Not too Hot!

Hello! This week has actually had some great weather, almost always with clouds, and it even rained a couple times! It isn't anything like Bogotá, I still haven't needed an umbrella, but I feel like I am back in Arizona where rain is just a miracle. The week went well, it wasn't quite like last week, but much better in visits than any week I had in Modelia. There are almost always people at home; it is like nobody works haha.

We have been working a lot with the family Pérez; they are less actives (The mom and grandma), and their oldest daughter, Alison, is 8 and hasn't been baptized yet. So we have been working with them to get the mom and grandma back and get the daughter baptized. The Sister missionaries had been in that area before, but never had much success with them; however, now that we are helping them, they went to church, and want to keep it up! And the grandma asked for a blessing to get through her smoking and coffee problem; in the past couple weeks, they have really found the desire to change.

The investigator that was trying to bible bash us ended up saying that God revealed to him all of the false prophets, which ended up including Thomas S. Monson, and us. Some people haha.

We got to visit a couple times with the exorcism family too. One of the sisters is a little snaky, but the others were showing real potential! I asked them at the end of a lesson that if there was a prophet on the earth today, what would they ask him, and when we passed by last night, they had some great questions, like why are there wars in the world, and what happens to children when they die. It is awesome to have the answers to their questions through the gospel of Jesus Christ!

One thing that had been happening frequently here is the power going out. The worst was last night, it went out as we were going to bed, and the thing is, you can't sleep here without a fan going, it is just too hot. But it came back pretty soon; I was able to sleep a little haha.

And today we went to play micro again! Thank goodness for p-day haha.

I hope you all have a good week! I am reminded so frequently about the power of the gift of the Holy Ghost; it is a great privilege to be able to walk about always with the guidance and comfort of God! I hope you all will do whatever you can to keep it with you at all times, it is worth it.

Love,

Elder Toombs
