Emergency Transfers!
Hi everyone! It has been a pretty good last week. Elder
M and I have been getting along great; he is a fantastic missionary.
So the week went by pretty fast; we don't have any big news,
just that the S family is progressing to their baptism! It has been
fantastic being able to work them through their doubts and struggles. We gave
them talks from the last general conference to read; the talk from President
Monson, and from President Uchtdorf; I read them again, and they are just
fantastic talks! I know that they will be able to recognize that these men are
servants of the Lord as they read and feel the Spirit testify.
Yesterday on P-day, we went all the way to Soacha to play
basketball and soccer, and then the sisters from the zone make burritos! It was
awesome. (pictures next week). However, we also got some surprising news: that
we had emergency transfers, and that I was leaving La Mesa! I was just ridiculously
sad at first, because I was excited to be able to spend the holiday season with
the members there, and because I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. So we left
to get my stuff all packed up! We got back to La Mesa really late, so we didn't
have time to use our whole hour of internet. So last night we visited President
R, José M (Elder's quorum president), and the D family to say
goodbye. Then we went home, I packed everything up, and we had to wake up nice
and early today to be able to get on the 6:00 bus that leaves La Mesa. I was
pretty sad to be going, but now I am in the ward Las Villas, which is in the
district of La Mesa, so I will be able to do interchanges with them to be able
to help Elder M learn the area better and to be able to see the families
there again.
Gotta go! I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints is the true church, the only one that has all of the things
that we need to be able to reach the eternal life. On Sunday Elder M and
I taught the class to everybody, and we talked about the difference between the
testimony and the conversion. I know that we all need to work toward our
personal conversion, making changed to live in accordance with the Gospel, and
that was we do it, God will bless us in ways we can't even imagine. I love you
all, have a great week!
Love,
Elder Toombs
