LAME MOM Award again: This was sent on MARCH 4TH
 Hey everybody,

Hey another week gone and down!! Yea I'm sorry, its been very hard for the fact that so many things happened, our house is so horrible here in this area, we got a bill of 1,427 pesos and electricity 1,277. Yea and funny thing is that we lose our water a lot in this house we had 3 days without water in this house once, all of our neighbors have already moved, but we are going to talk about moving don't worry it will not happen again!! We will see how things go here!! Anyways you guys are probably wondering who is my new companion, my new companion, is Elder Sabawil from Nueva, Viscayas so he is another Filipino companion, so happy about this I've been getting sick of American companions. Another great transfer is about to start, I know it its going to be so amazing!! My companion is awesome, obedient and ready to go out everyday, and do his best, really excited for us to do this. Whatever happens I know that the Lord's hand is in it!!! All those discouragements all those problems will be nothing when, we turn to the Lord, he will guide us to where we need to go and do, and that through much "tribulation then come the blessings" (D&C 58:4) One of my favorite scriptures that has helped me throughout my mission, with so much trials that we have and receive, we need to rely on him and through his atoning sacrifice we can be saved and redeemed by his redeeming blood!! Guys this is an important step that we need to take to continue on in this life no matter what the devil throws at us (Helaman 5:12) always remember what Christ said "Come unto me all ye that labor and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Lots of stuff I have learned from my mission that I want to keep when I come home!! So many things and little things that we do everyday, helps us come closer to him!! Guys by what you are doing right now, like going to Randolph Center, are such great experiences that are so amazing and that I miss dearly!! Remember "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings you are only in the service of your God" (Mosiah 2:17) Noah and Ed that is why you guys felt something so differently at the Randolph Center its such a great experience, that you should not forget!! Always remember those times they are amazing!! Love all of you and miss you all dearly!! The work is amazing and continues to be amazing!! Love you all!!

Nagmamahal,
Elder Thompson
