Hello

Hello friends and family!

Ok, so a lot of this happened this week and a lot of it was good but

if I wrote out every single detail it would take a week for you to

read it haha so here are the highlights from the week!

We did a lot of service this week! Yard work for Bear and Terri where

we were tackling black berry bushes in the pouring rain, farm work for

sister Fleming where we were tackling goats and sheep in a lot of

mud/poop, and we helped a lady moved into our ward! I love doing

service!

We had awesome lessons this week with the Fifita family! They are

progressing so well and guess what? ALL 9 OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH

YESTERDAY! That's a huge step for them, but they are making the steps

towards baptism! We also set a challenge with the kids of who could

read the Book of Mormon the fastest haha each time we go over they

fight about who is farther along in the book! It's great! The kids are

really starting to open up and share the spiritual experiences they

are having! I am so grateful for this chance I have to teach this

family! I love them so much!

Camilo's kids made it to church yesterday as well! They are both

excited again for their baptism on the 30th but pray that the

enthusiasm they have will stay until then! They are such good kids!

Also pray that the Fifita family will continue to be excited and ready

for their baptisms on the 23rd!

So remember our investigator JoAnne? The 71 year old lady that was

having a really hard time finding the courage to come to church? Well

guess what? SHE CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY! She only stayed for about 30

minutes of sacrament meeting, but still, this is a huge step for her!

We were so happy to see her there and it looked like she was really

enjoying it! We will follow up with her this week about her experience

at church! But overall, church yesterday was great! We had 8

investigators there and in every auxiliary! Sister Nelson and I went

to primary for a little bit because the Fifita kids were latched unto

us at first, but they quickly made friends and enjoyed the rest of

primary! What a blessing yesterday was!

Then to add to the awesome day we had yesterday, President Wright

called us and told us that we would be having a girl from the Santa

Rosa stake coming to be in a trio with us for the week. This girl is

trying to figure out if she wants to go on the mission, so president

wright chose us to have her under our wing for the week! I am so

excited because the girl that is staying with us is Amie Wright,

president wrights 19 year old daughter! I love Amie! She use to come

to lessons with us back when I served in Santa Rosa! But it's a huge

honor for us to have our mission presidents daughter with us for an

entire week! We are so excited and can't wait to pick her up tonight!

Well, know that I am doing great and loving every second! It's such an

amazing experience helping people come unto Christ and to partake of

the sweet fruit of this gospel! I love watching the whole conversion

process and I'm so grateful for this opportunity I have to help Gods

children come to the fold! I love this work and I love this gospel!

Love always, Sister Thompson 🌻
