OKAY, this week was just awesome. I can't even tell you all how amazing it was. Okay, so we had a lot of hard times and, yes, it rained so hard-- you have no idea--I am not kidding. I have to wait for my zone leaders to give me your package; it is here, they just have it and I have not received a single letter to tell you the truth. The address I sent is for mail packages and whatever. I have not received any news from Kinsie or Lane yet but I look forward to the day I do.
It sounds like you are all partying without me in Utah. Wow, sounds like a ton of fun! Jordan I have been praying for and yes it sounds like a mission, but hey, it helps prepare, verdad? Jeremy sounds like he is jumping like a boss as of late so, Jeremy, when I return, we are going to train!
Thank you for your support I am serious this area is very hard. However. . . so Paula. . . bad news. She kind of is struggling to get into the waters of baptism. We don't know why but we are trying our best. Right now we have four people that can be baptized but they just need a little push from the spirit to get them there. We had something very special happen though. We went to a family that is less active but as we were walking to their house a girl approached us and asked where we were going we told her and she said, "Oh, I am the daughter of that family and my sister just got baptized in a different ward. Can I get baptized too?" WHAT? WELL OF COURSE! We then gave her all of the lessons and she has a testimony like none other person I have heard. She is 15 and her name is Maria.
We we were working so hard this week and we felt like we were running on ice, waiting for traction. Well, we
got it, and we have a new fire in us. Diligence is what I'm learning right now, every day I am giving my very best and it is hard to keep this pace but I know that I am doing the will of the Lord. I know that missions are hard, but man, not this hard. I have been so exhausted. For example, when we go home I tell my companion Tenemos que planear. Yeah, then we go to bed.
Today I had to go get my visa renewed and I got to see all of my old companions from the MTC and I was so excited to see them; it was a fun day. We also have an elder here in the mission that knows the other Elder Thompson (Luke). He is from Pleasant Grove and what are the odds we also have another elder in the mission that knows Jeremy. Haha, How does this happen? Anyway, I love and miss you all. Please pray every day, study your scriptures, and go to church! Thank you for everything you do!
Elder Thompson
PS Mom, is the credit card thing fixed? I need to tell my president.
