Hey whats up family!
So last week was transfers but my companion and me stayed together so it's pretty sweet. but we arent in san ysidro anymore. we are up here in Imperial beach. haha you know me. always gotta be close to the water. so i'm pretty stoked to be here. It's a way nice place and we work close to the church building and our apartment which is way nice. So this past week we were pretty much trying to get a hold of all the people the sisters were visiting before we got here, and yesterday oh bradduh it was a sweet day!!
We had zone conference yesterday and President Clayton talked to us and at first i was like man i just want to work rather then go to a meeting, but it was the bomb. President Clayton he is the man! I learned some good stuff and i feel like i'm on fire, haha it's pretty crazy. He talked alot about finding and how to go out there and find people who can help build up God's kingdom and he told us to think of the area and our converts and stuff... how it will be in 40 years. It made me think about us when we got baptized. kus i mean who woulda known from the missionaries coming over to our house and sharing the message that i would be here right now having the time of my life. it's crazy, i was praying last night and i couldn't stop thanking Heavenly Father. kus i feel like he is blessing us ridiculously alot. haha its like the scriptures when it says my cup is overfilling or something like that. I mean yesterday was the bomb, ah well just right now its the bomb. God's work.. just tearing it up right now. So after the meeting yesterday we went outside and we were waiting for our ride back home and we were just chilling outside by the car still stoked to go out and work and we seen this lady working on her yard and she was this old lady. so we were like eh let's go help her and teach her the gospel haha. So we ran cross the street haha and started talking with her. she didn't even let us help which was lame! but we talked about our message and she said she was busy but we could come back another time. so woo! that's at least some potential right there. and oh cool story last night.
ok so i think i told you about it but back in the day we seen this one guy watering his lawn and so we stopped by and contacted him. it was a pretty lame contact. but we gave it to the sisters anyway kus it was in their area and well now its in our area! so we went over last night at 8, so kinda late and they said they were going to go to bed right then, but watch the skills right here - my companion asked to use the bathroom haha kus he had to go. so we went in and i started talking to them while he used the bathroom. yeah baby! and we started talking and we talked about the Book of Mormon and they were super interested about it and said they want to come to church this week!!!! one more on the miracle list. but it was cool kus you knew God was in that house helping them feel the spirit. oh and they invited us to thanksgiving with them! that family is just golden. we're stoked to teach them. they are gonna be blessed a ton! so yeah cool story
Oh and this past saturday it poured all day. and we were walking in the rain everywhere. the streets were like rivers of water it was pretty cool. we got so soaked that we just gave up trying to keep dry and just started walking through puddles and everything. we were pretty much the only guys on the street. but we went and saw this one guy tony and he came outside and had this confused face when he saw us haha and said what are you doing? and we just told him sharing the gospel like every other day. it was funny kus he thought we were crazy. but eh... God's work don't stop in no wimpy rain. so we got to meet a couple people but no one let us in so we had to just teach at the door step. i think we should just carry a fold up chair with us so we can sit down at the doorstep and teach. it was a nice day though with the rain, closest i can get to swimming right? haha. anyways the work is awesome we are seeing so many miracles it's intense. it's better then breathing i promise. like it just feels so i can't even describe it. i just know i love it alot. So everything is going way way way good here. hope everything is good back home and that you sold the kamehame house too.
I love you guys and miss you alot!
Love
Elder Thomas
