Week 12: The Church is TRUE


Hello all you wonderful people!!
 
Scripture for the week Alma 48:17 and Joshua 1:9.
 
I always find it very funny that even on dads weeks to email mom still writes more. Ha i love it though, you guys are sooooo great. I am very lucky to have such a great support system back home in the wonderful west. Yes i love the west. I always said i would live away from the west, but the more i see how things work out here, i feel i will always be a western boy. Or Wisconsin of course, but i will never be able to live in the east. It is great here and i love it, but i will never want to raise a family here.
 Brother Gregory passed the sacrament yesterday. I can not express how wonderful i felt inside when he handed me the bread, i almost cried. I gave him my laZee Q hat, so he will have something to always remember me by. Today is his day off, so we will probably end up going up to chill with him for a bit ust because we love him a whole freakin bunch, he may teach us how to skin beavers, so that could be pretty wicked. Sister Gregory was worried that the picture text might freak you guys out, but i assured her that you guys would all love it very much. She says she loves getting them of Elder Gregory. Elder Gregory was out 5 months before he had to come home for surgery. And Sister Gregory told me the other day that she knew i would be coming to this mission, and this area. It was really cool to hear her say that, so i now truly do know that i was called hear for a reason.

Last week you asked if we knock doors alot. The answer to that is YES. We knock doors about 50% of the time and then we work with lots of less actives, and then our few investigators. Dalts new assignment reminds me alot of my mission. We have so much less active work to do. This week i believe we taught 7 less active lessons. We get very few member refferals, so that makes it pretty hard. People in New Engand are very non neighborish. Most of them dont even know who their neighbors are. But the good thing is the ward loves us, so they do feed us alot. Last night we had lamb stew with a less active family. Lets just say i am not a big fan of lamb, but i ate it like it tasted like heaven.

My interview with president was sooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. The spirit was so strong. And he told me some pretty incredible things. It is so cool to me the revelation that he is able to recieve on my behalf.

Sounds like church is going well back in the linrose ward, it has been such a huge change going from my big home ward to my little tiny ward here in vermont, the people are different, but the church is still true, so always remember that.
We did not drop keith. We got there and remembered that is was his birthday, and he was having a realy hard day, so it was not the right time to drop him, but he is still not progressing at all. But we just keep plugging along.

I got an awesome package full of cheese this week, and i loved it sooooo much. There is a creamery like tillamook real close to me here. It is called Cabot Creamery, i havent tried Cabot cheese yet, because i bought some, and then the next day my timmamook came in the mail!

The exchange with elder uhl this last week was good. He has only been out for 3 weeks, so he is still very green. This week i am exchanging with elder walker, he and i are pretty much the same person so im wicked stoked for exchange.

Spring is right around the corner here in vermont. They call it mud season here, because it gets super muddy. Dirt roads here are literally just dirt roads, not gravel, just dirt. Yeah we had some wild times in them the other day.

Well i hope i have answered all the stuff, i love you guys so muchly. Keep me my investigators in your prayers.
The church is true.
Love always elder toner
