little so yesterday we fasted for her and
stuff. And would really appreciate your prayers in her behalf!!! Her
name's Lexi and we know everything will work out but would love the
extra support!
You are all the best and I wish you the best! Love you more than a fat kid loves cake!!!!
Love,
Sister Toomer
We love Sister Toomer!!!
It's so true the work is hastening and without the members help it is hard! I'm so proud of you guys cuz I know you will help your missionaries;) You guys are great! Over here the members are wonderful! There's a lady that lets us do our laundry at her house :) They are all super great and I bet the missionaries there say the same thing about you! I love you all! And I appreciate your love and support it really helps a ton! Halloween was fun we got to go to the church for a little bit to see the trunk or treat they do there, and then we had to be in our apartments all night but we made it fun we danced to Christmas music and sugared up! :) Gotta love Halloween! The work is going pretty well we are meeting with Lexi King tonight. She is the one scheduled to be baptized Nov 23rd but feels a little pressured-but I have faith everything will work out. She is such a cool girl she already is sticking up for the church cuz her friends said that we aren't Christians and she clarified it! I'm so proud! I love getting to know the people and seeing how the gospel changes lives for the better and it really does! Thank you so much for raising me in this wonderful gospel!!! Hope all is going well and love you lots! I love you so much!! Stay Awesome!
Love,Sis Toomster!
