Not much time to write...I love the Gospel. It is the best.

Hey Family,

I don’t have a lot of time so I will keep this short. I was reading your emails but I will have to print them off. 

All is well here! I loved conference. So many great talks about being disciples of Christ. Much more about improving personally.  The world’s values are decreasing more and more every day and we need to be prepared.  I am excited to get the Liahona in a month with all the talks.

Monday we had concilio. It was pretty good. I was able to see a bunch of my buddies (Elder Whatcott, Huber, Dahlin, Olvera). It was nice. We talked about working more with members. I really want to help the zone set up plans in all their areas. 

We had the zone meeting yesterday and that went well. We have 7 companionships in our zone. My area is super pretty. Lots of traveling to a bunch of little pueblos. I love this area. We also have a nice house. :)

Being zone leader is good. I am learning a ton and I love being able to serve other people. 

My companion is great. He is so nice and we have a ton in common. He reminds me of Elder Dahlin a bit. We have some people that are progressing and we are hoping a family will be baptized this week.

Today we had interviews with President. They went well. He is a funny guy but I sure respect him a ton. 

I am doing well. Excited for my birthday! We plan to buy pizza at night  :)  Sorry I don’t have more time. Thanks for thinking of me. I love you all. I love the Gospel. It is the best.

-Elder Thomas

P.S. - Happy Birthday April and James!

 P.P.S. – Dad, Hope you get the house fixed okay! Ehhh that’s frustrating. At least you have hot water. We didn’t have hot water last week. Haha.  Cold showers are not fun. We got it back though :) Love you lots Dad!
