Family,
This week has been
great. I have been listening to the 182 Semi-Annual General Conference because
it has been on my i-pod shuffle and I haven't known it..... But I have been
uplifted in so many ways by the Spirit of the Lord. I have listened to the
talks repeatedly and have learned a great amount.
I want to invite you
to read or listen to Elder Holland's talk in the Sunday morning session and
Elder Hales talk in the Sunday afternoon session.

This week was
great.
I can't remember if I
shared this with you, but Richard has the Aaronic Priesthood and is ordained to
the office of a priest. He is the man. My best friend.
This last week was
very special as well as our new convert Lee Min Seoung received the Aaronic
Priesthood, being ordained to the office of a Priest as well. He is such a
stud. His attitude towards all things is so great. He is always smiling and is
positive. My favorite member in Onyang bought him a suit and gave it to him
yesterday at church. He loooks super goood.
This last week we
have been focusing on finding new investigators to teach!
It has been very
upbeat and uplifting. We have found so many cool and interesting people this
last week. We have met with them and they seem to have a little interest in the
message we are sharing. We are excited to continue teaching and helping them
progress.
One of our
investigators now is living alone. He is divorced and has had a very rough life
since his divorce. We are helping him to understand Jesus Christ and His Atonement. He has a firm belief in God but doesn't understand why we need
Christ. We invited him last time to pray in the name of Jesus Christ and to ask
for understanding. He did so. The next time we met and followed up on our
commitment, he told us of his experience and what he came to know for himself
(testimony). He said, "Without Christ we are nothing. We can't go anywhere
and we cannot progress." Very cool experience
and we look forward to continue helping him on his personal path to salvation!
Dad just sent me a
quote that I want to end with.
"If, in the end,
you have not chosen Jesus Christ, it will not matter what you have chosen."
- Neal A Maxwell
I love you all. Have
a great week and be safe. Follow the Spirit in all things.
Love,
Elder Cole Thomas
