Dear
family,
This
week felt quite normal, but in reality we fulfilled a great many things. In
order to begin, there are many members in both wards that are reactivating, and
we are receiving more support from the bishoprics to keep furthering our work.
Many of our investigadores are assisting regularly, and we have many baptisms
coming up in a few weeks. There was emergency exchanges in the District, the
president decided to put Elders back again in the other sector, because it was
too dangerous for the sisters. Hermana Rodriguez and Hermana Leon were both a
little bummed, because the had many people committed to baptism and are within
their last two month of the mission, but changes are the only thing that’s
normal here. Now the Secretaries are working their which means I am district
leader over my trainer!
Serving
one another is the easiest way to gain the confidence of members and
non-members, strangers and acquaintances. We had multiple opportunidades to
rebuild a bit of the house that burnt down a few weeks ago, we are cleaning up
a bunch of weeds for a few members, and we are always aware of chances to serve
those who we meet. We have increased our contacts as a mission, and I feel that
the number of new investigadores is going to stay very high these next few
months, which in turn results in more Brothers and sisters making eternal
covenants with God. In our sector we aim to fulfill our goal to baptize four
people this month and in April.
I
know that this work is real, and that dangers are always present. I strive
daily to remain clean and obedient in order to receive the blessings my father
in heaven has prepared for me. I have no idea when I will receive these great
gifts, or if the Lord desires to build me up a little more before he blesses me,
but I know that He has a plan for me, one where I can live eternally with the
family I have and the family I will have. I have a role to fill here in
Tijuana, and I need to keep inviting everyone to come unto the savior and
redeemer of the world. I can fell His endless love for me, and I seek His
spirit constantly. This is my moment to actively establish the Kingdom of God
on earth, and I enjoy every day I have to be in the service of our Lord. I love
you all, and I will write more next week.
Sincerely,
Elder Tobler
