Dear Mom,
Thanks mom! I really enjoyed hearing your voice yet again! Ok so Im writing after listening to it all so we`ll see how well I do in writing back!
I love you tons and I really dont mind that you have long recordings, I love to hear them :)
Things are going great down here in Mexico! (although I think the dogs are possessed or something 
[but seriously we`ve had like three diferent dog attacks this week, one bit my companion but with protection of the lord it didnt penetrate his skin] It shows that prayer is a VERY powerful tool, its like a spiritual shield that often also extends to physical protection!)
We have had lots of great experiences here with our investigators. One of our investigators of the family Saucedo that we thought wasnt very interested had a complete change of heart and is reading and praying everysingle day and has been hanging out with tons of the JAS (single adults) in our ward. He hasnt assisted church because of his changing schedule in work, but I believe that he`ll be the next to be baptised in this ward. I always love to see his family and see how they are progressing. Because Hermana Soledad is also growing incredibly. Please keep that family in your prayers that they might overcome their trials that they`re going through right now that they may come out stronger and closer to the lord.
We`ve had about 80% of the people this week cancel their appointments last minute, but I find that as long as we keep ourselves focused on the lord we can always keep our heads held high and excited to continue forward. The other day we worked as hard as we could and we felt great, when we got home we finished planning and I sat down on the couch and was outcold for several hours until I moved over to my bed to sleep more like a rock lol. But I love to keep myself focused on the lord and just look for ways to serve my companion and others that surround us.
Ive found that as Ive been learning to let my barriers go away and to truly humble myself and look for ways that I can change that the spirit has been more present in my day to day life. Bringing a hope and firmness in testimony like I havent felt in 2 months.
I feel like that I could have been a better trainer to Elder Flores but Im going to do my ebst to treat every moment as a learning experience. To help him get the best out of these last 3 weeks of training as he can. Its like what it says in 2nd Nephi "For we are saved by grace after all that we can do" I just need to do the best I can and leave it all in the hands of the lord!
ok love you tons mom! And I loved the other emails as well! (I like the plack by the way ;) although I have about 50 pounds more there haha! and way to go with the weight loss! We`re like twins!! ;) Ive gone from size 40 to size 30-32 lol!)
Love ya!!!
Elder THompson IV
