a short timeline of the week

Hello everyone.

Another good week

Just going to throw in the highlights of this week.

Its cold here. Real cold. So cold the cows are putting their heads in the hay to stay warm. 
Not only that. The economy is terrible. and Gas is so high! Men are running their tank down and having to walk to the station to fill up a Gatorade bottle.
--- please note --- this week we saw two gas stations just blocks away. one was at $3.59 the other was 3.19 so watch and buy cheap ---- 
and worst of all. no one can understand our Spanish. We can ask them what church they go to and in we reply we may say... oh the apostate church.

That's just a glimpse of the cool things that i get to enjoy here. 

We have been able to give so many blessing in this last week (probably 4 or 5) One lady had a stroke at church and fell over. Now okay. So overall its been a fun week.

We had a Three-Way this week also. It was really good. I guess its originated from Cincinnati Ohio. So maybe my father had one on his mission. Its some fancy chili (that includes cinnamon) on spaghetti with cheese.
 
Another random note is that the sacrament bread is homemade here. And its kinda sweet, which is different. but its still bread so yup.

Keep up with the veggies. haha. well ya. the pistachio ice cream isnt so hot. i say keep with the banana.

thats all she wrote.

Love Elder Toomey

"Come unToomey" the Savior said...

Come unToomey all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

- Matthew 11:28

Heyyyy. This week has been pretty cool. We got to teach lots of different people, One less active who just moved here is getting married next month. We were talking to her about if there was anything we could do to help her out and she. Mentioned that she needed someone to perform the ceremony.... And since we can do that she wants me to marry them!!! That's gonna be cool. She also said that she will come to church in the coming weeks, but she just got over breast cancer so we are waiting for. The implant to come in. Her husband is not a member so maybe we will get to teach him and all will be good. We will get a baptism here soon.

The other family that we are focusing on is Chris and tessie. We Found them oym-ing. They had been taught by missionaries just over a year ago but had never read or attended church. They were the ones that watched Joel olsteen with us and promised us (twice) that they would pro to church.... But of course they did not show up yesterday... Hum. 

My companion and I are doing pretty good, although he is the type of guy that gained privileges by going on a mission. For instance... I have watched more pg-13 movies in Spanish than he has in English. He never drank pop before coming out here... And when he would go trick or treating as a youngin he used the candy he got to fill up the bowl for his family. We find out crazy things about his family every day...

It snowed!!!! (sorry this letter is jumpy I forgot my planner so I am Just lifting of things by memmory. Also I am typing on an iPad because all the libraries are closed due to mlk day today. We made a ill snow man (pictures coming in the next email.

So I made a duct tape wallet cause I lost Mine. It's not bad (pics later) but umma make a new one, I figured out a new technique to make 3d pictures with the duct tape.

My dad said on skype that I should try blue bell ice cream and its way good. I got the banana one so if your ever in ten get some. (Check Walgreens its cheaper)

I started to retread the Book of Mormon. I'm only to Josiah but I have found so many things I don't remember reading that have helped me with my knowledge and efforts towards this work.

Be a good boy,

Elder Toomey
