Family!
This week was really, really busy! Let’s just say that my companion and I were so busy that we didn’t have companion study one time this week! We literally had something to be doing every single second of the day!
This week was one of the hardest working weeks ever. In my new area...it’s pretty hard. We have no baptism dates and no one is progressing, so we sat down and I told my comp straight up that what we had is no good and we need to find more people ready to progress. So we started earlier in the morning working and came home later. I literally have never been so tired in all my life. There were 3 days straight where we came home, ate 3 peanut butter and jellys then left 15 minutes later! But hey it was all worth it, we found 27 new investigators!!!! That’s my record so far in the mission, so hopefully out of all of these there will be some ready to accept the gospel. We worked a lot with the members, that helped us a ton. My last area the comp and I put 20 baptism dates on the books. Considering when I started, we only had 3 that is pretty good. So yes, this area is making me go crazy!
Good news!, two of the family's in Trebol that I worked with just got baptized on Saturday! I was really bummed I couldn’t be there but oh well, at least they got baptized.
The other day we were walking down the street at 6:35 in the morning to go pick up our clothes and we are about to cross the road and we see this car just flying towards us, so we kinda scoot to the other side of the street, then we realize that he is about to hit a light pole and he’s not slowing down! Then BAM!!!!!! he hit this pole going about 40 m.p.h his whole engine is almost cut in half. ( it was like a new Toyota Camry too) . So me and comp go running over to see if we can help. We see the wheels start going again but the car can’t get over a huge rock and was lifted off the ground so it could’nt drive away. I start slapping the glass of the car to get the person out . We couldn’t see him because the tint was so dark. He finally comes out , the dude is wasted out of his mind! He starts walking in circles saying he had a head ache...that’s guatemala for you :) so me and my comp just look at each other and laugh and keep walking to the clothes lady. haha we saw him again today and he was drunk, they just don’t learn their lessons!
I love you guys and I am so glad to be a missionary here in Guatemala, I love having so many miracles happen and so many stories to tell! Continue to pray for those seeking the truth, I hope all is well, I miss you and love you so much!

Looks like Elder Toolson is enjoying a wonderful mission experience. My son Jake Asdel is going to the GCN mission and will be reporting to the MTC in April. We are excited, and love to look at all the coll blogs. I wanted to share one quick story with you. I served in the Chile Concepcion misssion, and was picked up at the airport when arrived by Elder Andy Toolson. I assume he is realted to you guys. He was a great mentor to me as a Greenie. Small world. Good luck and enjoy
