So what are the plans for christmas?
Im so excited for that day!
*sigh* gotta love christmas!
This week has been absolutely fantastic! First we had the oppurtunity to lsten to Elder Nelsen from the quorum of the twelve and some members of the seventy. The inspiration from those men was absolutely amazing. Three hours of pure inspration. Elder Nelsen even said that what was said in this meeting was written in heaven as scripture specifically for our mission. So much of what was sad has completely changed my life. For here and after the mission as well.
I testify that Christ lves, and for those who obey wth exactness, will be promsed with success in all aspects of life, and eventually will recieve the gift of eternal life as families. May we as brothers and sisters and children of an all powerful god obey with exactness. So that we may obtain eternal exaltation in the Kingdom of God!
The spirit has been very powerful this past week. Helping us find concourses of people who have been prepared by the lord. Ill share two of the examples.
Francisco.
We were walking by one day and just had a suttle mpression to contact him. We did so, and t turns out he has a daughter with cancer and would like to listen. We went and visited them for the first time yesterday and taught the restoration of the Gospel. Him and his family appeared awestruck and we didnt really understand why. But as we were leavng his house he followed us out. Told us that he had found a book of mormon about a month ago, but didnt know where it came from. Then said, with the holy ghost very strongly pressing on our hearts, that there is no such thing as a coincidence. And is now preparing to be baptized next month.

Frdiay night we were going about normally, but couldnt fnd ANYONE in their houses. So we moved on to Old Investigators to start contacting. I was looking for the street Volcan Mistic, but couldnt find it anywhere on the map. So I fgured it was a spelling error, and we went to the street Volcan Misti looking for the number 419. we found that the street ended at 400. So we crossed the street, thinking it was still Volcan Misti. Where we found 419 and knocked. María came out excited to see us and invited us in . she Told us that she had found a BoM and was reading it everyday, several times a day. When we returned the next day, i found that the old investigator that we were looking for was someone completely diferent and we still ended up at her house. Her street being Ramon Garces. She also explained that the day we found her she had been praying for someone to guide her on what to do. To which she felt strongly the missionaries would come, so she started to clean the house and told her daughter to prepare for the missionaries to come that day. She then said another prayer asking again for us to come. When she said Amen. We knocked on the door.
There is no such thing as coincidence! Its an amazing feeling to take part in experiences such as these. Im grateful that the lord has guided us to people like these and many more.
God lives my friends!
Love you all tons!
Elder Thompson IV
