Mom and Dad,
I love to hear from you two each week. I am sorry to hear about
Aunt Debra. It is comforting to know the plan that Heavenly Father has
for us. We teach people that death is just the separation of body and
spirit. The spirit lives on and the body just waits until the
ressurection. I love Aunt Debra and am glad to hear that she went so
peacefully. I am grateful to be part of a family with the knowledge and
testimony to be able to bear a trial like this. I know that Aunt Debra
will be a great missionary in the spirit world and will definitely be
taken into a state of happiness. I wish I could be there to help. Will
you send me their address so I can write to them?
Good to hear about the new job, Mom! Sounds like you will be able
to get out and be more active now! That's good! I can't believe how hot
it is there! I just realized this week that I spent 3 years in a row of
4th of July away from home. That's kinda a bummer! haha I miss fireworks
and BBQ!
This last week has been pretty good! Pretty fast too! We got a new
investigator. This guy who is a busker (street performer). He hand makes
his own flutes out of pipes that he collects! It is really cool. He
said he can make about $40 per hour on average! Wow I want to do that!
hahah sounds awesome. Can't wait to go back and teach him. I think I
will get transferred at the end of this transfer. So about 3 weeks left
in Manly. In President Simmons last email to me he pretty much told me
that. But the new mission president could change that. Ya never know!
Still haven't met President Howes yet but we have Zone Conference this
Thursday so I look forward to meeting him! Still have no idea where I
could be getting transferred though. Got my fingers crossed for
Canberra.
Can't wait to hear how Independence day and everything goes! Hope
you get to meet President and Sister Simmons. They are awesome. Oh yeah
and Sister Sheen has given us cupcakes and Chinese snacks. And Sister
Simmons gave us cookies too! Usually enough treats to last us 2 or 3
days. :)
Love you guys!
Elder Thompson
