THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME ON PREPARATION DAY. I want to recite the whole week to each of you but there is just not enough time.
Had a wonderful exchange with Elder Christian Wells this week in Hamilton. He went to American Fork High School as well!! What a small world. It was a truly blessed exchange.
The main event I want to touch on this week is what we called the "Finding Blitz." The sisters in the Darby and Blodgett Canyon area have been having a hard time finding so we decided to devote an entire day to finding people for them to teach. The main principles we were relying on were fasting and prayer. We fasted all day but the finding blitz was only from 11:00-3:30. During that time we walked through the streets of Hamilton and talked to every single person we saw, knocking on doors when we felt impressed to do so. Every turn we came to, we relied on the spirit to tell us which way to go. It was incredible. In that short time we talked to a ton of people and even found three new promising investigators for the sisters. We also stopped and prayed after every person we talked to. One of the coolest learning experiences I have had on mission. Doing finding any other way is futile. This paragraph is especially for future missionaries. If you learn anything from this letter, learn this. Missionary work without prayer and listening to the spirit is like baptism without priesthood, basically pointless. Never forget this principle.
Sadly this is all I have time for, except to tell you that Joel and Marilyn had their LAST INTERVIEW with President Wadsworth! Now they will be having a baptism in the next two weeks. Will and Kara, and Amy Weidow all had their first interviews with President Wadsworth!
Love,
Elder Thomas
