Well family!!!
This was a great week in the life of sister missionary Irmã thompson. We had some really great teaching moments and the work is really going forward. We have been really working hard to help the members and everyone with whom we come in contact feel that we really love them and have prepared a message especially for them. Yesterday during my studies I studied the topical guide entry about families and it was really great. Then we were able to really have some great lessons with some people who are the only members in their family (which is about everyone) What I learned is that the gospel really does bless families and makes it able for them to really be eternal. The gospel is constructed in generations and each generation is so important. For example, even though Joseph Smith's great-great-grandfather did not have the fullness of the gospel, he made choices and tried to do what was right which helped his posteirity be prepared to make choices and with every successive generation the restoration was closer and more possible. Anyway, just that our choices really do influence those before and after us and that the Lord has prepared a perfect plan whereby all of our families really can be made eternal. THE PLAN IS PERFECT. Anyway, sorry to run, but we have to catch a train to Porto today...luncheon for the sisters :) I made ginger cookies last night too...Thanks Janie...they'll be so yummy.
Love you all and I promise that one of these days I'll write a nice long, thought out letter. I just know that the gospel of Jesus Christ really makes people happy (ie. me) and it brings so much hope, responsibility, but hope and joy. Take care and keep warm.!
