The Flying Calendar

Hey whats up family,

Hope thanksgiving was good. it was pretty sweet here. we got invited to this one members house to go eat dinner there and it was some good stuff! there were these one stuffed mushroom things.. oh bradduh those things were crazy good! it was nice to have mashed potatoes too, haha i haven't had that in a long long time. so things are going way good right now. we got tons of appointments this week. it's gonna be sweet!! i got to tell you about some stuff that happened yesterday. Well we got to teach this one girl, she is 16 but is super open to the message. we stopped by yesterday and we shared our testimonies and why we're here being missionaries and we left her with a Book of Mormon and we are gonna come back tomorrow and teach the restoration. She is way nice and picks up things from the spirit real quick which is cool. so theres alot of potential right there. But ok this story is the sickest one ever. most coolest miracle. so last night we planned to go see this one less active guy named fernando and we didn't know him or anything, we just decided we would try and pass by and invite him to learn again and come back to church. so we find the house and were walking up to it when he opens the door and comes outside and just welcomes us in. It was a blessing because this past week for some reason we were just not able to get in many houses and so we go inside and he just told us that we couldn't have come at a more perfect time and he was just asking who sent us. but really no one sent us. we just wanted to go and stop by and see him and so it really was God. s o we told um God sent us and he was just super thankful we passed by. before we started anything or even talking he just asked if he could say the prayer and he just really needed that visit because he hasn't been to church in years and hasn't even heard the gospel in years, no visits nothing...and he just has been having a hard time too because he drinks and that just has been killing him inside and he feels really bad. but this guy is just ready and so we had a lesson with him and it went way way way good. So we left him a chapter to read and we set up another appointment for this friday. so we are excited to help him come back to church and the whole 100 yards baby.

Oh and its crazy its almost december! november flew by way too quick and i was tired of seeing how much time was flying by so i threw away the calendar haha. that way i don't know what day it is or anything and when its time for home. it will just pop out of no where. so that's my plan. Because everyone i talk to is like oh wow well elder your almost done... so i'm just gonna stay in denial haha. wait ah i forgot what i was gonna say. oh so for december we have a christmas activity in our ward. it's gonna be a dinner kinda thing, but we wanted it to be more missionary work kus thats really what the activities are for. so one of the sisters came out with a sweet idea of having a church tour, and with each room have one of the groups like young women or young men, priesthood all of those groups share a presentation of a part of the life of Jesus Christ, so it is gonna be really good. i'm stoked. so right now we are trying to set it all up and everything and get a lot of people there too so the activity can be good.

Let's see what else is happening...well nothing much. everything is going pretty good here. trying to invite more and more people to Christ. it's really cool. man i'm just glad i'm here. hope everything is going good there in hawaii. oh and eat some hawaiian food for me! i miss that heavenly stuff. But there is this one place called big kahunas that just moved down here in our area and we got cupons for it so i'll see if it lives up to the real stuff. i hope so! well love you guys alot...

Love,
Elder Thomas
