Hey,

Well everyone i hope you guys are doing as good as i am because im having a blast out here in the Philippines. Well this last week it rained and then it rained some more and then it rained some more. It rained so much that the bridge we take into tabaco actually ....... i forgot the English word......fell down i guess. well ya it made going to tabaco kind of fun and actually a bus fell in with it. we had an amazing week and saw some real progression with our investigators. we gave a man a baptism date for Nov 17 and help one family fix a lot of problems and hope to see them enter the waters of baptism soon. earlier we had a fun costume party type thing and watched a movie. thats right, we are aloud to watch cartoons if approved by our president. so ya that was my week.

love elder Thompson

Hey everyone,

Well i was transfered this week. I am now down in tabaco zone in a little area called tiwi. I am so happy. My area is amazing and EVERY night we have a dinner appointment so maybe ill gain those 22 pounds i lost back. Also my new companion is SO AWESOME. He is nice, humble, patient, and a good cook. Im also the new district leader here in tabaco which is crazy. As the district leader im in charge of doing the interviews for all the people being baptized in our zone and we have a lot of baptisms coming up so i will be very buisy this next week going to everyone elses areas to give people interviews which should be kind of interesting. Here are some pics of me and my new companion also some others. well life is better then ever here in the mission field.

Love elder thompson

Family and friend

Well its been a wierd week. So transfers are getting close so everyone is getting a little antsey and people are getting a little tired with each other. This last week though these people in my area named their baby after me. The way cool thing was i got to bless it in church the day after it was born. I think that was the strongest spiritual experience in my whole life. I think i want to have a kid now so i could bless it but i guess i better wait 2 years. besides that not too much. ill tell you next week how transfers goes.

Hey friends and family

Well things here are going good as usual. Transfers are getting close again and i think i might spend at least one more transfer(6 weeks) out here in tula-tula. Its not the happiest area but we are starting to see results from all our work so thats cool. Im actually feeling kind of dead right now. Ive worked WAY hard the last two days and today we went to the volcano and hung out for our p-day. Some crazy lady there wouldnt let us pass on this one road but i talked to her for a little bit and then we couldnt get rid of her. She was like ,"you can not enter because you are not believers." she was Very, very crazy but sometimes crazy people can be kind of fun. well thats about it for me.

Love elder thompson
