WOAH!!! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!! Everyday this week I feel like I woke up saying, “I love ________(insert name of our investigator!)” They are all SO amazing!!! AH!!  So, I’ll start off with our referral from Church Headquarters, Ellen K.  She already wants to be baptized, wants her roommates to be Mormon, and wants to go on a mission!! haha She’s amazing.  Her best friend is a Mormon from Colorado and they drove to Texas and back and had a lot of time to talk.  She said they listened to conference, and she said it was her favorite type of sermons!  She loves horses and the outdoors, so we totally connected!  I love how Heavenly Father is so smart at how we are able to find the people who we can relate to as missionaries.  Because we represent Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ knows how to relate to people better than anyone else.  So he hand picks missionaries (and the members around them) for the people who are ready.  I totally believe that.  So many people I have met have epilepsy or a similar interest or connection somehow!

We waited for Bruno at the bus stop for an hour and a half late to our lesson with a member.  We were able to teach her, but  we told Bruno that we had to leave. But he said he’d wait for us to get back from our other appointment.  So he waited for us for an hour and a half too!  Then Bruno was so giggly during our lesson because he just knew everything was right.  He knew that he lived with Heavenly Father before he was born, but never knew anyone else believed it!  He said he was going to stay up all night reading more and writing more questions… 🙂

We had a Trunk-or-Treat activity and lots of non-members came!  Referrals!!!!!!! yes.  Then Becky told us she felt super relaxed at church (even though her life is insanely crazy right now) and thinks she will be baptized with her son on December 7th!

We taught seminary, went out to eat at the college with a less-active, made bows with the relief society president, had AMAZING EXCHANGES with the other set of Sisters in our District, and just had the spirit with me all week regardless of my imperfections!  Someone asked me what prescription I was on, and I said, “Repentance RX!!”  Take as needed!! 🙂

Repentance is the key to happiness. 🙂 🙂 🙂  I love Heavenly Father so much for listening to me.  I love Jesus Christ for filling people’s empty souls with Hope!  And I love our mission!  WE JUST MADE 408 Baptism goal.  I jumped up and down and the person below us in the apartments banged on the roof….sorry!  But I just know Heavenly Father’s hand is in this work.

Love you all so much!

Sister Tobias 🙂 🙂 🙂
