Elder Henry H. Thompson: Like a Really Small Seminary With Old People

3.5.18

I think I experienced one of the most "missionary" things that could happen to someone this week: because it is the #PacificNorthWest, it rains hard a lot in the winter. It just so happened to be raining a lot this week when Elder Kelly and I found, after a great lesson, that we had a flat tire and our wheel was touching the ground pretty much. So we had to change that tire real quick so that we didn't get completely soaked but yeah, a very missionary thing to happen.

Other than that, we did a lot of work down in southern Humboldt this week, Miranda, Weott, Myers Flat, and Garberville. Somehow we made it out alive... and with 2 new investigators! That was a good feeling! Also on Sunday we went to a branch that we cover down in Miranda and there were 9 people there. It was like a really small Seminary with old people. We blessed the sacrament, gave both prayers and bore our testimonies. I thought "man, that's real dedication there" because it would be very hard to go with so few people attending. They really appreciated us coming down for sure. So appreciative that we got asked to speak next week....

Today, we went to the beach more northward called "Trinidad." We went on a hike and walked the beach a while. It was cool looking out there to think that Bryce is just on the other side. (I yelled "hey Bryce" if you heard it, Bryce.) It was a beautiful hike and a wonderful beach. I'll attach pictures. We also found a cool cross that we took pictures by as well.

Things are great here! Just trying to find more people to teach so that will be our main focus for this upcoming week. Wish me luck!

The Song Of The Week this week is "She" by Green Day because it's a classic and I learned this week that Green Day came out with a greatest hits album and the best part is the name of it: "God's Favorite Band" I love it!

Have a great week everyone!
