Club Frandsen's Missionary: Good Time in Toledo

I got to to see Doug and Jessica a few days before the baptism :)

Goodtimes in Toledo

Hey Y'all!

Well another week has come and gone and Clinton and Trump are still running for president, we still don’t know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a lollipop. For some reason I decided to cut my own hair for the first time and lets say I wouldn't recommend it but yet life still goes on... Some weeks are just a little more humid than others.

I don’t have a lot of time to write this week so I will talk about a couple cool things that happened this week:

1. On Thursday I had a doctors appointment in Kirtland and I had talked to Doug and Jessica a few nights earlier and when they found out I would be in town they decided to surprise me and meet me at the Kirtland Historic Church Sites and we were able to go on a quick tour and take a few pictures and talk about their baptism, which happened yesterday. It was really awesome to see the growth that they made from a year ago when Elder Ogle and I went on that first tour with them, to now. Their conversion to the gospel is very strong and I loved being able to hear their testimonies on how much the restored gospel has changed their lives and relationships with their Heavenly Father. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to help them with that process. Also, while Elder Durrant and I were there we made a stop off at the Kirtland Temple visitors center and saw these awesome Joseph Smith for president shirts so of course we bought them... Pretty good purchase if you ask me.

2. Sonja Thompson (Formerly known as Beth) was another big miracle this week. So it started out with her texting us Friday and telling us that she had already read all the way to Alma in the first week that we gave her a Book of Mormon... That probably doesn’t sound super awesome but when you are a missionary and an investigator tells you something like that it is kinds like the 4th of July. But the icing on the cake was when she came to Church. It couldn’t have been a more picture perfect first for an investigator. The moment she walked in a ton of the ward came up and said hi and a couple offered to go to the 2nd and third hours of class with her and she made good friends with the YW president and Relief Society president. So that was exciting but the best part is that a lot of the ward came into the gospel principles class and it was the best class I have had in gospel principles while on my mission. The Spirit was there very strongly and the ward members took charge with helping Sonja there as well. It was such an awesome experience to watch. I am very grateful for an awesome ward that is willing to do missionary work. I am also grateful to be able to teach awesome people like Sonja out here in Ohio.

Missions are great.

Read ur scriptures & say ur prayers

Until Next week,

Elder Frandsen
