Hey, sorry for writing late! We went to San Diego today and we just got back. It was sweet, we didn't really do anything though haha, just kinda chilled out. So things are still way sweet here in Poway. This past Sunday we gave talks in Sacrament meeting. I think i blew it... haha. but eh, it's all good. Still way sweet giving a talk in Spanish, or well, in my case, trying to ha. It's so funny though because in the rama there was only half the members present for some reason. It's always like that, but then again it fluctuates. One time one half isn't there and then the next week they will be there, but then the other half won't be there.. haha, they got some good sychronized moves man. Oh and get this, well Aurora, who we were going to baptize before, we told her to pray about it and to ask when she feels that she should get baptized, so after a while, we go to visit her and she's oh guess what mis hijos. I want to get baptized next week. i was like dumbshocked, just sat there while inside I was yelling YES! in my mind.. because first off she has been way ready for a long time already and she was pretty much just missing out on all the blessings. So now she should be baptized soon. I'll let you guys know how that goes. Oh and this one family in the branch had some relatives who are staying here for like a few weeks that we met and have been teaching. super sweet people! just way open to listen which is nice! We are way stoked for that. We should also be getting quite a few people this week from other friends of members, which will be awesome tooo..
Um man i can't believe its June already. That's ridiculous to me right now. But oh well, can't stop the time ah, just got to ride with it. Oh so the other day we did a district fast just for the work over here. and then we ended it and i ended it with Spam Musubi! haha it has been a way long time since i had it and it turned out really good. Let's see what else happened. Ok funny story, So There are a couple members that live in the same complex as we do, and they have a ton of little mexican kids that are crazy! maybe not as crazy as mario and luigi, but nevertheless, still pretty crazy. Ok so everytime we pass by somehow they see us through the window, spidey senses, i don't know. Well all we hear is a loud high pitched, "MISIONEROS!" and then that's when my companion and I look at each other and bolt haha kus they will just grab you and try and just jump on you and everything. Well anyways we had dinner yesterday with that family yesterday, and while we were eating the member has some music playing in the background.. and we are eating. and may i add - Spinach salad... I know, so we were eating salad and bam. i hear bob marley haha and i just froze, and the member just started laughing because i was surprised and i had like the salad half in my mouth and half out of it aparently haha.
Well anyways, everything is going really good over here. i was reading the other day the talk by Elder Ballard from conference. Man i love that talk! I think that's one of my favorites, and President Uchtdorf's one too. Kus Dad you remember when you would say sometimes that i am too hard on myself, and then i would just laugh and say whatever. haha well like i guess i always want to see results super quick and i want to see huge miracles or just big stuff happen often, because when i think of those things, i think alright, now i know i am doing good or now i know i am successful, and I always have thought like that. Then i remember thinking when i read those talks, well man i am dumb. i really have been thinking wrong the whole time. I just remember thinking, you know what? things are going to come by in little flecks, or little spots here and there and if you keep going and collect those little things you have a alot. So it really doesn't matter where we are at right now. so what if we are junk at reading or surfing or teaching or talking or whatever. If we start off small and do it constantly we will get good, we will see those big things because of all the little things we do. Like maybe you might not be good at reading, well braddah if youread enough books after awhile. who knows? maybe you could. So that's what i liked this past week from studying in the morning.
Well, hope everything is all good back there in Hawaii. Love you guys alot! Hey Cait! sorry, quick note... i thought i sent a letter to you a while ago but i didn't... i found it in the car the other day. SORRY. but I'll send it off ok? So yeah
HAVE a good week!
Love, Elder Thomas
