Hello Everyone!!!
This has literally been one of the most insane weeks probably of my entire mission. I don't even know what made it so crazy but it was :). And just looking at our planner for next week, it's gonna get crazier! Nutty!!!
Super cool thing happened this week. So we went to go check on the V__ U___ family early on in the week and they were telling us that they decided to take some of the extra mothers day treat from church to one of their neighbors whose husband passed away a few months ago. She is getting ready to move out soon because she cant afford her home anymore so she was having a big yard sale but was super overwhelmed by everything that had to be done. Amber took us over right there to introduce us and we were able to offer our services. Fast Forward two days and there we are putting price tags on everything in her garage and arranging it beautifully. You would have loved it Mother. So many antiques!!! I was just in heaven. And she was so appreciative and said we could come by any time. Service works miracles. It's the truth!!!
Lets see, what else happened this week. I went on exchanges with Hermana Englehart this week in Benton City! So fun! It was amazing to see how the light in her eyes just shone brighter and brighter throughout the day. They serve in a tough little town. They have less that 1,000 people to try to share the gospel with so you can bet that everyone has heard of the church or taken lessons at some point. They were a little discouraged about the work but as we counseled together about new finding ideas that are a little out of the box, they just got so excited to get going! It was so fun to be a part of that excitement and we even found a new investigator that night! 4th floor last door for sure! God is preparing people in EVERY area. Of that I am sure.
Crazy story from this week! So we went to go contact J___ ( a referral from the elders) and she lives in the apartment complex that's super hard to get into. Tight security ya know? Its amazing how God puts people in just the right spot so that we can talk to His children. We went up to go talk with her and she welcomed us in openly and set up a return appointment. We met her husband there but he didn't look all that excited to see us. He actually left as we were talking with her. We're walking down the hall to head back to the car and he comes out of the stairwell and asks us to walk with him. Sister Cram is so good at keeping cool but you can bet my heart was beating so fast. He closes the door behind him in the stairwell and starts telling us that he is getting ready to leave for an evangelical mission. Somethin' about how he has to go serve God for 7 years to earn his wife like Jacob. Here's where it gets crazy. You can bet we thought that he was going to tell us to get out and never come back. WRONG! He says that he has been praying God would send someone to help their move to Richland go smoothly and the Elders showed up the next day. Then he prayed that God would send someone to take care of his wife and bring her out of the dark place that she's in, and we show up. God is truly so aware of each and everyone of his children and he truly does answer prayers. I know this is true with all my heart!
I am so grateful to be able to be an instrument for God. I love being in tune with His promptings and being in just the right places at just the right times. It is an honor to be able to serve my God and my King. I love this work. Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support!
Love ya! Till next week!
Sister Tobler
