Elder Thomson Ft. Collins Colorado

Hey y’all I hope everyone is doing well. This week has been a little different once again. (Pictures from Tuesday:) To be honest, not much happened on Wednesday, but we did a lot of tracting because we didn't have a lot of lessons planned and we found 8 new people and had a great dinner. Then we came back to our house to clean because we had apartment inspections the next day. We wanted to make sure everything was clean before they came. Not much happened on Thursday, but Friday was my first ever exchange with the zone leaders. I had a really good time learning new things from them because they're really good missionaries. I got to meet a lot of new interesting people, including someone who tried to use star trek to disprove Jesus Christ. I learned a lot from the ZL'S. They taught me great ways to connect with people when you first meet them and how to be more confident in doing the work. Saturday, we had an amazing lesson where we got to teach about the history an...

  Hello how's everyone doing?  hope you're doing well and had an enjoyable week. I know you're probably checking your email inbox every 10 minutes yesterday and I'm sorry I forgot to say that it zone conference on Monday and my P-Day was Tuesday this week in my last email.

On Tuesday, I was having a really hard morning and was feeling really homesick So I knelt down and prayed and prayed hard and got the feeling that I needed to read my Book of Mormon more and pray that I would have peace and strength in this hard time. I've gotta tell you as I've followed those promptings, I have been less homesick and have been able to focus on the work.  Tuesday, for dinner, we went over to a member's house and I had elk for the first time, which I probably had it in a way you're not...

  What's up, y'all? I hope everything's going well. (Keep scrolling, text and pictures mixed!) Things are going okay for me out here. My last email left me off at the MTC with a couple days left. My last couple days at the MTC were pretty good. Went to the gym, went to my classes and hung out with my MTC district. They are all amazing people that I love and I'm so sad that I don't get to hang out with them every day like I used to.  And of course we had everyone's favorite, general conference which as a missionary is one of the most spiritual impact full things you can do. They had amazing topics.I especially liked the Elder Cook's talk when he talked about the Casper temple here in Wyoming.  On Saturday, in the afternoon between sessions of the general conference, the cafeteria was serving steaks. I got challenged to eat as many as possible. I managed to eat 5 of them, which was a terrible decision because they were all terrible. Sunday was also amazing and...
