I'm so thankful for you!!!! I can't tell you enough of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family and for all your support and love you send my way! Thank you for fasting!!! You're amazing the work really is hastening-we have been getting more referrals than ever before and they are more and more people ready to hear the gospel, I love it! We have a one lady that just needs to be dunked cuz she is pretty much a dry mormon and is being stubborn!!! So if you could pray for Roberta Tollis to be baptized!!! Her whole family are converts to the church she is just being silly. Anyway Sister Clegg will not be with me this Christmas season. She is going back to Orem,

Utah the 19th so if you want to go to her farewell that would be sweet!! She is such a great missionary and I got super duper blessed to be her companion!!!! Thanksgiving will be a blast we are having a party with like tons of families that all want to take care of us so no worries! And I just wanted to thank you for being the best family a girl could ever have!!! I love you!

Love,

Sister Toomer

Another Letter-

11/28/13  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Man this week was awesomely exciting!!! So for thanksgiving since everyone is asking... I had a big breakfast with members and then a two thanksgiving dinners at different members home! It was delicious! We did walk to our different areas so that helped make room for more and more food. We also visited tons of people on that day so we got desserts galore! The church is so amazing! Missionaries are famous kinda, well according to members here. My companion leaves in like 2 weeks sad day! She is so great and I have learned tons from her!!! She talks about home a lot which is alright, but no worries I'm still keeping her working ;) She really is a great missionary and I really did get blessed!! Cool experience too. She taught a family a year ago and they were sealed in the Washington temple this Saturday and Sister Clegg got permission to go and since I'm her comp I got to go as well!!! It was the sooo cool! Makes me super excited for the day when I can go with my future man someday! Also I was thinking of our people we are teaching and how they could go in the temple in a year like this family did! It was such a cool experience!!!

We are teaching this lady that is on date for baptism and she doesn't come to church- kinda frustrating...but anyway we had a really cool lesson we were teaching her the plan of salvation and we brought a member with us and he brought his ipad to show her pictures and stuff. And we were going on with the lesson and the spirit was there and the member kept fiddling with his Ipad. We ignored him and finished the lesson. After the prayer the member asked our investigator if she had a relative named Kathrina and she was kinda weirded out and said ya that is my mom's grandma. He showed her his ipad and Kathrina was written on the notes page and he said he had a prompting to write down her name. He said that a women was telling him how to spell it and that Chris the investigator needed to get baptized so that she could do the work for her. It gave me chills but you could totally feel her presence and the spirit was sooo strong! I probably didn't give this story justice but it was amazing and I know without a doubt that there are those on the other side of the veil watching over us and helping us find our brothers and sisters! The gospel is true and it really does bring happiness and peace in my life! Thank you all for being wonderful examples and raising me in this wonderful gospel!!!!

I love you all and wish you the best in all your endeavors!

Love,

Sister Toomer
