Adventures Along The 101




Hey, so this week was probably the most average week ever, but there were still some highlights. 


We helped a member move for like 5 hours which was cool at first but then it got super old and we were starving. But the good news is that I'm probably the most ripped human on earth now. I might even have Zach beat. (BTW today is his birthday, so happy birthday Zach!) 

We also got the chance to go with a member to a Pacific Islander festival right here in town where another member was performing! It was fun to be able to learn more about the culture and it also brought back some good memories of luaus at East High. There was some solid food and I even met some members who lived in West Valley City for a bit. 

We did a lot of tracting this week which was good.  I try my best to talk to everyone we come in contact with instead of just saying "hi" and walking past them.  If I didn't talk to everyone, I would have never met Brodee, so I don't want to miss any of those opportunities!

I also went on exchanges with an Elder named Elder Gibb. It was fun and I was able to spend the day down in San Rafael. That place is so crazy, I'm not used to being in the big city. There is a ton of traffic so I guess you could say I'm a true California driver now. We met some nice people though and I got to perfect my Spanish. 

We met three awesome people this week:  Caleb, Jade, and BJ. All super cool guys who each asked some awesome questions about the Plan of Salvation, which we were able to answer! We met them separately but they all asked for materials to read. Hopefully I'll be able to update you on them at a later date.  Kenya is still trying to overcome some things but we are optimistic that she will be baptized in time, in the meantime we will keep teaching her.

I have just been informed that this past week was National Dog Day? So I'd like to give a special shout out to the good pooches in my life: namely Chance, Mushy, Piper, Pogi, other Piper, Scout, Diesel, Maddie, Elsie, and Keef AKA Chadwick and so many more... What's better than this? Dogs being pooches. 

The song of the week is Good Directions by Billy Currington (dad will be happy).  Or you could also listen to Elephant by Tame Impala.. You get a double teamer this week...  you're welcome. 

Hope all is well! 

Love, Elder Thompson
