Wow, August fleeeew by! Here is our amazing Sis's latest!
I love this work! I have really seen the fruits of our labors:) Yesterday one of our investigators bore there testimony and she said I really do believe that what we do in this church is good and from Christ. It was really cool I felt really proud and I knew my Heavenly Father was proud. Then in RS another one of the Less-active members bore her testimony on how we helped by just doing dishes and showing love that her Heavenly Father loved her and wanted her to come back to church! It was such a great day!Then we knocked on a Baptist guy that was from Tennessee so I felt tied to Elder Toomer. That was so fun! We asked if we could say a prayer with him and he said yes then took our hands and we held hands while I prayed he kept amening and uhmmming it was AWESOME! I really do love this work and all the support you have given me!I love you all so so much!Love,Sister Toomer
Where do I begin! Okay so Brandon Meneni finally got baptized with his twin daughters this weekend. He was the guy that got married to his girl that's a member and they had been with each other for 10years and had 4 kids together. We were their witnesses for their wedding and at his baptism I got to speak on baptism!! Wohoo! I'm so happy for that family!Also one of our members brother got baptized. He lives in Walla-walla but he is always in Richland so we taught him the restoration and the Elders taught the rest. We couldn't go to his baptism because it was at the same time as Brandon's but it's okay.Then this cute girl that's about our age got baptized this weekend!! She lives in our apartment complex with her dad every other weekend type of thing. We met her because silly me locked us out of our apartment and went to find the manager. The manager lives by the pool and she was swimming and there was some mean ladies that were being rude to her for wanting to join the LDS church. So we came to the rescue and team taught her the discussions with some Elders. It was meant to be!I just love how the Lord works and I'm so blessed to be a part of this work!! Thank you for all your support and love!Love,Sister Toomer
Wow what a fast week! I can't believe I'm writing again. So this week was awesome we have been teaching people like crazy and that's my favorite part is the teaching. There is this 9year old girl named Kailyn that has made the awesome decision to get baptized on the 20th of Sept. Wohoo super excited for her! Then we are teaching this way cool teenage girl, Racheal who is now living with her aunt that's a member. She came to church yesterday and said she enjoyed it...teens I just can't read them.... good thing the spirits the teacher;)We also have Angela who is scheduled to be baptized the 20th of Aug but she still hasn't gain that testimony for herself yet, so we are just postponing it. All in the Lord's timing!We had a ward BBQ friday and the Meneni family came to that and their mom that's not a member:) It was fun! It was right by the Columbia river and man I missed boating for like a split second but no worries I'm still working hard :)I love this work and know without a doubt this is the Lord's work and I'm just his instrument! Good luck with school and everything! You'll be in my prayers!Love,Sister Toomer

Yes this is my last week in Richland...so sad I've grown to love this area and all those who have helped me bloom;) Not gonna lie when I first got here it was intense I couldn't even get a hold of our bishop and I didn't even know where the church was. Remind you I was training a new missionary at this time. Now I know this area like the back of my hand well only because I've learned a ton from my Savior and have really drawn closer to him!I'm headed to...Yakima! Oh ya I think I'm over a Young Single Adult ward and a regular family ward. And I'm going to be a Sister Training Leader. Which means I do exchanges with sisters close to my area and check on them I guess. Kinda crazy but it will be great!I appreaciate all your support and love! Keep the letters coming if you can;) Love you all!Love,Sister Toomer
