Amazing week

Mom, its all good! Those are alot of letters thank you! I read three of them but havent read the Dear. Elder one, but i will read that one after i write this letter. I hope you get better! And no, i do not know about where I will be. But hopefully here in Carlsbad, because we are having some AMAZING experiences, ad such a great hilarious fun time. I will send you some pics later hopefully. We have a Zone activity that starts in half an hour so we dont have too much time. But seriously god times. I hope you get better! Thanksgiving should be fun! Best time to find people at home. So if someone knocks on your door during thanksgiving..open it and let them in. Haha just kidding. But really, also, dont forget to eat some pomegranets. Holy cow, amazing week. Really. IT was amazing. Soo many BIG miracles. First of all, last night we stopped by a member referral and it was a family of five we had met earlier but had not taught. They were very nice and how we had met them was a member invited them over to a soup and donuts outside dinner on halloween nigtht. So last night our appt fell through so we were in the area and we knock on there door and they let us in. It was an AMAZING experience. They were super receptive.They have had some amazing experiences that have helped them turn to god. we asked them if they had ever wondered why they were here and they said YES. And also there 15 year old son had sincerley recently been searching on the internet to find out what happens after this life. Then of course we shared the restoration and there daughter who is extremely smart said she knew docterine was changed after christs death. The spirit was there from the moment we asked if we could share a ten minute message with them. We ended up staying almost an hour. They are a great family. When Elder Bowman shared the first vision the spirit was SOO stong. like very very strong and they all felt it and said they felt it and they all said they would read and pray from the Book of Mormon and ask if it is true. It was an amazing experience. We both walked out of the house just mesmorized. Hopefully something will come of it, if not, later down the road something will come of it to the kids at the very least. We are going back on Wednesday and Friday to teach them again. And they gave us a ton of food on our way out they were very nice.If I were to say I or my companion had absolutely anything to do with that HUGE miracle that would be a lie. Literally we walked out and that was one of the first things that came to my mind. When people are truly prepared, Heavenly Father is the one that does this work. and he does all of it. We also had a lesson with our neighbor in our apartment complex. Holy cow the spirit was very strong there. There was a Columbian missionary there with us and he bore his testimony after the first vision and we couldnt harldy understand what he was saying but the spirit just came into the room and was soo strong and our nieghbor was glued. She said the closing prayer copying the words of the other missionary that was with us and as she did she started crying and was asked "am i supposed to feel like this?" "I get all emotional that is why i dont go to churchs and things" "what is this?" The spirit was very very strong and so recognizabvle and undeniable. It was there and we all felt it. She is reading and praying from the book of Mormon also. We also recieved a training from Elder PAcker of the seventy to pilot a new family history program for the Church called "My Family." As soon as Elder PAcker entered the room the spirit just swooped in and I felt it and felt that he was someone called by God. His trainings were very powerful also. Great week too many experiences to write. Gots to go have a good week! Share the gospel its the best! -Elder Thompson Just share the second story thanks mom and thanks for all the emails! Hope you get better! happy turkewy day! Love, Elder Thompson
