Happy December from Sister Toomer!!

Here is a letter she wrote recently...

I love you!!! Thanks for all your support and love really I have the best family a sister missionary could ever ask for!!! That is soo cool you got a hold of Sister Clegg's sister she is super excited to meet you!!! 
I think I will be in Pendleton for Christmas but transfers are next week so I will know for sure then. We are actually doing wonderfullly here and have more and more people to teach! We took two younger boys to church yesterday and they said they want to go again!!! Then we have this kinda crazy lady we are teaching that says she will get baptized if she has goggles, and nose plugs and ear plugs so we are getting really close with her cuz she is super afraid of water. But really it's salvation! I was reading how when Christ came to the America's and the first thing that he did kinda was tell the people he loved them and let them witness of him and then gave people the authority to baptize people so really it is that important!!! I love learning and growing in the gospel!!! And Pendleton really is a wonderful area the members are so supportive and I couldn't ask for more! Also cool story, Kurt met a kid that is from Pendleton and I know his family. They were actually the first house I taught I lesson at here! Small world!!! Life is great! Sometimes I wish I could just drag people to the font but I need to learn patience and it's good :) There is this lady named Roberta and her family are new converts and she goes to church all the time but is being stubborn on being baptized so if you could keep her in your prayers that would be great! You're the best!! Oh and I went on exchanges with Spanish speaking sisters and the church really is true even when you can't understand the language, the spirit was there. It was really cool and I learned a lot.
I pretty much smiled cuz I couldn't teach in Spanish although I did bear my testimony in Spanish- soy Jesus Christo Vive! I know Jesus Christ Lives!!! :) What more do they need;) jk Thanks again for everything and are all of you going to be at one place for Christmas cuz I have a place I can Skype at! Should be good!!! Love you all!!
Love, Sister Toominater
