Dearest Gorgeous Desendants of Adam (AND Eve),

 I love you all! I hope that you are enjoying the miracles that have happened on my mission thus far! 🙂 Cuz HERE ARE A BUNCH MORE!! 🙂
 We went on an exchage to Carthage, Illionois this week and I got to extend TWO baptismal invites and met a new TOTAL GOLDEN investigator! 🙂 Listen to this….Liz’s little brother is on a mission in Africa and he converted when he was like 18 or 19. He’s getting home in April, so she wanted to learn more about what he was teaching to other people. She was adorable and had a sweet Tennesse accent, so we got along just dandy! Her mom also just started taking discussions and are both really getting closer to understanding and accepting! I just know that I am SO BLESSED that I got to help answer a prayer by her little brother serving in Africa. I’m sure he’s been praying for a long time for that to happen! We also knocked on a door in a trailer park and this lady Immediately let us in…which NEVER HAPPENS!! She said she’s been looking for a church that doesn’t teach “the words of men!” We were like, “Welp! Congratulations…It found YOU!!!’ Haha She also said she’d like to be baptised! 🙂 Hopefully I’ll get to hear about their progress later on if I get transfered there in the future….

We were teaching a less active member with Cerebral Palsy, named Tara C. Her dad is a chain smoker, and no one else in the family are members. But today, Her Dad, Dale, came in and started talking with us. First of all…she’s had missionaries for like 3 years and he’s never talked to them before because he says he doesn’t believe in churches! He started asking us a whole bunch of questions about the apostacy and the Bible. So we told him we’d come back with an awesome talk that can answer like all of his questions about what happened after the Apostles died (“The Apostacy” by Hyrum Smith…It’s AMAZING!!!). We came over again yesterday,and gave hime a small lesson but there were a bunch of people over and caused a bit of a distraction. So he told us that he wants to go to Church on Tuesday for a lesson so that he won’t get distracted!!! WHATTTT??!!! WE almost jumped out of our seats! Hehe so we are so excited and we’ll let you know how it goes! 🙂

 I just love pre- teenage year old boys! Haha I’m not bein creepy, but they are so innocent and helpful! We were riding our bikes to a potential’s apartment and these two 13 and 14 year old boys started showin off by poppin wheelies on their bikes! They were the coolest kids too!! They thought we were crazy that we were from Utah, wore helmets and dresses, and rode bikes! So we gave them pictures of Jesus and asked them if the’re family would want to learn more. They hopped on their bikes and said, “YEAH!!! My sister TOTALLY wants to come to church!!!” And we met a whole new family that way! Also, little Nolan J. is 13, and He is the one that is keeping the Janda family CONVINCED that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. Hehehe 🙂

For all my lady friends, if you didn’t watch the Relief Society Broadcast…please do! Omgoodness… I cried through the whole thing! President Eyring did too. Hahaha jk. 🙂 But really…I had black makeup smeared down my face and I didn’t even care. I LOVE THE ATONEMENT!!!! We are everything because of the Atonement. We are nothing without it!! 🙂 I am on this mission because of the immense grattitude I feel for the atonment! 🙂 I hope you all can feel the amazing power of it this week as you strive to repent daily, and rejoice in the great blessings He has supplied you with! 🙂

 

Anyways, Enjoy CONFERENCE!!!! I AM SOOO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THE PROPHET AFTER TELLING SO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT HIM0!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Please take notes and pray for something you need answered. Your question WILL get answered if you listen for the spirit in the message. 🙂

Love you all sooo much!

Sister Tobias! 🙂
