Week 28

Dear Family,

Our p-day was today because we got to go to the TEMPLE! :) It was great.

So I have no time to write... so. Here's some of my letter to President Tilleman.

"We had a potential come to church on Sunday! :) We have an appointment with her on Thursday. Her name is Alicia. We also taught the investigator we found during conference last week this past weekend. Her name is Tina and she is 86 years old! And she is not just a cute woman that wants to have us over for cookies! (She can't afford cookies anyways...) She marked Moroni 10 to read and pray about before we even asked her and she promised she would come to church with us this upcoming Sunday. I really think she is still seeking truth! We also met a woman named Juliann yesterday that the Elders gave us. She apparently knows our ward mission leader and his wife really well and has wanted to know about our church but didn't want to pry with her friends. We talked for a really long time and she is so prepared! She just recently got back together with the father of her son and wants to marry him. She has already committed to live the law of chastity on her own and she told us she would facebook our ward mission leader's wife to invite her to our lesson on Wednesday. We called the Turners and were praying so hard that Sister Turner could come because they are a really busy family, but she can! We are so excited.

We have had so many miracles this past week, and my only set-back has been feeling unqualified for the work! I kept thinking to myself, man, we are finding so many awesome people and have so many great people to teach. If it weren't for me these people would be progressing so much better. But then I realized that was silly. And maybe somewhat true, but the Lord gives us weaknesses, and all He's ever had are imperfect servants. And I know that hard work makes up the difference, like you told us. So yesterday, we had a miracle day and found five new people to teach! And all of them are really seeking truth. The first was at 10:30 in the morning. :)

The temple was great! I kept wanting to go there with Juliann. I know I just met her, but I kept thinking about her in there. I really want her to go through the temple."

So yesterday I expected to be a really hard day because it was the day before the temple. Instead we found five new investigators and just before we had to go inside for the night, a kitten jumped out of the bushes! What. Not as cool as the cat that followed our Sister Training Leaders around for two hours while they were finding,  but still. So of course we played with it.

This work is too great. So. Yes.

Love you all!

Sister Thomson
