Well this was another great week! We have been doing well in this area. Last Monday we played basketball for a while and that was fun. On Tuesday we got fed by members and they made a Halloween dinner. They made mummy dogs ( pigs in a blanket), skeleton skulls hot pockets, this green punch, and fruit in a monster shape, and for dessert we had cat litter box with chocolate cake vanilla wafer crumbs on top and tootsie rolls representing the cat poop. It was tough to eat because it made me feel like I was eating sand. It was interesting. The members here treat us like we are celebrities! Everyone is so nice and feeds us a lot of food.
On Wednesday we biked to the top of our area up hill 2 miles and it was a big workout. Later we visited with a priest who is getting ready to go on a mission. It was fun to visit with him and answer his questions.
On Thursday we did exchanges with the zone leaders and that was fun! I was with elder Reimer from Washington state and he was recently in this area so it was fun for him to be back. We were sitting at our desks and Elder Reimer fell back in his chair and broke the chair. It was funny! But later that day we found a chair in the road that said free and we pushed it home.
On Friday it was a Korean elder's birthday and we went and got chicken at this store and it was good. It is still warm down here. We had our ward party on Friday and it was neat.
Sunday I had to speak in sacrament. I spoke on the importance of prophets and talked about how lately they have been stressing the importance of temple attendance. I love this quote by president Nelson from this last conference. "My dear brothers and sisters, the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety. Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater. I plead with you to take a prayerful look at how you spend your time. Invest time in your future and in that of your family. If you have reasonable access to a temple, I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy house—then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples." Temples are amazing places and I promise your lives will be better if you take time to go to the temple and the Lord will put out his blessings upon you.
Today was awesome - we played basketball for a long time and it was fun and I got a super great workout from it. We also played uno. It's fun playing basketball even though my companion is 6 foot 7. Also I heard the dodgers lost the world series so lots of people aren't happy around here but the gospel will cheer them up! I'm doing great. Have a wonderful week. I love you all! Have a great Halloween too!
Love,
Elder Toller
