Hey all,
This was another good week! On Wednesday evening me and my companion taught the young women how to do family history and indexing. There is a really neat video from the apostles called the Promised Blessings of Family History. There are some neat blessings they promise us in that video about doing family history. It made me want to do family history more often. On Thursday we went on splits with some people in the elders quorum. I went with a really nice guy and we went and visited a few people in the evening. On Friday we were able to teach Veronica and her kids and were able to set a baptismal date with her and one of her daughters. It was a super powerful lesson about the restoration and everyone could feel the spirit strong. On Saturday we street contacted a lady getting out of her car and it turned out she was the original yellow power ranger from the TV shows. She is a super nice lady and it was fun to talk to her. We have a return appointment tomorrow with her. We went out with a priest later that day to a few lessons and that was fun. On Sunday we had a "choose your favorite hymn sacrament meeting". So if you wanted to you would go up and say your favorite hymn and why you like it and then we would sing one verse. That was a neat sacrament meeting because I hadn't heard of that before. We had some of our great friends who we're teaching come to church which was amazing! James who we are teaching brought his friend to church. Monday we had zone conference. It was neat but kind of long. We saw a talk by Elder and Sister Christopherson about the gospel scholar. They talked about how this is a once in a lifetime experience we are experiencing now. They also talked about the importance of studying scriptures daily for 1 hour each day. He said, "You are lucky to have that much time to read the scriptures so don't sleep through that time." Scripture study is awesome and I enjoy every minute of it. Then we saw a talk by President Ballard called Faith to Find the Elect. It was good and it talked about talking to everyone you see in order to find the elect who are ready for the gospel. I want to do better at talking to everyone I pass by on the streets. Today we went to a driving range nearby and that was fun! Have a great day!
Love,
Elder Toller
