Dear
Family,
This
week we worked really hard with the investigators that we have right now- with
little result. Though we visited just about everyone and cordially invited them
to just attend church, we only had two in attendance yesterday. On Wednesday we
contacted a nice couple, and we will verify this week if they still would like
to listen to us, and that evening we had a Family Home Evening with Ceaser.
That was so fun! His wife had the baby on Saturday, so it was completely
acceptable that he didn’t make it to church. We do have some Investigators with
a baptismal date. One was deported about two months ago, and the other one we
just barely got to know him yesterday! Our main goal this week is to find and
invite new investigators to attend church. On Saturday Elder Solano came to my
Sector in interchanges. This Zone Leader is from Uruguay, and taught me many
ways to utilize my leadership capabilities to direct my district. The Sisters
in Libertad baptized this weekend, and the baptismal interview went so much
easier that the first time.
Food
this week was great! Hermana Alma gave us some ice cream with a fried tortilla
chip, Huraches are pretty good, but I love my breakfast. We have french toast
occasionally, eggs and hot dogs, guacamole, I never get bored. This Tuesday
when Beto Arredondo gave us money to eat, we contacted a less-active member
(surprise) and are trying to include her family in the ward activities.
These
photos took FOREVER to send, but I couldn’t find a simpler way. I will send
more when I have time.
I
want to close quickly and say that I love my savior and I love this privilege I
have to serve a mission here in Tijuana. I Trust in him, and know we can
accomplish all things if we actually exercise this faith we posses. I know we
can rise up and soar, and that we must never fear. I know that God is our
Father in Heaven, and that he has an individualized plan for us. I know this
church is true, and that we are directed by a prophet today.
Sincerely,
Elder Tobler
