Week 7!

Hello family!!

So normally transfers would be happening tomorrow, but this transfer

is a 7 week transfer! So we will be finding out this weekend who is

staying and who is going! I'm really grateful it's been a 7 week

transfer because I love where I am right now! I love my companions and

I love this area! So here are some highlights from this week!

On Tuesday, during district meeting I taught about prayer and the

importance of prayer and teaching our investigators to pray. I did a

cute little activity as my commitment(I have way to much fun teaching

haha) but I had everyone in the district put a penny in their shoes. I

called it a prayer penny. So every time they felt the penny, they had

to offer a silent prayer. I also put a penny in my shoe, and let me

tell you, my day went so much better! I felt the penny a lot

throughout the day, but I found that there was so much more I was

grateful for and it just made me realize that everything I have or do

is because of Heavenly Father. It was great being able to stay in good

contact with Him throughout my day! Everyone in the district loved it

also. I think I might put a penny in every pair of shoes I own! After

district meeting, I went on exchanges with Sister Aiton! She is

seriously the cutest and I just love her! She definitely came

pre-trained! She is the most ungreen greenie I've ever met! We sent

the majority of the day in Suisun City!

On Wednesday we had an awesome skype lesson with our YSA investigator

Lyndon! We taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit

was so strong during the lesson! He is literally the definition of a

golden investigator! We ask him questions and he will give us the

preach my gospel answer. He is so great! We set a baptismal date with

him! For April 30th! We think it might be pushed up earlier, because

Lyndon is just so ready, but we will see!

Thursday we went to Rio Vista for the day! Missionaries haven't lived

in Rio Vista for about six months now, so they are closing down the

apartment, so our zone went out there and helped clear out and clean

the apartment! Rio Vista is about a 45 minute drive away from where we

live and the drive out there is GORGEOUS! Northern California is

seriously SO pretty! I love it here!

On Friday I went to Santa Rosa for the day for MLC! It was such an

awesome meeting! I rode up with Sister Bear, she's from Sugar City,

ID! I love sister bear! So we left my apartment around 6:15am because

it takes about an hour with no traffic to get to Santa Rosa, and last

MLC we left at 6:30am and showed up at the Bagder Building at 8:58am

and MLC starts at 9. So we left a little bit earlier this time just in

case, but we ended up getting to Santa Rosa at 7:30am haha so we were

an hour and a half early this time! Haha we went out to breakfast and

then went and stayed with the Santa Rosa sisters for the rest of the

time! Haha we got a good laugh out of that! But MLC was SOOO good! I

love hearing from President and Sister Wright and the assistants!

The generals women's conference was so good! I was definitely in tears

from the choir! I loved that! Unfortunately, we didn't have any

investigators there, they were all with family this Easter weekend.

But the Fairfield 1st elders had an investigator there so we sat with

her! Her name is Daphne and she just moved to the USA from Haiti! She

speaks French and she is currently learning English so it's fun

talking with her! I was able to say hi and introduce myself in French

when I met her a couple weeks ago for the first time and she got so

excited and started speaking French to me, but I couldn't keep up.

Haha she is so cute and we all love her!

Easter was so good! Once again, we didn't have any investigators

there. Which was sad, but they were all with their families so I guess

that's ok haha. I loved all the talks and musicals numbers in both

wards! I love the spirit of Easter! We have two dinner appointments

which is always a great thing! And we spent the rest of the day

visiting less actives who didn't have any family with them! Overall,

it was a great Easter!

I hope you all have an awesome week! Spring is here! Take time to not

only smell the roses, but also the spiritual roses in your life! I

love you all!

Love always, Sister Thompson 🌻
