Wow another week has gone by. Well this was a good week. On Tuesday we were biking around and it was getting a little late but we decided to stop by and visit Veronica and her kids and usually they aren't home Tuesdays but my companion had the thought to go visit them and I was like it's kind of late but we just did and we found them home. They really needed us to stop by and I'm thankful that we decided to stop and visit with them.
On Thursday we went to give a man a blessing in the hospital. We were running a little late and I was worried but we got to the hospital and this lady was there and said, "Elders I'm so glad to see you -can you give my mom a blessing? She just went into the hospital." The lady tried to get a hold of other people but no one answered. So we were there at the right time to help both people who needed a blessing. I know Heavenly Father is aware of what we will do each day and will put opportunities for us to serve others throughout the day. He knows where would be best for us to go and gives us opportunities to serve others as we go through our day.
Friday we were out biking and we were looking for this one guy but ran into this lady that lives in the house and she was super nice and had some great questions. We weren't able to find the guy, but we found this lady and she enjoyed our visit with her.
Saturday we did exchanges and Elder Himmelberg came with me to my area and we had a successful day. It's neat to learn from other missionaries and see how they do missionary work. Sunday I had to give a talk about the first vision and the other elders gave talks on faith, repentance, and baptism and holy ghost. It was alright. This guy just out of the blue showed up to our church these past two Sundays and he loves church. He is a solid guy and really is smart about religion and the Bible. We will continue to work with him. Here in Pomona we often get random people just showing up at church, but they aren't always interested in our church.
Also,last night we had a thought to visit this recent convert and family who we couldn't get a hold of the husband in a while, but he was home and we had a great visit with them. I know that following the promptings we get truly can bless many people's lives. I really have had many experiences with that lately. I like what someone in church said about promptings, that if you are unsure if it's good or not, try it out and follow it and see what happens. It never hurts to try. Today we had a zone activity and we played lots of sports and that was fun. The picture only has a few people in it because some people left early. This has been a good week. Have a wonderful day and week everyone!
Love,
Elder Toller
