Hey everyone!
I hope this has been a good week, it has for me, that's for sure. We picked up a new investigator named Tricia, so we will see how that goes!
There is some big news though: I'm getting transferred! I'm leaving Dixon and I am going way up North to a little town called Fortuna by Eureka. That area is pretty much the marijuana capital of the world (Humboldt County) and it also happens to be the place where the most people go missing each year. So this should be fun! I'll have some cool stories to tell pretty soon haha.
Other big news, Elder Holland is coming to Northern California to share a bunch of messages with people. He is also going to talk to our mission specifically! I can't wait to hear from this Apostle of the Lord.
Fortuna is about the same distance away from Santa Rosa as St. George is from SLC. So I'll drive up there tomorrow and drive back down on Friday to hear Elder Holland, and then drive back up on Saturday! jeez! But it's okay because it's a beautiful drive and we get to drive through "the Avenue of the Giants" which is right off of the 101 and it goes through all of those giant, famous, Redwood trees. I'm very excited.
Last Saturday, because it was the last Saturday of the transfer, we decided to see what would happen if we tracted ALL DAY. So we did that and we got a new investigator and a person that came to church on Sunday! It was very fun. We met some awesome people, saw cool cars, and even found a pen full of puppies during it!
I'll miss the people here in Dixon but it'll be good to serve the people even more northward. Things can get pretty crazy up there.
The song of the week is, "Multiplied" by NeedToBreathe. It's a good mission song that I have come to love. I'd look it up if I were you.
Also shout out to the people with birthdays in the family around this time: So happy birthday to Nini, Cami, Nate, Corbin, and Dylan! I hope it was great! The next time you hear from me, I'll be in Fortuna. So wish me luck! Oh yeah, I also picked up a J-Dub Bible (from Elder Cawley, who is headed home) so that's an interesting one. at least it looks cool....
Happy February!
Love,
Elder Thompson
