Transfers!

or Christmas week we will have a 2 hour p-day on Monday (10-12) which hopefully will give you enough time to do your shopping and wash, but no letters. Then on Christmas Day you can take it as a full P-day (10-5) and call/skype your family. Please let you family know this p-day not to expect a letter on next monday. We will talk about some other guidelines for Christmas day on Tuesday. Dont worry, i will get whoever we are skyping with to call you :) Great to hear! I am getting transferred, it has been some good times in Carlsbad 1st ward. Definately one of the best wards i have been in . They are on fire for missionary work. Great ward leadership and the ward just is all about love. Good times, and so many friends here haha what can i say. And the Bishops family are really funny. But good times, the last few months we have been working with this awesome soon to be service missionary and he is great. He does whatever we need whenever we need. He gives us rides anywhere and everywhere and he helps bring the spirit in very strong in our lesson and helps fellowship our investigators like crazy. He is very relatable and teaches simply in a understanding and conversational way and is still a member so it comes from someone else also when we talk about commitments and other things. He really helps out with whatever we need and is just awesome. very loving hard working man. Ohh and hilarious too haha. It's interesting when you look back, i tried to help the missionaries a ton back home, but nothing like this he is ALWAYS with us more than a few hours each day. Always talking it up. Heck of a guy. Soo many members and others that i could talk about, just so many good times. Last Saturday night they had the ward christmas party, and you could feel the love of them and Jesus Christ. There were a few nonmembers there and they played a powerful slideshow of pictures of christ with apostles and prophets in the background. Holy Moly. I am grateful i have been able to serve with such AWESOME people. It's been almost 6 months so... haha the rest is history. Also, mom our P-day will pretty much be on Christmas Day, so i will be just skyping you then, no emails on Monday. I will give your email adress to whoever it is that we are skyping at and they will email you. Also, i am sure the package will be there, if not that is A-OK. But it has been a blast to serve here in C-BAD california. right now i think the Temperature is about 70 degrees with the beach 1/2 a mile a way :) It has been a great week though! We were able to see a lot of miracles. And will proably see some more. Elder Bowman is great, he has really enabled me to serve with all of my heart might mind and strength. Had asome good times haha and some hilarious times. Heavenly Father is great. Merry Christmas!! Elder Thompson
