2020

Well... New Years was awesome!! We had a curfew, but we sat on our porch and watch our whole area explode with fireworks. It was super fun. But, we didn't get to sleep until like 2:30 because of the explosions and music that echoed through our little cement house and tin roof were wayyy too loud. But, it was good. 2020 is now well under way.

We had a cool experience with one of my favorite investigators. We showed up to his house and his two daughters answered the door. They started by saying "We are grateful that you have been teaching our dad..." We both thought for sure that they were going to say "BUT..." and then tell us to not come back anymore. But instead, they told us that ever since we started teaching him that he has slowly started to stop drinking and smoking. They said that they are super grateful and hope that we continue to teach him. 

This week we also spent like an hour one evening watching a few of the Book of Mormon videos with some of the members and investigators in our area. We ended up with like 30 people inside of this little house and it was super fun. 

We also studied the new Come Follow Me manual in our area for the first time. It was super cool. It will be awesome to be able to really focus on the Book of Mormon for the year. We had an awesome discussion about the 3 and 8 witnesses at the front of the Book of Mormon and talked about how we can be witnesses through the way that we live. 

That about wraps it up. We are coming into the last week of the transfer, so we will see what happens next week. Love you all!!

Love Elder Thomas
