Mission Tour

This week was awesome. We honestly didn't get a ton of work done in our area, but it was a super good week. Elder Wokolo of the Seventy came and presided at our mission tour. It was super cool. We focused the mission tour around finding answers to the "questions of the soul" from the Book of Mormon. Using the Book of Mormon in every phase of the work is the way that we see miracles. We also talked about what we can do to hasten the work. The work needs to be hastened because every day brings us closer to the second coming of our Savior. It is our job to be prepared, and help others prepare for the day that he will come.

We also had a meeting with all of the zone leaders in the mission. It was super cool. Elder Wokolo led a discussion about working with members and working with faith. He told us that every time that we get out of the house, we need to know in our mind that God has prepared someone for us to meet that day. God is preparing people always!! We are all a part of this great work and it is our job to help our siblings inside of the church and out. 

This week we were also blessed with a baptism to cap of the awesome week. Justin Blaza was baptized. He is the 6th member of his family to be baptized over the last 2 years. They are all awesome, but have progressed at their own pace. He was finally ready and was super excited. He is super shy, but bore a short and powerful testimony about how the Spirit helped him to change. 

I love you all and am grateful for the thoughts and prayers.

Elder Thomas
