Thomson - Week 24

Dear Family,

I am getting transferred!  I am actually a little sad to leave Thomson.  I have grown to love the people here.  Plus, yesterday I had one of the most successful Sundays on my mission.  We had Becky come to church and she brought her friend Margret, we got our investigator Jeremy to church which was a big surprise, and we got a less active guy we have been working with to come back to church.  It was the Primary program and it was so funny and all of them loved it.  Jeremy expressed to us how our church just felt good and there was just good people here unlike the other churches he has been to, and he really wants to come back.

In the evening we stopped by Jeremy's house to see if he had any questions. He said unlike other churches he felt like he was learning, and he was coming closer to God.  He thanked me personally for helping him.  I am really going to miss this place because there is about to be a lot of success to be reaped.  I am glad that Elder Godwin will be able to see it for me!  After six months of hard work put into this area, which many people said was dead, it is now up and running and producing the results we desired.  I can also say that Elder Godwin will be a really great missionary on his mission.  I am so thankful that I was able to be his trainer.

I just want to express a little portion of the gratitude I feel.  I am so thankful to be on a mission!  I am so thankful for who I am becoming because of this Gospel!  I am so thankful for this wonderful Gospel and the richest blessings that it brings and how much it can change lives!  And I am so thankful for the wonderful family and friends Heavenly Father has blessed me with!  I love y'all so much!

Love,

Elder Hinrichs
