Dear Family

     Hope all is well at home.

This week has been quite the week..

First of all I had a kidney stone type of thing (I peed a stone) which hurt like heck, ask Jared for more details..  So I'm going to get that bad boy checked out today, I'm sure everything will be fine. Other than that, we had Zone Conference, which was amazing. Our mission president and AP's are really inspired. One thing they talked about is how we can teach as the Savior did. I really have come to love the people who I am serving. I love how friendly and smiley they are. They're such a loving people and they truly do love our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. It really inspires me to be around such a religious people.

     One of our investigators is the Nomusa family. There is a dad and mom and 3 kids, the mom was introduced by a member from our branch, and she had been praying for God to show her the way. That's when a girl from our branch told her about the BOM. I love being in a branch that's so excited and engaged in missionary work, they're always willing to help us out at all times, which is a blessing! But, since then we've been able to teach her and her family a few times and I look forward to getting to know this family more as well as finding more people to teach!

     I know that the BOM is so powerful and I love listening to others testify of it's truthfulness as well as getting the chance to do that myself each day! We are very lucky to be able to read and receive revelation as we pray and read with our hearts. I know this church is true and I love getting to share this message with others like our Savior did. I know this gospel blesses lives and I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real. I love you and hope you have a good week!

     Love,

Elder Thompson
