Hey Everyone, you may have noticed but I've gotten into this bad habit, but if I humble myself I can become better (Ether 12:27) wish me luck, because my parents have been praying for that since I was little and yet here I am. Anywho here's the highlights:
Broken phones, but not foot or car - so a lot of stuff happened this week. First and foremost I threw my companions phone as a joke and accidentally broke it. It's hilarious because my phone is also half broken but we're making it work. I also thought I broke my foot because it's been 2 months and still hasn't healed, but I guess that just means I'm no longer a kid. And then this whole time car brakes have been grinding so we took the car in, they reported nothing, and now it works just fine. Just wack
Kenny - he's one of our new friends. The Sisters in Spokane (they know Aidan) found him on Facebook, taught him once, and then the next day added us to the lesson video call and left. It was honestly surprising how fast they did it. We talked and then met up on Thursday for Boba. He's a cool guy, who's just seeing what our church is about but he's very willing to do our invitations which is awesome. Wasn't at church this week sadly
Magic - my companion got me and a couple other Elders into Magic the Gathering (card game) a couple of weeks ago. Since then he's gotten all but 3/18 to get decks and play and we've found 3 people from going to stores and either playing or talking about it. Nerds are awesome
Jay - Saturday was fun and this time we read Matthew 5 with him. It was a super cool study and it was interesting to hear his point of view on some of the verses. We also got to explain what it means by salt, he's like: "so God wants us to be salty?"
Yes, but also not that way. He's a great guy to study with
Elder Day - went on exchanges after Jay and tried to make a video of people telling us what they were grateful for. We literally talked with so many people and they all said no except for 2. A little sad, but I also found out that day that Elder Day has main character superpowers. It started off as a joke but every time we walked to a bus stop the bus appeared right around the corner. It was crazy.
Spiritual thought - we were reading John 8 about the women caught in adultery and the question was asked what would we think about Jesus if we had no clue who he was. I thought that was a super cool question. In that scripture you have rabbis, teachers, leaders; coming up to a man, calling him Master, and asking him if they should go against the law of Moses or not. And with just a few words he turns the angry mob away.
It was cool to think about the amount of power He held, how evident it was, and how he truly loved everyone. The type of leader and Savior you want. That's Jesus Christ.
I hope your scripture study is drawing you closer to Him because that's where true joy is.
Love ya lots, Elder Tolman
