Good morning! for me :)
Yes it was St.
Partrick's day and yes I made sure that I wore a green tie! Alot of
people or rather everyone I talked to didn't even know that you are
supposed to wear green on that day. And in our flat, I didn't even hear
the words "St. Patricks's Day" uttered by anyone! Oh well I guess it's
my last one anyway! Oh yeah and nothing was green except for the grass
and trees like always! I haven't even seen a picture of a four leaf
clover anywhere! :(
So we got an
interesting announcement this last week from President Howes, he said
that he was told from higher up that we are allowed to email family AND
friends now! I think this is a worldwide rule too because a missionary
who just came from Milwaukee who was waiting for his visa, said that
rule came out there while he was there for just a few weeks, interesting
stuff! So if you want to put that on the blog or something with my
email then people can just email me now!
Two really
cool things happened this week. Nia got her temple recommend and went
with the youth to do baptisms for the dead and is going to get her
patriarchal blessing soon! She is a total transformation! Also, Brother
Havea who got baptized in November, recently received the Melchizedek
priesthood and just baptized and confirmed his 8 year old son! When
he did the baptism, especially while saying the words, the spirit was
very very strong. It was like invisible lightning that went through the
room and I know for certain that it electrocuted everyone who was
present in two weeks we have two more baptism and then 3 more set for
April!
I'm
glad to hear that what I typed in the newsletter touched someone. I
hope that those boys in the 8th ward can be able to make the decision to
serve. There's just no other satisfactory substitute. I hope when I get
home I can be an instrument to be able to help lot's of people go on
missions and just really be converted to the gospel.
I've
got the tax forms signed AND a picture of my pants. I'll be putting the
letter in the box today and the picture of the pants in attached. I
just have both pairs in one picture.
This
Saturday is transfer calls again so we'll see what happens! To stay or
not to stay! :) Let me know how Quinns farewell is and if you get this
in time tell him I say hi and congratulations and also say.. time to
work.
Til next week!
Love, Elder Thompson
