Week #9

Hola everyone,

This was my last week with Elder Groll since he is headed home tomorrow. I will get my new companion tomorrow. On Tuesday we went on splits with the zone leaders to go and tract this trailer park area. The zone leaders know Spanish so just in case we tracted into Spanish speaking people we had at least one person that spoke Spanish on splits. It was definitely an interesting experience and we met different kinds of people. Then later that day I had the opportunity of going to the Los Angeles temple with Elder Groll because someone he baptized was going through for the first time. That is a really neat temple and apparently it's one of the bigger temples. I really love going to the temple and it is such an amazing place. Wednesday we mainly did a lot of tracting. Thursday we had district meeting and Elder Groll had his funeral since he was leaving soon. Friday we went on a blitz with the other members in our district and went to Claremont and visited people in that area. Saturday we got transfer calls and they said I would be staying in Las Flores but there would be another companionship coming to this ward. So it will be good having 4 elders in this ward. We are splitting the ward north and south and I will cover the south area which is Pomona. It will be a good area because we mostly already worked down in Pomona a lot and not much in La Verne. Sunday was good! James who we are teaching brought his friend and his friend who really liked church so we will start teaching him. Today President Wells made us breakfast because our district won this competition we had. We had the most members present, lessons taught, baptismal dates and investigators and we were assigned to focus on one each week and we did the best overall as a district. I will be moving to a new pad (apartment) tomorrow that is down closer to Pomona. The LA county fair is going on in our area and it is good because lots of people come so we get to contact lots of people. Hope everyone has a great day and great week! 

Love,

Elder Toller
