Best day of mission so far! Carlsbad, California

Mom,
GREAT Wonderful week! Haha we had some good time. But seriously, this last Thursday was probably one of the BEST days of my mission. It was pretty awesome, i didnt even know what to do! 1st that day at 1oclock we stopped by one of our potentials and BAM we were able to teach her the restoration and she accepted baptism. 2nds just 2 hours later we went to stop by one of our investigators Gus just as a pop in because we werent sure if we were going to be able to teach him or not. But he wasnt there//but his 13yr old brother was so we taught him for the first time and same things. Very very powerful 10 minute lesson afterwich we ivited him to be baptized on the 21st and he accepted. AMAZING! and now we have a family inviting them over this week. 3rd. Right after Gus (seconds later literally) we were pondering wether we should say a quick prayer and thank Heavenly Father or wether we should contact this guy walking towards us. Well we contacted him and he rejected us haha good stuff. Then he turned around two seconds later and said "sorry guys, i'll hear your message" So Bam. On the sidewalk. While teaching him he said he just felt something tell him to listen to us. 4th Our investigator Cole came to mutual and we have an awesome family in the ward that was ON TOP of getting him there and getting everything worked out and he loved the activity. 5th. We were walking out of an active member lesson that the stake is having us give and we contact this family from tawaiin. Two kids specifically, they say we can come back. But we ended up getting some chairs and teaching them right there as directed by the spirit. They understood slightly what we were saying until the 1st vision which they didnt understand however they felt the spirit when my companion shared it and so we invited them as directed to be baptized and BAM. the rest is history.. Also, a month and half ago a member ordered a chinese Book of Mormon. that came in only two days before we met these chinese kids. and they have a chinese member that lives just around the corner. CRAZY miracles All in the same general area!!! The Zone is on fire right now! We arent sure what is going on! It is crazy! Heavenly Father is pouring out blessings we dont even know what to do! just work work work. This isnt me boasting, just sharing the blessings from Heavenly Father, he is the one who does all this WORK. Also, Allan Packer is coming on Wednesday for a meeting! and we got into Ward Council! Great week!
Please dont share that with anyone. If you could just say that we had a wonderful week, our ward council is great and heavenly Father poured out lots of blessings thanks mom! Love your son, Elder Thompson
