Three headed eagle

Sweet alright, hope everyone's doing good!

This past week I got my new companion haha and it was crazy! We were sitting in transfer meeting and we were almost done and i still didn't know who my companion was going to be, and then i stood up and President Clayton said Elder Reagan and it was funny kus at first i didn't think of Elder Reagan from the MTC, but i just was like "wait who is Elder Reagan? and then i saw him and i yelled No Way! That was weird, i still can't believe it. It's pretty sweet, we already know each other and stuff, so that's easy. Its funny too because everyone asks how much time he has out and then we tell them that we were companions. It would be pretty funny if they leave us here until we are both done haha and then all we got to do is drive to the airport together haha. So yeah can you believe that, its pretty intense, companions again. but its pretty sweet. This past week was way fun and busy! We found a TON of people and so it's going really good.

Ok, remember the people we met last week, well we got in and taught them and they were really interested and it went well, the only thing was that we couldn't watch the DVD we wanted to because they couldn't switch it to Spanish, bummer, but oh well. So yeah, we got the hook ups with them too because his name is Tomas! He's always like eh what's happening Tomas? and then i am like, oh nothing much, what's happening with you Tomas? We got the Tomas connection over here, only lame thing is that they live in Arizona and so they are going to head back but not for a couple weeks. For some reason we always find people that don't live here haha. dang it! but its all good...

Oh, weird story for yah. Ok you know how there's all those shows or commercials about peer pressure?, well i never even had that, no one asked me for a hit or any of that dumb stuff, but it was funny because we were walking on the street and these guys were smoking in a couple of bushes, it looked some dumb haha. i started laughing and then we were like, nah we're good, we like to think, but you want to learn about Jesus Christ? and they didn't want to so we left.

So yeah, lately all these new people we have been finding are all Catholics, but they know their saints. I still don't know Spanish fairly well and sometimes they just go off in these weird crazy stories about the saints and stuff like that. This past Friday we taught Tomas and his wife and she told this intense story about this headless guy and he had this book which a three headed eagle was guarding and apparently it's Saint Tomas' book....but i'm pretty sure i didn't understand or at least i hope haha. After that story we just told um, well - we don't know about that, but we know about Jesus Christ so we think we should talk about him rather then crazy headed animal books. We just kind of left the story behind. Super weird. It seems like tons of people have stories like that and they always tell us for some weird reason. We are trying to combat the whole idol worship, you know no biggie. haha but on the good side we met this guy yesterday who said he doesn't believe in that stuff, just focuses on the Savior so we got a good one there. We just had to fist pump after that lesson since we were so stoked that he didn't beleive in that stuff.

We got some sweet plans for this week, we should be headed down to Mormon Battallion with some investigators so we are hoping it goes through becuase that will really help some of the people we are teaching to progress.

Other than that, things are going way good. Have a good week. Oh and CAIT - Happy Birthday! i have a birthday card that is currently being held hostage until you write me haha, nah just kidding.. sort of.

LOVE you guys,
Elder Thomas
