First week in Fortuna! It's been great. The drive up was beautiful and I had the chance to do it twice! The first day that I was here, we were able to set a baptismal date with an investigator so she is getting baptized on the 28th!
Our apartment is awesome too, we live in the guest house of a member and they're super cool and the place is pretty big! They also have two dogs, huskies. Every apartment should come with dogs.
The highlight of this week was going down to Santa Rosa to hear Elder Jeffrey R. Holland give our mission a special devotional! He talked to us about his mission and things we can do to make the most out of our mission! The Spirit was so strong there and I have no doubt that he is an Apostle of the Lord. I'll never forget the feeling that I had during the meeting. One quote that I really loved was, "Whatever ladder you need to climb, climb it!" I would encourage you all to read one of his talks!
The song of this week is "You Found Me" by the fray, because I heard it somewhere this week and it reminded me of when Jack, Dallen, and Bryce would make fun of it. They also opened for U2 when we saw them in 2011. Most of Hank's "Songs of the Week" he can't listen to on the mission. Usually they're what's in his head at the moment... memories and favorites.
Have a great week everyone! I'll update you next week on how we are saving Fortuna!
Love Elder Thompson
P.S. We just learned that Hank's new Mission President will be Bradley J. Bentley, a physician from American Fork. Anyone know him?
