Mom!!!!! so good to hear from you! Wow this week has seemed
like a month long hahah!! Not a bad thing just seems so long haha.. well ya let
me start from the plane ride. This has been such an amazing week. first off
there were about 30 missionaries that met up with me in Atlanta and made the 15
HOUR long flight!! soooo long haha but this lady I sat by was from South Africa
and I was prompted to read the Ensign for some reason....( which Sister Hulet
gave to me so big shout out to her) and she looked interested so I showed it to her and told her she could read it.. she went crazy marking it and everything and I
asked her what she thought about it. She loved it and gave me her email and
address to send the missionaries!! She is so prepared and I didn't do much but
it was awesome.. I feel like everyone always looks for those opportunities but
they don't always work out, I was for sure blessed to have that seat on the
plane I know that. I also know it wasn't an accident Sister Hulet gave me that Ensign. I do miss you guys a lot all my
friends and family but not going to lie the showers are hotter here than at home!! So much for cold showers huh??? haha well my companion is Elder Lowe from Layton, Utah. He''s a really good elder
who pushes me to be better. Another one of my favorites at the mtc is Elder Munokoa from Australia! He reminds me so much of
when Chase got home from New Zealand he talks just like him it makes me miss
him but hes skuxx (Chase will understand... it means like gangster) hahah well
sorry we have little time so I'm sure there are many spelling errors in this but I want you all to know this church is true. I promise you this is the one thing
that can bring us the most happiness. The spirit is so strong here and while I'm still learning and getting better I do know this is the true church I love
you all. Please pray to know if this is
true.. everytime I pray I get the same answer. So thankful for all of you for
being such good examples to me and getting me here. I LOVE YOU
Elder Thompson
