This
has been another great week. We don't have a ton of investigators, but
they can meet fairly often. We've been blessed to be decently busy
meeting with them and helping them make good progression. We've also
been focusing a lot on helping the members prepare to bring someone to a
big fireside on June 1st that Elder Christofferson will be coming to.
It's a pretty cool opportunity for the members here because it has been
24 years since an apostle or prophet has visited 광주 (Gwangju), the city I
am in now. We are super excited!
It
will also be held the in the big new building in Gwangju that they are
almost done building. We are combining wards on May 11th and will meet
in the new building together on May 18th. Fun stuff!!
My
companion, Elder Kwon is doing great and I love serving with him. He is
really good with working with members and investigators and is just a
selfless person. He's a great example of how to serve God with all of
our heart, might, mind, and strength. He's also a stud at soccer! He
played for a league in France for a year because he's pretty much pro.
He's awesome!
I know that
God truly love His children. Sometimes when I'm riding on a bus or
walking down the street, I try to imagine if I were able to take upon my
self all the struggles, frustrations, or trials of the people around me
in that moment, and can only imagine how heavy and difficult it would
be to bear. I can only imagine how much more I would love them and seek
to help them find peace, comfort, and strength. And then I fruitlessly
attempt to imagine the burden that Christ bore when he took upon himself
not just a few minutes worth of the the struggles of a bus-full of
people, but willingly and lovingly took upon himself the eternal weight
of all of God's creations. We can't even imagine how hard it was or how
much He loves each one of us because He so perfectly and intricately
understands us. I know that God lives and that He truly loves His
children.
And I love you all too!! I hope you have a wonderful week! Always remember to ask, seek, and knock. He's there. He answers!
Love, Elder Tolman
