Hey everybody!!

  Hey some crazy stuff happened this week and we had an enjoyable week as well!! So first of all I would send in it to the mission address mom cause it goes directly to the mission office then they send it to me in what we call mail run!! So if I were you just do what you do to send packages, to me put a picture of Jesus Christ on it and I think it would be fine!! So send it via Fed Ex and you should be fine!! Also don't worry about me being lazy do you think you really need to remind me mom come on, I'm a big boy now and I know what I need to be doing as a missionary!!  No need to be reminded, I know you love me though so that is why you are saying it, but don't worry I'll be going my hardest until I really am done!! Don't worry about those things I am strong and still ready to go my hardest!! Anyways speaking of going hard talk about getting tossed out!! IM TRANSFERRING!! Yea it really stinks, but
I kinda saw this coming, so I'm not surprised!! Anyways I'll be transferring and I do not know where, but wherever I know it is where I need to be if it means going back to the city, whatever, I know its what Heavenly Father wants!! Just going to say what I finally realized this week, I have never seen more bigger changes than I finally realized that it has been very hard to do, but so rewarding!! So speaking of that I had an amazing experience, this week with my exchanges with the Zone leaders, I got to go round 2 with Elder Acera for a day!! So the funny thing was we went on exchanges about the same time when we were comps back in Quezon City 4th ward. So almost a year after we were comps!! The greatest thing about it was when, we had our after we had our after exchange evaluation!! Just like every other person you get kinda nervous about what that missionary says, but what I got was this "Elder Thompson, after only a year you have completely turned around, we have really realized that here in Binangonan" After hearing that gave me the most best relief that I have been changing and it has been bigger than I have realized!! Really made me more happy and satisfied about what I have been doing!! It was an amazing exchange!! Really opened my eyes and made me feel that I need to keep going and doing what I know is right!! So like I said earlier, don't count on me starting to be lazy!! Smiley comes home this week!! Wow where has the time gone!! Its ridiculous!! Anyways I'll be getting a new companion, and I don't know where I'm going but I will let you know in the next email!! Anyways this was an amazing week and loved it!! Love you all too!!

 Mga kapatid!!(brothers and sisters)

Hey another great and marvelous week is gone and done and really didn't see anyone getting crucified on the street so I'm pretty happy about that!! It was overall another amazing week, we are really starting to see progress in our area, we are really getting the area going now!! We had 10 investigators at church today and honestly I was so happy about it!!! Its amazing to be able to continue to do our best and the companionship is going so well, my companion has helped me so much to grow and continue to really become who my Heavenly Father wants me to be!! It has been an awesome companionship!! Hes a great comp and we have transfers coming up pretty soon here!! Really not excited about this I think that I may transfer, but who knows you never really do!! We have been getting nothing but success for what we have been doing, being obedient, as well as going our best to stay busy and be the best that we can be!! Anyways I wouldn't mind speaking with a high councilman, that would be no problem for me at all so that I do it the week that I get home so that, I''ll be able to do it right away!! So tell Bishop Hitchcock I'll be willing to do that!! Anyways sound good to me that we will prepare first before I do anything else, but so you know it takes over a 6 week transfer to get all those done need to do it as soon as possible, but lets definitely not rush it!! Anyways I don't see myself having a big problem with my luggage those things really aren't that big, and heavy, if you really think about it!!

It's going to be so cool to be able to see one of my old comps a lot more frequently after the mission, hopefully will get to see all of them again, its amazing here the mission is really been the real testing ground for everything that I do!! It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done mentally, physically and all those other things!! It has been the key to my growth in myself and my growth in the gospel!! Anyways I had an amazing week and i have exchanges with the ZL's tomorrow, going to be exciting working with Elder Acera so I'm going on exchanges with one of my old companions we are going round 2 for a day wahoo!! Great week love you all so much and Mom keep me updated on those things, will let you know about transfers and all that stuff next email day!!! Love you all MAHAL KITA ( i love you),

Nagmamahal, (love)
Elder Thompson
