Dear Family
This week started out terrible but then by the time we hit
Saturday the miracles started to arrive.
We found many people to teach that are excited to hear more
about the Gospel, Sunday also was such a great day, had the opportunity to teach
more families that are just so ready to receive the gospel.
My companion is such a great missionary but he has learned
so much with me, when he was back at home he made lots of bad decisions he
said and when he talked to his bishop, the bishop told him "serve a
mission" and when he talked with his stake president he received the same
answer "serve a mission"
So he did what they told him to do, he didn’t want to serve
though because he had a girlfriend and his mom has cancer and he wanted to take
care of her and also she has a baby that is only 11 months old that she is
taking care of.
When he went through his training he only had companions
that weren’t a big help, they all just encouraged him to be disobedient. When
he became companions with him he already wanted to change and I told him that I
would help him be obedient. This last week was partially really difficult
because his mom emailed him telling him that her cancer has gotten worse and
that if she gets sick she could die.
This week we went to our zone conference with president
Taylor. He told me that he was going to talk to the president for some help.
When we got there the president didn’t interview anyone, just my
companion,
My companion never told the president about anything and I didn’t
either but the president already knew! so he called in my companion Elder
Lescano and already had written what he wanted to say to him. My companion was
amazed by the revelation that the president had received and the biggest thing
that help my companion is what the president said to him "Be righteous and
have exact obedience, and the Lord shall bless your family"
This week has already been better and we have had more
success, and my companion has seen the blessings that have come from our obedience
and from not quitting after two weeks of almost nothing.
n the zone conference President talked about lots of good
things about second chances and about taking everything day by day, it helped
me a lot and gave me a boost to just continue working my hardest.
Say hi to everyone for me
Miss you guys
Love
Elder Toma
