Tobz in Tacoma: Transfers!

I apologize for not writing last week, the library where we usually write was closed for Martin Luther King Jr Day.

Elder Clay, Elder Skousen, me, Elder Coons

This week we had transfers! Last Saturday we received our transfer call. I got transferred! I am now serving in the Silverdale 2nd ward. My companions name is Elder Garcia. He has been out for 18 months. He is from Texas. We are serving in an English ward, but we both are Spanish missionaries. We are also the only Spanish Missionaries in the zone, which means we do get to teach any of the Spanish people that are found. We are also in a bike area! Last Saturday we rode about 16 miles.

Me and Elder Garcia

This week at sacrament meeting, a lady gave a talk on "Growth in times of Change.' It was an awesome talk! It was exactly what I needed to hear as well. I was a little upset about being transferred, but I know that this is where the Lord wants me. In the Wa-Tac we also have a saying, "No comfort in the growth zone, no growth in the comfort zone." This week, I have been out of my comfort zone a bit. But I know that I am growing and learning. It might not always be easy or fun, but in the end, you usually turn out alright.

Take care,

Elder Tobler
