We Out About and We Workin'

Dear Family and Friends,

Some quick updates:

Last Monday was crazy. While we were out getting lunch we got a call
from a woman named Adrienne. Elder Angle met Adrienne in a parking lot
a few weeks ago. We got to talk to her while her husband worked on a
locksmith job in the back. It was a delightful conversation and we
learned a lot about her. Her father was dying soon and we got to
testify of the plan of salvation and eternal families. We also learned
she was moving and stayed in contact through texting. When Adrienne
called us on Monday she was asking for our help with moving. It was
preparation day, but who cares! When God's children need help, you go
no matter the cost. It was so cool and they were extremely grateful!
We were able to lift some very large boxes that they may not have been
able to lift and get to know them really well. They are a wonderful
Christian family and they have very great potential. She wants to have
us up for dinner as soon as she can!

Randy is continuing to progress! He has asked us to read the Book of
Mormon with them every time when we come over. He is reading on his
own when he has time too. His son RJ has autism but he loves the
gospel! We love this family.

This week we had a meeting with a man named Joe Jessop who is a church
historian. We call it the Pinesdale meeting because he teaches us the
history behind Pinesdale and the reason for some of their different
doctrines. It is a very detailed meeting and so much information is
brought forward. I love it, it helps us understand where our Pinesdale
investigators are coming from.

We had a second meeting with Michael! We taught about the Restoration
of the gospel. Michael was very receptive and loves meeting with us.
We brought a member with us who is a wrestler because Michael loves
wrestling. It was such a perfect fit! We invited him to be baptized
but he felt he wasn't ready to make that commitment yet. He said he
might be in the future. The member we brought invited him to church
and even said he would pick him up. He seemed like he wanted to go!

Will and Kara have had their general authority interview, and it was
such a wonderful experience for them! They spoke of the powerful
presence of the spirit and the love they felt. We are so happy for
them.

As of right now that is all I have time for. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Love,
Elder Thomas
