Oí Família,
Surprise. I am writing an email on Tuesday and not on Wednesday because transfers will be next week (one week early due to the arrival of the new president). Our president is doing all of the interviews this week and our interviews will be tomorrow thus our p-day is today. We are working hard and we will have a baptism this week. I am very excited about it. Our investigator Tânia is very excited as well. She shows everyday how the gospel can change anyone´s life for the better.
Manys times I think where has the time gone. There is so much to do and the next time you turn around the time is gone. I guess that´s why it is so important to have goals and be focused so that you use your time to its fullest potential. I always think the mission is only two years long and it is a once in a life experience. You won´t have the mantle or the spirit with such force and intensity as you do on the mission because of the importance of the calling and the separation from the world that you make. It is the the World Cup here right now and everyone gets excited. They paint the roads, put off fireworks, and party during this time. Everyone invites you to watch the games and it is quite the temptation. We really have to be focused during this time.
I was reading in 1 Nephi 10:19 a couple days ago. It says that we will know of the mysteries of God if we will search diligently. It comes down to our desire, faith, and diligence. If we really want something. we will certainly work very hard to get it. We should seek after the good things of the world and the mysteries of God. Our purpose on this earth is ultimately to be a god and so it is important to start to learn about his ways on this earth. I have to always remember the reason for me being on this earth. It gives me so much more desire to go and do what is right.
Thanks everyone for everything that you do. Ellen, eu recebi seu pacote. Foi uma surpresa mas eu estou tão feliz. Eu sei que tu me amas.
Love you all
Elder Thompson
