Magandang Hapon po sa inyo lahat(good afternoon please you all),
   Hey everybody, me and Elder Tipene had an another amazing week. I will be calling you guys around that time don't worry, about 7:00 or 8:00, but my comps time is different from ours so I'm going to go with one of the elders in my house, who is from Utah so that it won't cause any problems.Yes I was alone for about 30 minutes, but that was on a jeep at 4 in the morning, and then I met one of the other district leaders in our zone so it wasn't to bad, went with all of the DL's in our zone together, its a lot easier, and yes we have permission to do that, from President, don't worry I'm a missionary the Lord is with me to protect me!!! ED is just in the same position as I was, now its his time to shine, and do better than I did he has a lot more potential than all the rest of us at that kind of stuff, sorry NG "YOU JUS A LIL GUY", hahahaah joke lang(just joke), anyways I'll write ED and NG a lil something something. Anyways I wanna see some pics of Ed's Winter Formal, and confirm he is more gwapo(handsome) than me hahahaa!!! I hope he flashed the Filipino gwapo(handsome) sign at least once!!! Also we just got an announcement that in our zone a new group will be starting in our mission, and eventually become a branch!, as you can see that the work is going as he said in the Standard of Truth, "No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing". We just love hearing announcements like that in our mission!!! With the switch in our mission we are just really focusing on finding more investigators, and building the kingdom of God. So what I have been doing to progress, is now I'm really trying to finish the Doctrine and Covenants again, as well as at least the New Testament before I hit the road and come home!!!, as well as always read the Book of Mormon, I just love reading the scriptures, if I don't have anything to do, I read the scriptures, yea doesn't sound like me before the mission did it? Whenever I don't have anything to do I read, what the??

 So anyways I forgot my password so I want you guys to make me a new one so I sent the thing to you guys to were you change my password then next week just tell me my new password, if you could!! I can't think of it, if you just send me a new password it would be fine, sorry about the problems, but I will be writing it down in my planner so that it won't go forgotten again!!! Sorry talaga (really)!!! Its weird to realize, but I'm an old man in the mission and now is the time to shine!! We don't really tract in our area, its not very effective, especially the fact that our areas are very poor, but we are doing our best to O.Y.M people to talk to them on the street and find those part-member families so that we can better get less-actives to church as well as all of their family become members. We are having so much success, with our areas and we are really doing our best to keep ourselves going and focused, I love this area no not because its province, but because it has a lot of potential that no one ever has seen, I see a lot of potential in this area especially our investigators, we have a few a baptismal date so we are trying to increase this number, a lot of them with a baptismal date are just pure gold!!! Yesterday we went to one of our investigators, Sister Diverly, we were teaching the Gospel of Christ, and while we were teaching got to Baptism, she asked what does she need to do to be baptized?? We then explained she needs to do her best to receive a witness, from the Holy Ghost, shared to her from Moroni 10:4-5 how we need to do our best to follow, by faith, and do the things that he has commanded us to do, she then said the thing that I just proved to me she is just a gold investigator!! She then said these words "Elders I'm really looking for the truth and I want to know, when I go to church, I want to go to church, for me not because you 2 told me to" SHE'S GOLD!!! I'm so grateful to be able to harvest in this area its an amazing area, I will see so much progression in this area!!! I love it!! I love you all, sorry about the lil problems with my skype!! I love you all, and will be looking forward to you guys calling!!! MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA (LOVE TO LOVE YOU)

Nagmamahal(LOVE),
Elder Thompson
