Dear
Family,
This
week was full of Stories! Let's begin with the changes in my Zone. After
beginning his mission here, my trainer Elder Jiménez left for Mexicali to be a
senior companion over one of the missionaries of my MTC district. Elder
Cortes is still training Elder Anderson in Miramar 2, and Elder Cortes will
return home in the last week of April. Elder Brown de Brigham City, Utah
is still my Zone Leader, but Elder Nina left for Ensenada. Elder Jiménez
was a fantastic trainer, and was beginning to lose his missionary focus after
being left in the same sector for so long, and I learned a lot from this
missionary from itzapaluca(?), Estado de Mexico. Now I am Elder Serpa's
first minor companion, who's has been a bit of everywhere in his first 6 months
of the mission. He is also del Estado de Mexico, and also recently graduated
from el Benemerito en Estado de Mexico. This school is basically BYU on a
High school level, and the majority of Mexican missionaries graduated from this
school. That's fine, nearly every Americano es de Utah. :P
Fantasms!
This week while finding a referral from a member we had a ghostly experience.
To begin, I had forgotten many thing in the apartment that day- my tiny Spanish
notebook, my pen, my planner, and my flashlight. That Thursday evening we
had a couple of meetings at the church, and in Las Laureles below us is where
this address is. We found the street, even the house (quite a feat to
accomplish at times) and we began talking to one of the neighbors, we found out
that he was an antiguo investigator from a few years back, and was describing
his neighbors up the stairs, in the same direction where we were bound.
" I don’t know exactly what they believe in, but whatever it is it's
dark and doesn't feel good at all," he said, but we climbed up the stairs
anyway without a flashlight. We knocked on the door, and a little while
later a shadow at the bottom of the stairs we had just climbed said in Spanish
that nobody's there, I responded okay and turned around, my companion heard
nothing. We saw another shadow, but as we left the street, nobody walked
into the light to confirm ghost or human.
I
gotta go, but I love this work and I know that I am guided by the Holy Spirit
in all my actions.
Sincerely
your Son,
Elder
Tobler
