Elder Nathan Toombs's Adventures!: 4/21/14 Me voy!

Hola todos!

So we found out about transfers this morning...I am leaving Bosa! (already!) I will be going to zone Kennedy, in area Modelia. It is pretty close to where I am now, but that's ok. It is exciting to get to move! I feel a little mixed, as we have gotten several new investigators this week, and we have people that straight up want to get baptized, but I'll go where the Lord wants me to go!

This past week wasn't too eventful. We spent a lot of time getting to know the area, and the members here in the ward. It is kind of a good thing I am leaving, as there are a few members that are infatuated with me haha, but I will miss the area all the same.

On Thursday we celebrated my birthday in the night! I made hamburgers from scratch for the first time in my life (I had no idea what I was doing, but they turned out pretty well, and we ate cake! It was a good time.

I don't remember if I said it last week, but we have English classes every Saturday here! The leader of the district here, Elder Albrecht, is a gringo, and has been teaching for a while. It was cool to be able to teach English the past couple weeks!

Yesterday we gave talks in the ward. I based mine on the talk from Elder Gary E. Stevenson, about how life is like an olympic event, and I got a bunch of compliments on my Spanish! That always helps, but I really need to crack down on my studies, I could be progressing a lot faster.

Then today we went to the stake center and played...risk! It wasn't too bad, and while we were playing, the sister missionaries made food! How much better can it get! ;) quite a few of us are leaving, so it was good to meet together again.

So I had a good conversation with my companion during study time about the role of the holy ghost in giving us revelation, and how sometimes God just expects us to use our judgment to make a decision. My testimony has really grown of how prayers are answered! I know that God loves us enough to guide us in our lives, and it is incredible to see how these people can follow their little promptings to join the true church of Jesus Christ. Thank you all!

Love,

Elder Toombs
