So this week we had intercambios again, and I was able to go on splits with the new companion of Elder Johnson, Elder Grimaldi! And the cool part is, Elder Grimaldi is in his first transfer! Which means I had more time in the mission than him! I felt so old.
This week has been a little slow, like the past few. We had to give the lección franca to a few investigators, and we are really running low on lessons. We had one investigadora, Alba, getting ready for her baptism for last Saturday, but in our lesson on Thursday, she got a call from her sister saying that they were about to take her father off of life support. It was good to be with her during this time to testify and help her better understand the Plan of Salvation, but then the had to leave Bogota on Friday... and doesn´t get back until tomorrow. But she is doing well, and definately still wants to be baptized this Saturday!
We have also been working with her son, Johan, but we hit a little bump last week when we found out he smokes (He is 28). So yesterday we had a really good lesson with him about the word of wisdom, and he said he would like a blessing, so I gave my second blessing in spanish! Using "tu" instead of "usted" is way difficult for me, but it worked out well.
One more thing! We have a small mall near our house, and in the back there is a Juan Valdez Café (like Starbucks here in Colombia)... and they have oreo cheesecake! Yes, it is wonderful.
Well I don´t have much more to say. I know that this church is true, and that I am on a mission to spread the fulness of the true gospel of Jesus Christ! It is amazing to be able to see people using the Atonement in their lives, and I really appreaciate the opportunity to learn more of how I can use it in mine.
Love,
Elder Toombs
