Well here are two
really cheesy, typical Mormon jokes:
Q: Before Joseph Smith was called to
be a prophet, how many letters were there in the alphabet?
A: 24, There was no D&C
Q: Why did the Lamanites have sore knees?
A: Because of all the
(K)Ne(e)phites.
Alright that last one might
have been a stretch.... I guess we just all press on, right?
Another week down in the
service of the Lord! I'll try my best to remember the highlights.

1.Sonja: She is doing
great! She already has a calling after only being a member of the church for
one week... and she is already magnifying it. She is the secretary in the
Young Women’s and it is a perfect calling for her. We were also this week to do
family history with her and we only had 30 minutes, but in that 30 minute time
frame we found 20 names that she can take to the temple. We are doing it again
this week and we will see what else we can accomplish there. I love being able
to help people prepare to go to the temple and find their ancestors. Tonight,
since it is Halloween and we aren’t allowed to go out tracting we are helping
Sonja and her family with their Halloween activity they are doing(pictures to
come next week).
2. Mike, Lisa and Kenji:
Another great week for them, last week we had given them the Families and
Temples pamphlet and invited them just to read the first part. When we came back to cover it they had
read it all and could have taught us the lesson. Then they told us of how they
had already set it as their personal goal to be able to go to the temple a year
after their baptism, to be sealed together as a family! That is always a cool
thing to hear as a missionary :) Lisa, in the middle of the week, texted us and
told us she was struggling with something and would like a priesthood blessing.
So we went over and were able to give her a blessing and afterwards she texted
us and told us she felt 'That feeling again" which was the holy ghost
comforting her and letting her know that it was going to be okay and she was
making the right decisions. She also said that the things she was struggling
with went away and she was doing great. The power of the priesthood is real.
Kenji is already half way through Mosiah in the Book of Mormon and doing
awesome! They are such a great family and I am grateful to be able to teach
them.
3. Elder Cortez and I
were able to find 2 new investigators this week, set a baptismal date with a
part member family that seems pretty solid, and have members out teaching with
us 6 days this week. He is starting to feel more confident about speaking English
and participates more in the lessons. The other Elders in the ward are seeing
lots of success right now as well and it just seems like this ward right now is
the place to be and I am glad that I am able to be here.
4. Other than that, Elder
Cortez and I were Mario and El Chapo for the ward Halloween party. Poor Elder
Cortez doesn’t really know what cold weather is like and has been sleeping in
his new giant winter coat every night because he is cold.
Another day another
dollar
Well that’s all for this
week! Tune in next week for more from Toledo Ohio
The church is true, God
loves us and Jesus is our Savior.
Don’t forget to read ur
scriptures and say ur prayers
Love, Elder Frandsen
