My
Dear Family,
This
week was, well, a bit ugly and not so effective as missionaries. With school
starting here, we could not coordinate with the members bien. We invited five
or six people to be baptized- but NONE wanted to accept a date. We are still
working with Alex, and the other two families are moving towards their goal of baptism.
I taught an English class this week for mutual, maybe the young men and young
women should organize a class to teach a foreign language of choice or to learn
more about other cultures. The youth here have begun school, with much
excitement that came weeks ago from FSY. We tried to show a video of the
restoration to a few investigators who have had previous doubts about our
beliefs, but the returned missionary who gave us the video only gave us one in
English. The other week the Relief society president broke her sandal and cut
her toe walking with us. I was sick Friday night until Sunday, and a service
project moving blocks of cement, a horrible choice of take out, and the other
stresses of mission life. I am nearly hydrated again, don’t worry.
This
mission is an obra, or a physical work, and it is exhausting, but it is worth
it and I love it, nor could I imagine a life without this service to my Lord.
I
love you all,
Elder Tobler
