Hola!
How is everyone? Well i think its funny after seeing the pictures you guys think im living in a lot of poverty now well theres definatley more poverty here than in the us but theres also some pretty nice areas but as far as my area goes im mainly working with the people in poverty, but i think everyone has a cellphone although i havent seen the iphone yet dad but i have seen one of those ipad things. I havent had too many problems as far as people with tithing because we usually are teaching catholics here and they all know what it is and its not anything different for them. But as far as the best part of being a missionary, its hard to just pick one thing but the part i like the most would probably seeing the changes people make in their lives for God, we find people all the time that are just lost in life and their families are a wreck then after they start applying the things we teach them it seems like everything just starts working out for them in their lives and their families are together and happy. And as far as deciding who teaches what i think a lot of trainers start the missionaries off by switching each principle but right now me and my comp. we just kind of switch off naturally.
But this week went pretty good as well we started teaching the parents of Lucy and Luciano who are awesome the mom still has a lot of questions but the dad will accept anything its so funny. but ya we also got them to go to church yesterday and the mom, Christina, said she understood everything that she learned and liked it alot. Then weve also been teaching the friends of Luci and Luciano too, Rios Family, who are doing awesome too and there all really excited to get baptized which is awesome and there mom is really supportive of us. Also were teaching the boyfriend of Jimena who is the girl that got baptized in the picture i sent you and they both want to get married and go to the temple as a family and hes progressing really fast and told us he wants to be baptized this saturday so be praying that Sergio can be baptized this weekend.
We also had a zone conference last week which was awesome and our mission presidents wife gave a cool talk to us she showed us a video of how a bunch of people were given a bar of soap and they had to carve it into art and then we saw all the cool different things that people made. Then she told us right now were like the bar of soap we have remove all the things from our lives which keep us from being the piece of art or living up to our potential. Well thanks for everything and have a good week.
Love,
Elder Thompson
