Sorry No Pics This Week!

Hey yall! Sorry for the late email again, we had a awesome week. We did a ton of service and had some aweosme lessons! We had a lesson almost everyday with Emily and William since their baptism is this Sunday! I'm super excited for them but also sad because they are leaving right after their baptism to go back and live with their mom. They were just staying with their grandma here for a month or so. We have really grown a strong relationship with them and have so much fun! Today we didn't do much we went and got slushes at sonic and just hungout. We are going to have dinner and play games with Emily and William tonight. I have been studying about the atonement lately and forgiveness. I came across a scripture the other day when I was just having a bad night nothing was going to plan and the people were not hike that we were trying to visit I was frustrated and I was lead to this scripture in D&C that personally helped me and bright peace to my soul  D&C 3:9-10 9 Behold,...

Hey yall sorry for the late email, we had a great week in Oklahoma! We saw a lot of miracles happen  this week including Charles took the step to be baptized! We had stake conference this weekend and got to meet Elder Rascone of the seventy. He was super cool, today we didn't do much it was overcast and rained a little bit just hungout inside and chilled. Here's a little scripture for yall. 3 Nephi 9:20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not. What sacrifices do you need to make to come closer to Jesus Christ? Love yall don't forget to email me! Elder Thomas :)

Well howdy yall! We had a fantastic week full of miracles! Because of all the rain last week there was a lot of flooding, roads were closed with up to 4 feet of water. Than the rest of the week was insanely hot yesterday it felt like 111 degrees with the humidity That was a little frustrating trying to visit people out in the country and just get stopped by a lake in the road. After running into all this water and closed roads on Tuesday we got subway for dinner and went to the park to eat. We pull up and only one person is there at the pavilion so we go to the table by her and she is reading her Bible so we are like this is meant to be we finish eating and than start talking to her it was awesome we gave her a book of Mormon and she said she was going to read it! We have been working with this member in our branch she has 3 grandchildren living with her and 2 are not members they want to be baptized so bad so they are on date for July 4th  how cool will that be to be baptized on A...

Even Bigger Miracles This Week!

Hey yall! A great week here in Oklahoma. We had some awesome lessons and we had 5 people come to church it was a miracle! We are working with two part member families and the kids are awsome and will hopefully get baptized soon! I have a funny story for yall, on Sunday our district leader told us that he found out we could marry people. Than two days later we got a random phone call from a lady and she asked if we were the missionaries and if we could marry her and her fiance I said yeah I think so she said great let's do it today. We called our mission president and he said no only bishops and stake presidents can do that. Sadly I had to call her back and tell her that we couldn't marry her and her fiance but that would of been cool! They just moved into our branch and her fiance is getting baptized soon! Another funny story I got to ya is that we were Street contacting in walmart and got kicked out for "soliciting" our religion. We will have to get creative because ...
