11/17/11



Dear family... (specifically: David, Patrick, Mom, Dad, Aunt Donna, Nanna and Pappy, and Lindsey)(with a special shout out to Lindsey, Jannette, Mom and Mary(ish) [just because it was your birthday and that picture of jiggly puff was so legit]) for writing me letter letters!)

So where to start? Well first off missionary work is really picking up here. We have had an extremely blessed week (as those who are expecting more specific letters will know). Oh, also here is a funny story. So while I was on exchange with Elder Clawson (last mon-tues) we taught this one Chinese lady named Sophia (Elder Clawson is a Chinese speaking missionary), and after we finished the lesson (we taught her in the library here because she lives in student housing and they don't like missionaries over there) we were walking away and Elder Clawson mentions how it was a really good lesson and that it was too bad we didn't have time to invite her to be baptized! I had totally forgotten! (Not good, because that is something we have all be asked to do is invite in the first lesson) So I said, "Oh no I forgot!" and then ran back over and extended the invitation! And she accepted! So that just goes to show what kind of blessings obedience brings. :) Yup, but that is my big story for the week. I love you all. See you next week :)
Love,
Elder Tombs
P.S. My shoes are SO thrashed! And those little gaps in the back are where my rock collection comes from. I literally rattle as I walk :P
