Elder Henry H. Thompson: Nerf Wars, Star Wars, and Exchanges

3.19.18

I hope everyone had a fun St. Paddy's Day! I was able to celebrate by wearing my green tie and my leprechaun hat! We also had corned beef and cabbage that night.

Also, Happy Birthday to Molly! 14!!
We had a great week this week! Not too many super solid investigators but we are working our way up there! Also trying to help a recent convert get to the temple. Medford, Oregon is the closest temple.

I went on exchanges to Arcata with my District Leader and we found 6 new investigators. It was crazy! We also extended a baptismal date. It was a good productive day, those are always good. We also had a nerf war with the Elders Quorum so that was interesting... and had crab for dinner, benefits of being on the coast. I burned a tie to commemorate my 6 month mark.

I was also able to attend the baptism of someone that my trainee, Elder Jones, had taught. The Spirit was strong that what these people are doing is right. If there is a baptism near where you are, I recommend you go to it! You won't regret it.

We went to Sequoia Park which is in the middle of Eureka. It's beautiful and where they filmed part of Star Wars: Return of The Jedi, the Endor scene.

I'm getting excited for Conference coming up soon! I have a new-found love for hearing the words of these apostles, prophets, and leaders. Please watch Conference and feel the truthfulness of what these great men and women are saying. It's a really great time of year with Easter and Conference coming up, so please take advantage of it.

The song for this week is "Higher Ground" by my man, Stevie Wonder. A classic!

Shout out to East High Lax, by the way. Wish I could be at the Coach Hearn Memorial Game. Keep putting in work so you can wreck people in the playoffs this year. I'd love to hear from some of you as well!

Much love everyone,

Elder Thompson
