This week has been very great or amazing. Holy crap Noah's freaking 12 its crazy how quickly time flies by when you are doing the Lord's work. I love it here in my area they are doing a good job of replacing my last area. The ward in this area is very supportive especially the bishop he is very masipag in his calling and has helped us alot already even though I just got here 3 weeks ago. Yes we all do it it wasn't just me and Ed hahahaah i knew NG wasn't the perfect child hahahaha. I thought he was going to be different from me and Ed it just proves that when you grow up with me and Ed its just proves you become like us, except if your a babae, like Addy. It scares me that Addy is going to BYU Idaho cause alot of the elders in the mission going home this year are from Idaho and also that BYU Idaho has been also nicknamed BYU I DO. So ibig sabihin she will be married before I go home. She says that shes going to find a wife for me which wont probably happen cause she does not know what I want in a wife. So anyways I want to tell you a little bit about my new area.
So my new area is called Quezon City 4th Ward Area, our area is covered in Barangay Bahay Toro, or in English House of Bull. Haaahaah wierd huh? The city of Quezon City are separated into Barangays or certain areas. Mine is called House of Bull. My area is all stinking city again. Yes I know its where I'm needed, but I really hope I'm needed in some province areas soon. Maybe like Mindoro??? Yes I a fatty desire to go out there. I know I stink at Tagalog but I still want to go out there to learn it even quicker. One elder my district leader, Elder Taurabakai has only been out for 2 transfers ahead of me and he was out there for 3 transfers and now hes stinking fluent in Tagalog, so I really want to get out there and get beast at Tagalog. So anyways I'm getting off subject so Ill talk about my area now. So my new area is covered with Less Actives its ridiculous. So we usually spend our days going to get many less actives to go to church they're so many I cant say we are never not doing anything, but we do get punted alot, but its nice to find new ones and see the blessings in them coming to church. So now about investigators.
So we have a new investigator, Kevin Blaza, he is 14 years old and is actually the brother of one of Elder Webster's recent converts in the ward. She introduced us to him and he is so freaking cool. When we taught him about of the Book of Mormon, 2 days before we taught him the Apostasy and Joseph Smith, and he said during the lesson we decided to reiterate prayer and we asked about his prayers and when that was asked he said he has already felt that what we are teaching him is true and we asked how he has felt it was true he said because of what we said after reading from Moroni 10: 3-5, and the intro of the Book of Mormon saying " Thru the power of the Holy Ghost you can know the truthfulness of this gospel". He said that he has felt really happy every time we teach and another plus of that is he has his sister there for him when he has any questions. Its really through family that everything out here comes to pass. Its great how close the family is out here and really makes me miss you guys, but what I always say to myself that the people out here are my family and they do a really good job of accepting the Elders here especially the white ones. They treat everyone here the same here its no one separated, if we need a fellowshipper we get one literally the next day. I love it. So we gave Kevin a bap date on March 3rd so yes I might have a baptism after Addy's B day. Yes I haven't forgotten the birthdays Noah I will actually send you something from here to show off to your classmates when you give your report, it might just be a shirt cause those are the cheapest things here.
So we also have another investigator, but its a family. The Pascua family I actually just met the other day on Saturday. They are so stinking cool family. Brother is a taxi driver and we met them through his brother who is actually a stake president. They have gone through many missionaries, but they have the biggest desire to be baptized. The problem is that brother has been married before, but he does not know if it was real or not. Same thing with the sister they don't know if they're marriage is legal or not. So now we have to pray that both of them were fake so that they a both be baptized and go through the temple. So if one of them is really married they can be baptized but one of them cannot go through the temple. Which would be a big letdown. So we have been really praying for them so we might need some from the homeland.
So yea that's the life of Elder Thompson i miss you guys and good luck with all the fun stuff that will happen soon.
Mahal kita,
Elder Thompson
