Dear Family,

This week Sister Han got to teach a guy from China who is living in Prince George. His English name is Tony. He has a four-year-old boy and a wife who works a lot. He just walked into the church last Sunday because he got a mormon.org card from missionaries in Burnaby and decided to go. He's only been here for a couple months, so his English is really basic but he loves church so he wants to go. He wants to get baptized too!

Sister Han is teaching me the First Vision in Chinese. It's super hard, but hopefully I'll get it by the time I see you all. :)

On Saturday we went to a place called Fraser Lake. It's an hour away from here but has a bunch of houses close together. I've never really seen anything like it. We are supposed to park the car on Saturdays, so we parked it and walked around all day. We found out (would you believe it) that among all these white people there's a family from Taiwan there! WHAT. Their baby was getting baptized, so we kind of poked our heads in for a second (it wasn't at a church) and we need to go meet them when we go back.

Also, after we talked to a super anti- guy, he followed us around and talked to his neighbors after we did. He was crazy. When we were walking up to one of his neighbors he said, "Don't go there! They're Christians." Guess what? We went there. 

I feel like Satan was working super hard on me this week. I just kept having these feelings of doubt and frustration. Sometimes in a small town it can be hard to find people to talk to. But it gives me hope because if he's working that hard, it stills means I can do a lot of good before I go home, or else he wouldn't care at all. But he sure cares. :) In a way I think opposition is really good because it helps me to realize that even though I can't see all of my potential, God can and the adversary perhaps can to some degree too. And if he thinks we're threatening his work enough, he'll work hard to stop us. So those thoughts of what difference can I make are completely false. We can make all the difference! And I can take comfort in all of those different things being thrown at me because I know that God will still let me work miracles until the very last minute.

So I'm super sad that I have to go home. I just watched a video called "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go." Amen I guess. Even if it's hard. And I don't really know how to deal with it, but I guess I won't for now. I'm just going to sprint to the end. Please pray for me. :)

I love you all. I love this work more than I can express. God has been so merciful to me. 

Love, 

Sister Thomson
