March 11th letter:

Hey everybody!!!

Kumusta po ba kayo??(How do you please) Ayos lang ba?(Is OK) Ayos lang ako!!!(I'm Okay)How is everybody doing this week looks like I was really part of the party but not really me, just a picture of me hahahaha!!! Anyways this was another amazing week, my new companion, is so amazing, we do so well together in teaching and definitely in finding this week we did nothing, but tracting and just talking to people on the street!! One of the new focuses in our mission is that they really want us to really find what we call potential priesthood holders, or potential priesthood leaders!! What they really want us to be doing is really trying to find people that can really get this work moving forward, especially with the work moving forward!!! Me and Elder Sabawil had such a successful week we found 10 new investigators this week and alot of them are UMC or Upper Middle Class, not the shantys we call squatters were talking nice houses!! We had great success, and have really gotten my fear of talking to people to kind of shiver away, sometimes I do it, but I still kind of do that that's one thing I want to lose before this transfer is over, its a pretty good goal I think!!

Anyways I could talk a million years about things, but for right now Mom the baptisms are going to be put on hold again, since the investigator that we really want to come to church didn't come for the last 2 weeks!! Yep so we have to redo the 4 consecutive week count again, so I don't know whats going to happen, but I'm hoping to at least have someone baptized in this area before leaving!! Also yes I'm still the District leader, I love my district there is 7 of us now that the sisters in the zone are now a three-some!! Yea its amazing we have an amazing district its really awesome. Have this week Zone Conference this Wednesday will tell you how that goes, also will be going on exchanges with the elders in my house, I'm going with Elder Robison, who is a very new missionary its only his 2nd week in the field, I'll be working with him, and the other 2 will be together!! So yea gonna take a new missionary out for a day pretty exciting stuff here!! You guys have any pics of the Aloha Festival really miss that stuff. Also yes I received the letter from the Cartwrights also I have been getting the letters from the Nansels, but haven't gotten any recent ones, today we had mail run and I didn't get any mail!! AHH that's what I get for not writing!! GOOD NEWS though I am able to email family and friends from home, they just announced this morning that missionaries are able to email friends and other missionaries in other missions so that means Hermana Lund, Elder Nansel, Elder Atwood they will be able to email me and I will be able to reply to them. WAHOOO SWEETNES!!! The three from the ward: Elder Reidhead, Elder Schmid and Elder Pereiera, I'll just wait a couple of months!! Anyways yea so i'm able to do that and any other family members!! So instead of writing me just email me, our hours for email got extended for another hour so yea 2 hours I'm able to email!! So yea anyone is game for that send me an EMAIL!! Anyways love you all so much and miss you all tons the work is amazing and I know that what I'm doing is the best work ever its the work of the Lord!! MAHAL KITA!!!

Nagamamahal,

Elder Thompson
