Dear Family,
All is really well as always. It seems right now we are
really busy. We hopefully will end this
change with more baptisms this week. This
change went by so fast! It's just craziness.
I feel like there is no time for
anything ever! Supposedly I will be
working with my President this week so that should be exciting. It's weird that he leaves in like 2 months.
We got to watch General Conference in the Stake Center and
then later in our church and ALL of it was in Spanish!!!! But luckily I can
understand it now. YESSS!!! But at the
Stake conference they also had a room for English which was much better. It
definitely is better in English just I like to hear the actual voices of the
speakers. I really liked General
Conference I don't know which was my favorite talk. I liked a lot of them. A lot was about obedience. But I really liked
Elder Holland's talk about Jesus Christ being a soft God or an Easy God and that's
how people want him to be because nobody wants a God that demands much. I liked
that a lot because that's how people are here.
They talk of Jesus like they know him but they know nothing about him; that he is just all lovey dovey and forgiving
and yeah that's all true, he taught with love but he also taught the truth that
if your eye offends you pull it out that if you break my commandments after
knowing me it's better that you never did. If people really want to know God they have to
keep his commandments (1 John 2:3-4) That he came here to make people better,
that they can follow his path that is narrow and straight and not to say,
"All is well is Zion!" Because
that is false and there's only one person that wants you to believe that.
Man we have had some
headaches with some investigators. One
hermana we talked to for a long time. She
has a lot of problems and just trying to get her to realize how to fix them and
that she doesn't want to get baptized right now and this and that . And another
that just doesn't want to do anything
anymore so really just trying to listen to them and figure it out what they
need. Back in the day when you had to serve a mission how did you teach was it
all scripted or did you do it all yourselves?
Ugh next week we will see what will happen with changes.
If I will leave or stay or get someone new or what
One of our baptisms went through this week which was just a miracle. She has been talking to the missionaries for
over a year including one of my companions. And my companion and I have only
been talking to her for over a week. But
she was definitely ready. Her name is Karol and she is 23 years old. We have
definitely been blessed. We have had
baptisms every single week
In answer to Conner's question: I absolutely LOVE GUAEMALA and the people. I have had over 15 baptisms by now. I have also included some pictures of my
apartment now.
Love you all!!
Elder Toma
