Hola!
How´s everyone doing? Well it sounds like everyone spent the week in
Vegas, i dont even feel like i know what time of the year it is
anymore. I cant believe you already had spring break, the year is
passing by way fast. But ya i would say the mission can be very
stressful depending on your situation. For example if your in an area
that doesnt have success for a long time and with a comp that you dont
get along with. But as far as my mission i havent had really any major
problems with any of my comps. and it hasnt been physically hard for
me either maybe on the days where im sick. Well ya and as far as the
food goes im a lot less picky now compared to how i used to be, so the
food isnt really a problem for me either i guess im just lucky they
dont know what pickles are here, that might´ve been a problem but
luckly they dont have them here.
Well last week went pretty good for us here. One thing that happened
was during the week we did divisions one day and while i was in my
area i remembered some kids in the street, the other day, that we
started talking to. So we passed by there house and i started talking
with the older sister who told us they had been listening to the
missionaries before and were going to get baptized but they had to
move because school was starting up, which i saw as a huge blessing
that we could find them and we also started talking with a neighbor
that lives in front so we´ll be passing by them too. Then the cool
thing that happened was that Danilsa and Cinthia got baptized on
saturday and the font didnt fill up very much so we had to baptism
them in a little bit higher than knee high water, but luckly they were
both really small. We also had a stake conference on sunday and Elder
Arnold came and talked to all of our investigators right before. And
the investigators that we had there loved it, he talked about the plan
that God has for us in this life. Then in the stake conference he gave
an awesome talk he told a story about his mom who had problems talking
growing up and had been praying to be healed so she could go on a
mission and her prayer wasnt answered until she was actually in the
mission field. And then he went on to say that sometimes our prayers
arent answered until years after, once we show that we are willing to
endure. So it turned out to be a really good week. And right now im in
a trio of companions for the next two day because the other Elder in
our house, Elder Mason, his companions just got transfered to another
place this morning because he´s going to be training so until his
companion gets here on wednesday hes going to be with us. Well thanks
for everything i love you all and have a good week.
Love,
Elder Thompson
