Hey!We went to the temple today and man was that amazing! I love that the church and the gospel principles are the same everywhere you go!!!! So cool!!! This week was wonderful! We had Al Bennett's baptism- he is that 73 year old that I told you about and wow was it so amazing! The spirit was so strong and I got to bear my testimony and say the opening prayer so ya I'm on cloud 9! And more good news: We are teaching this 16 year old girl that pretty much came up to us to learn more about the church and she has been committed to being baptized on the 23rd of November!! She is pretty much golden because when we teach her she is like a sponge and absorbs everything right up!!! I love teaching her! Her dad is less-active and her mom is a non-member but her grandparents are members and she said she loved the feeling she had when she went to church with her grandparents. So that was how it all began:)
I meet some pretty amazing people and I know that there are plenty more to come so ya I can't wait!!! Oh and excitting news I get to see an apostle of the Lord on saturday!!!!! Elder Ballard is coming to our mission and we all get to hear him speak and shake his hand! How awesome is that!! If you couldn't tell I'm just loving life right now! It is kinda tough at times but the good moments totally outweigh the bad :)
I love to hear that you all are trying to do missionary work as well!!! That's what the Lord is asking from all of us so I guess we better get going ;) Keep up the good work!!! I know you'll do awesome and I bet the missionaries over there will just love you cuz the members are so key to finding the elect. Even when they are less-active.
Also, there isn't any snow over here...the weather's wonderful and the trees are so pretty! I love the mission life and my comp is still amazing-I really did get blessed with her. And I love you all so very much and wish you all the best!!!Love,Sister Toomer
