Dear Mom,

How ya doing? This week has been a bit of a toughy for me. We lost our investigator Emmanuel and now we have to start looking for new ones. All in a weeks work for an Elder. I am really starting to have the most intense prayers of my life down here. The people, the language, it all just takes our ton of work. I am stoked to learn more.

The funny story I have for this week is it was dark and Elder Haws and I were walking home. We looked ahead and see this big ol dog squeezing through this tiny little fence. We were thinking that was pretty weird and I stopped to think about it for a couple of seconds. Elder Haws kept walking and turn around to talk to me when a huge old doberman jumped, snarling at the fence to the write. He about jumped half way into the street. I was about to fall over laughing. Oh by the way the big ol dog made it through that tiny fence and thankfully the doberman could not.

I want you to know that my testimony is growing down here. I have to constantly rely on the Lord just to do simple things like ask for a direction. The Lord definitley blesses those who rely on Him 100 percent. I know this week is going to be even better than last and that we will find success here.

Could you please give my email address to April because I don´t think I will be able to send her a letter of response. Also can you give me the email address of Seth and Geran.  Thanks!

Much Love Ma,

Elder Aaron Thomas
