Hey family,
hope everyone is doing good. having a good time. So we went to the temple today.. it was way sweet, i love that place. This past week was super good. A ton of stuff happened. Just yesterday President came to the zone and was giving interviews and i wanted to see if i could get an extension, but he said nah just because it's really rare, they just want us to go back and yeah i was hoping maybe to stay a little longer. never hurts to try ah. so that happened yesterday and afterwards we had an appointment which we brought one member with us, so we were way stoked... but that guy wasn't even there!! it was a huge bummer. so we were walking away and we seen this lady walking and we said hi and just started talking to her. come to find out it was this lady we have been trying to get a hold of for a couple weeks now. so it was a blessing that the appointment fell through or else we probably woulda missed her... super nice lady too. way busy but she said she is going to call us when she gets some time to sit down and talk the message.
Oh and you know the family i told you about...well we stopped by and taught them last tuesday... and it was sweet!! such a good time... they were just eating it up. it was way cool because they just kept asking questions and we talked about the temple and families, the book of mormon, prophets in america. it was crazy. they loved it and they understood everything. it was cool to see kus garantee it was all the Lord. He prepared them alot! probably the coolest family i ever taught on my mission... It's so wierd still because i promise they remind me of us back in the day. family of 4 and it's kinda cool to think that now i'm in the shoes of Elder Cheney and Elder Sorenson. Pretty sweet stuff. So i'm still stoked to keep going back and teaching um more and seeing them change and get all the choke blessings for their family.
Funny story... so on Sunday i don't know why but our appointments were not going through and everyone was not home. it was like a ghost town and were getting tired of not teaching, so we decided to just look for someone breathing that we could talk to. Then we saw this one guy vacuuming his car... but we said nah... let's keep going. then right when we passed the vacuum turned off and so we turned back around and went to talk with him. way cool guy and he seemed super interested too. believes in God a lot and wants to know more about God's plan and it was just the smoothest street contact we ever made haha. pretty cool stuff.
Oh so yeah it was my comps birthday yesterday and it was sweet kus he got hooked up... we had cake and food... some good stuff. the other elders came in at night and threw confetti and stuff all over the place. it was pretty funny when we woke up. still have yet to clean it hahaha... some day right?
Ah lets see... so this one guy that we were teaching... his name is alfredo and we have been teaching him for a while now and he knows everything is true so its fustrating kus he just won't get baptized, plus he needs to get married first. but what is cool is the other day after this lesson we had, he came outside and said you know what? i want to get baptized. which was good news. he said sometime in november and we'll see when and get him and his girlfriend ready for it!! Ton of stuff happening out here. oh and i heard from elder Reagan in poway that Auroras kids that we were teaching got baptized! super happy when i heard that.
Anyways, love you guys have a good week!
Love
Elder Thomas
