week 79: a new year


Cal City Elders

     Hey Everyone, not a whole lot is going on out here in Cal City.

     This week we were working hard and we're trying to start up a bible study class. Things have definitely been slow, especially during the holidays. We got the chance to practice teaching with our mission president and it helped a ton! We also got to work with the Mendoza and Gonzales family. Honestly I don't have too much to talk about. We watched a super cool MTC devotional where Elder Matthew Holland spoke about Joseph Smith and shared some stories I've never heard about him. He talked about the path to Palmyra, and it was one filled with misfortune, difficulty and suffering. But in spite of all of that, and in sometimes because of that, Joseph was taken exactly where he needed to be. I testify of this. 2020 was not a kind, or easy year. I have traveled from Mexico, back home, and then from there to California. I've gone through a lot of changes, adjustments, and struggles. Let me tell you all something. I would not trade 2020 for any other year. I've grown in so many ways and I'm very grateful for all that's happened.

--Elder Thompson





Happy New Years!
