D'day from MorrisTown

a large howdy to yall.

 First a thanks to Brother Watts for the christmas card that he sent. Also thanks to Sister Flanary and Sister Wells(?) for the letters also. Morristown is holding down just fine. Other than the work. We have two investigators who we picked back up and other than that  really nothing is going on. There was an earthquake. 4.5 but i didnt feel it because we were in the car. 

Also I have learned a little more hillbilly/redneck talk. check out this word. Jeet. It means "Did you eat?" or "have you eaten already" haha. reminds me of my first day when i like to talk to spanish people more than the deep southerners. Johnny asked me "if there are  twentysix "twenisic" sheep and one of them dies how many sheep are there?" i said twenty five but the answer was nineteen. he said twenty sick sheep not twenty six.. jaja.

Other memories. My last companion Elder Harwood, said to brother Roman, on the way to an appointment. Ten cuidado, el policia me perdio aqui" which he thought ment, be careful. the cops pulled me over here. but really it means the cops gave birth do me. :) life is good as you can see. 

My compaion and i have been having a few afflictions (struggles) but then again who doesnt. The work isnt easy for us and it sure wasnt easy when christ was on the cross. We have not been able to find anyone to teach really, the ward members are cool but the people that we have tracted into don want nothing to do with us. 

When we allow him to help us out all will be well.

PS 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Alma 26:27 Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.

The real thing to keep in your mind is from the book of Nahum chapter 1 verse 9 i believe.
"What do you suppose against the lord, he will make an utter end? affliction shall not rise up a second time"

Much love Elder Toomey

"Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation." Habbakkuk 3:18

and Alma 26:12 & 17 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever. Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who has been mindful of this people

Morristown

New Address:
622 S Liberty Hill Rd
Morristown, TN 37813

The area i am in now is huge. Its over 100 miles from e to w. It goes all the way to the North Carolina border. The ward is pretty good. Its about 230 people. We have sunday school in spanish and next week we get to translate sacrament meeting in spanish. That will be fun. We went over to hmn gonzalez house. We talked for about an hour. (well she talked mostly) but i could understand 97% so thats cool. 

I miss Loudon. That branch was awesome. all the people. Fishers, Carr, Roman, Elkins, Roner, Howard, Haskels, Pulver, Ramseys and especially our investigators David, Dewayne, Deah and Rodger. I got pictures with most of them (see below)

We only have 2 investigators (that we know of, we were white washed) but we are going hard to find more. The ward hasnt reached out yet but were new so they might come soon. 

My new companion is Elder Derrick Ready (pronounced i like to READ+y) He is from downy California, close to LA. He seems like an alright guy a lot similarities, as well as differences, but we work well together. The lessons are in good unity.

My computer time is up but see y'all next week.

Love Elder Toomey

Scripture of the week (I memorized my 200th scripture this week)
John 14:27
Peace i leave with you, my peace i give unto you. not as the world giveth give i unto you. let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
La paz os dejo, mi paz os da. yo no os da como el mundo os da. no se turbe vuestro corazon ni tenga miedo.

Give it a try. See if he will not open up the blessings.

Peace out GIrl Scout.

The days here in Loudon are done with. I am getting transfered tomorrow. Thats not too cool. We have to say our goodbyes today. There are so many people and no time at all to talk with them.

We had a baptism on sunday. :) "Al" Cole Hall, the ramseys friend got purified. I am going to miss him and the ramsey family. Pics will come next week.

The work here in loudon is better than ever. We have been so blessed. There were 5 investigators at church this week. David, Dewayne, & Rodger say that they will continue to come everyweek. Sooner or later they will join in on this great work.

Hmmm. Not to much more exciting happening. Well, we went to the apple store yesterday and played with the new ipod nano and ipad mini... they are cool. Also i heard that the jazz are doing good and the lakers are sucking. Thats awesome. They say BYU didnt do to bad. 9-4 or something. Tennessee's football team is probably 2-11.. jaja.

Well Thats all.

Much Love, Elder Tui

Two cool scriptures.

MORMON 6:20. But behold, ye are gone, and my sorrows cannot bring your return.

MORMON 8:20. Behold what the scripture says—man shall not smite, neither shall he judge; for judgment is mine, saith the Lord, and vengeance is mine also, and I will repay.

A) Dont frett about the past. its over.
B) Dont waste your time on revenge to those who have done you wrong... Karma (aka god) will repay.
