Family!!!
Hey remember how I told you I was going to Trebol 2...yeah well I lied! I just supposed I was going there since I had a change and they were making a new area. I even found a huge house with hammocks and every thing. It was so sweet! Then I got my changes for real...haha I am in Poptun Peten! It’s about 3 hours away from my last area in Trebol. here it is a lot cloudier and rainier. The branch is actually really strong. There is about 100 people who show up every week. The branch President is 24 and a return missionary so he helps us out a lot! my comp is a gringo named Elder Bishop, he is from Orem Utah. He has about 6 months on the mission. He is a really great missionary so I am excited to work this change here with him.( He’s just not really my type of people, he is very smart haha and hasn’t really experienced life so we cant really relate any thing when we talk. So far things are just a little quiet with us but I am pretty sure things will get a lot better.
Monday we had zone conference, President Torres was there and Elder Martino (who is from the 70). This conference was probably the best one yet! . Elder Martino is an amazing speaker and he spoke about working hard in the area and with all the members. I took a lot of notes so I am hoping I can go back and look at them to remind me what I need to keep doing. It really helped to keep going strong in the work and to really use the members.
So this change me and my comp are going to work with the members every day (hopefully). We didn’t have interviews because we have a new schedule where one change we have conference and the other we have interviews.
This p-day was fun, we went to this place and we played pool and ping pong for the first time in my mission!!!!!! ii was sick. I am a little rusty at both of them but every one else was horrible so everyone thought I was amazing haha:) Then we ate at a little restaurant and bought some ice cream, so it was a good day for me!
My house seems huge because last change there were 4 elders there and now only two. No, We don’t have a heater on the water (almost all houses in Peten do not have a heater) and it was seriously like the dirtiest house I have ever seen so me and my comp cleaned it for almost 4 hours this morning! haha I have turned into a clean freak on the mish it’s so weird!
Altogether things are amazing and the area looks like it has some potential. I am excited to be here and love my mission so much. I love you guys and hope all is well !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Elder Toolson
