Sean's pineapple upside down inside out cake

Hey family,

What's up!? Hope everyone is having a good time. this past week flew by like nothing, just took one wink and gone. It was pretty good. We visited a ton of people. there is a ton of work here in San Ysidro. So much people here, it's pretty sweet because we get to talk to a bunch of people on the streets. funny story that happened yersterday. We were riding our bikes and we saw these two girls further up and then these two guys in a fancy car pull up and start talking to them and stuff but they just shrugged um off and kept walking and so we got there and my companion rides past the car and says watch how it's really done and so we go and contact them.. come to find out one of their moms is a member and so it was pretty cool. but they werent really interested either.. but it was some pretty funny stuff.

Oh heres another story.. so remember how i told you how i bought this pineapple cake. ok so i thought it looked way good. it was kinda like a pineapple upside down cake, but i didn't know what do with the pineapple. First i thought well shoot i can't put it on the top or else it would sink to the middle.. so i was trying to figure out how to make it look like the picture and i thought.. ok well i'll just let it cook till it gets a lil hard and then put it on the top. but after cooking it . it looked way ghetto. but tasted super good. and one of the sisters later released a little revelation about baking pineapple cake and said you gotta put it on the bottom and flip upside down. haha i was ohhh now that makes sense. so watch out.. now i am gonna be a pro baker.

Oh something else cool happened to us this week. we got this referral to stop by this guy's house who went to the mormon batallion. so this one night we stopped by and it was kinda late no one looked home. but decided what the heck lets just knock anyways.. i kinda got scared kus the guy opened the door super quick and we started talking with him and everything.. super cool guy. he kept thanking us for coming over and really wants to learn more with his family, which wasn't there. it was only him. but we have an appointment to go see him tomorrow. so we are pretty stoked to go visit them. it's a family of 4. the son is 11 and the daughter is 9....THAT was like us!! crazyness! it's a sign.. haha.no but it should be really good. i got a good feeling about that family.

We taught some good people this past week too. This one guy miguel, he's a little bit older and he can't read but he listens to his wife read him the book of mormon each night out loud. and he is going to come to church this week, we just have to find him a ride and he told us too that he wants to get baptized, which was pretty sweet.

OH and we are teaching this other guy named Israel. we are teaching him and trying to help him get ready for his baptism on the 22nd. he's a stud. he is a really good guy. keeps all the commandments and is just way willing to follow the gospel. the other sisters are teaching his aunty or something like that. cool story about her.. we went to go give her a blessing. and the sisters were teaching her about baptism and she just wasn't having it, she just wasn't listening, nothing, just kept saying i can't, i can't, i neet to know more, i need to know more, and so we just stopped and gave her a blessing.. and boom! complete change. it was intense. she just looked up and said ok here i am, and will do what you ask. she became more willing to listen to what the spirirt has to say. so i know there is some power in blessings. any ways i gota get going but

LOVE YOU

Elder Thomas
