Dear Family,
This has been a amazing week for us here in Santiago. First
off we had to travel for like the whole week to go to our meetings and Zone
trainings and because our area is the farthest away we have to get up at like 3
to go. Ugh that killed doing that for
three days straight.
So we didn't have a lot of time to go out and really work in
our area but we somehow managed it and we actually did pretty good for the week
which was awesome. More blessing to
come. It has been an interesting change with my companion. I remember coming to this area the first day
and my companion was just telling me all about this area and was a little down
because of how much pressure there is here and how complicated it is as well
and that he hasn't had a baptism here since he got here. But I felt that I
should tell him to not to worry about it we are going to kill it here and we
are going to baptize more than anything. I have been blessed in my mission of
baptizing every change except for my first month of training and not every
missionary can say that even in this mission.
But for this change for a moment I really thought that we
were not going to baptize and that did upset me but I also was trying to accept
it and just do the will of God and it will always be on his time but I have
learned the importance to keep going and working hard no matter the situation
good or bad. And we have been blessed literally the very last day of changes we
had a baptism and not only that he is the first man to be baptized here since
2012. God does watch out for his children but always remember that obedience=
the right for blessing and miracles but that doesn't mean you will always get
them in the way you want or expect but the will come.
It has been great to work in a area like this and just to
see the changes that are taking place here in Santiago no matter how crazy it
is here but also a privilege to really work with the pure descendants of Lehi
and complete the prophecies that are recorded in the book of Mormon.
But also I don't have changes obviously hah I will be here
for a while that's one of the rules but neither does my companion which is the
first time that I won't have changes and also a companion for more than 1
change which is really weird!! But it should be interesting . But i am fine I am trying to change my mind
to accept that I will be here for more than 3 changes. And I just completed 11
months in the mission TODAY..... the mission is going by too fast. By next month I will have a year. It is stressing me out haha but I am loving
it.
Love you all and have fun in the real world haha
Love
Elder Toma
