This week was pretty crazy. We spent a lot of it in Santa Rosa and that was sweet to see a lot of people but it was tough because we weren't able to do as much work as I would have liked.
It all started on Tuesday, we went to transfers and I picked up Elder Staten, from Tooele, Utah. We get along nicely. We cleaned the apartment and did some good work as well. We had a fantastic church tour with Barbara this past Tuesday! We had some wonderful members come with us and while they were pulling in to park, Barbara thought that they were going to hit her truck and when she got out she said, "if you hit my truck, I'm not joining your church!" haha, it was pretty funny. She loved the church tour and seemed like she was more comfortable with coming to church on Sunday now that she had seen what it would be like. We have another lesson with her this Tuesday and we are going to talk about baptism! I have faith that it'll go well.
On Wednesday, we went to the trainers meeting to meet Elder Van Katwyk, from Tracy, CA. He is a great guy and he adds a lot to our companionship. He wants to work and be obedient, which is what every trainer wants!

We had more meetings on Thursday which made for a long day but it's alright.
On Friday, we had another meeting, ugh. It was MLC though so it was fun. But dang, so many meetings! I got to see some good friends and that was great. We were invited to the mission home and had an amazing lunch with the Meservys and their kids... it was super fun. It was a nice thing for them to do for us. The Mission Home here is crazy nice! It's up in the hills of Santa Rosa in this little separate community.

We had the ward Christmas party on Saturday night and that was fun as well. We also had another meeting on Saturday morning. So sorry this is short but the whole week was meetings.
This upcoming week, we will have more time to work and more people to find!
We found a really awesome guy named Morgan, who let us right into his home and we taught him. His pitbull wouldn't stop barking so I had to stand and pet it the whole time so it wouldn't bark like crazy. It was a cute pitbull so I didn't have a problem with it.
We found a few others this week too which was nice, hopefully we get in contact with them again!
Huge shoutout to the Foothill 7th Ward for the killer Christmas package! It was a great surprise to get! Thank you for thinking of the many awesome things to put in there! I definitely feel the love! Foothill 7th is the very best!
The Song of the Week is Simple Man by Lynrd Skynrd. That is a great one!
Have a terrific week this week! Remember to follow Light The World and make this world a better place. Merry Christmas everyone and also remember the real reason we celebrate this season.
Love, Elder Thompson
