General Conference!!

Hi family!

We have had an INCREDIBLE week and it ended with an AMAZING General

Conference! The work is picking up here in Fairfield and we are seeing

miracles! Here are the highlights from this week!

On Monday night last week, we went and did FHE with a single mom in

the Cordelia 1st Ward! Her name is Sister Chambers and she has three

kids running around the house. She is currently dating a non member

and he was home and joined us for family night! It was super fun! We

played Simon says with them and tied it into general conference and

following the prophet! Her boyfriend asked us a lot of questions and

ended up wanting to watch general conference this weekend! We will

have to follow up to see what he thought about it! Hopefully he will

be interested in learning more!

Tuesday, we had an awesome zone meeting! Since we had just watched the

general women's meeting a few days earlier, our relief society

instincts kicked in and we decorated the room before the zone leader

showed up! Haha we had table clothes and center pieces, little cute

hand outs and reminders. It was great! Haha I taught a few segments on

using Facebook, using members, and keeping a study journal! It turned

out really well and the zone leaders did an awesome job teaching their

segments on diligence and improving our teaching skills! Later on

Tuesday, we had a Skype lesson with Lyndon! He is doing awesome and

still working towards his baptismal date on April 30th! And Tuesday

night we picked up a new investigator! He is from India and we can't

pronounce his first name so we just call him by his last name which is

Dilon! Haha he is neighbors with the Thomas' in our Ward and he always

see missionaries going over there! We meet him outside his house last

week and we were able to go over Tuesday and teach him!  He's in his

50's and he is so funny! We were laughing pretty hard while we were

talking with him! He said he wanted to watch general conference, but

we need to follow up with it today!

We had awesome lessons with Ally this week! She is getting excited for

her baptism in a couple of weeks! Her and her mom watched the women's

meeting last week and loved it! Pray that Ally will continue to

progress towards her baptism!

A huge miracle we had this week was Keri! She is a friend of Sister

Seymour in our Ward and sister Seymour invited her over on Wednesday

morning when we came over to do service for the seymours! Keri is in

her 30s and she has a little four year old boy! And Keri is golden!

She is so interested in learning and she wants a better relationship

with God! We were able to go back over the next day and teach her the

restoration and it was a powerful lesson! She has such a strong desire

to know for herself if this church is true! She went over to the

Seymours to watch general conference yesterday so we will see what she

thought! Man, we have a lot of following up to do! I love it!

We found out transfers this weekend :( and sister Ward is leaving

us...sad day! Sister Ward is going to Rohnert Park though so I'm super

excited for her to be over in the San Rafael Stake though! But now it

will just be Sister Aiton and I covering the Cordelia 1st Ward and the

Rockville YSA Ward! The work is really picking up so hopefully we can

handle everything! I'm excited for this next transfer, but I am SO sad

to see Sister Ward go! She has become one of my best friends so

hopefully I will get to serve around again!

General Conference was AMAZING! On Saturday we watched both sessions

at the stake center! We did service in between sessions and right

after the last session too! It was a good day and I LOVED conference!

On Sunday, we went over to Elder and a Sister Nordfeldts

apartment(they're a senior couple that works on the Air Force base

here) and they cooked breakfast for us sister missionaries and then we

watched conference there! And then the afternoon session we watched at

the Thomas' house! We spent the rest of the day saying goodbye to

people for Sister Ward!

Before I end this letter, I want to share a couple things that really

stood out to me from conference! First off, during D. Todd

Christofferson's talk about fathers, I was thinking about dad the

whole time! Everyone who is reading this, I want you to know that my

dad is the perfect example of a good father. He has taught his

children the gospel and has lived the gospel himself. He has been a

role model for me all through life! He is a hard worker but ALWAYS

finds time to spend time with his family! I cherish the moments when

he would come home from a long night shift at work, but he would still

go outside and throw the football with me! Thank you dad for being my

friend and example! I love you! Second, I loved Steven E. Snow's talk

about humility! Wow, what an incredible attribute for someone to have!

I loved when he said, "Through eyes of humility, we see miracles."

That statement is SO true! Especially while on the mission, when I

have truly been humble, that's when I see God's hand in my life that

day and I can see the miracles that happened! Humility is something I

am still working on, and is something I think I will always been

working on, but Heavenly Father knows I'm trying haha. Anyways, I

loved conference and I hope you received your own personal prophetic

epistle this weekend! I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love always, Sister Thompson 🌻

So a member cut my hair today! I kept the length but added bangs! I

think I like it better when I have bangs!
