Dear
Family,
These
two weeks have been absolutely incredible! We have had 9 people committed to
baptism for a week, with many people in church on Sunday; and then we increased
this week, with 12 committed to baptism, more investigadores attending church and
nearly everyone progressing! And I have had a lot of fun in doing so. Last week
we played basketball with the Zone Leaders and a few of their investigadores on
P-day, and we are visiting the world! We have nearly contacted a whole colony
en Los Altos and we only see things getting better. We also dedicated two days
in the reactivation, visiting a few members in neighborhoods that we don't
visit all too often.
The
food here continues to be tasty. Sister Jones spoiled us again last week with a
tower of pancakes. Yesterday we ate an all-carne dish, and I still am
diminishing the Christmas Stash, now that it's March.
My
companion is also really glad that we are doing awesome He is a tight
missionary, but has not had a lot of good companions nor many baptisms. I feel
proud to see that he can see the first fruits of his obedience and his true
effort. The Sisters are in process of emergency exchanges, so my district will
turn inside out. Oh, but the president did confirm to me that I will change
sectors for sure in near the end of March.
Dad,
how are the Boy Scouts treating you? I really enjoyed those years in scouting,
and I hope you are still enjoying helping other boys become better young men.
Let Cami know that I feel her stress of school, if I could help her I would.
Tell Ex-misionero Griffin that I still laugh every time I see a bag of
skittles, and thank him again for all of the jokes and the joy he gave me.
To
add to the letter, it rained yesterday and today. It was well needed, and even
though many people didn't make it to church and it changed our plans, we are
all very grateful for the moisture.
The
coolest part of the baptismal dates we have is that they are families that are coming
unto Christ, not just individuals. The gospel really does bless the home, and
we must remain diligent in order to receive the blessings of His mercy and His
Atonement. When one home becomes converted, it influences their other family
members, their neighbors, their ancestors, their friends, and their posterity.
I know that the family does last for the eternities, if we do all we can to
return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. I have this great privilege and
sacred responsibility to assist these families accomplish this ultimate goal. I
love the Lord, and I desire the salvation of my brothers and sisters here en
Tijuana. I know this is just a moment in the plan God has for every one of us,
and I hope to enjoy all of it.
Sincerely,
Elder
Tobler
