Mom Note: It was my turn to be the evil parent and not get the email sent on time! So, poor Elder Thorderson didn't get an email from mom...No need to beat me up about it--I already did!
Hey fam!
First half-week down. Things are going pretty well with Elder Godoy! He is awesome and we are going to tear this branch up! Last week, he and his old companion Elder Correa found a lady named Celina who had already been taught by the missionaries (a lot), got a testimony, then moved and lost contact with the missionaries. So we taught her once, and she came to church yesterday. She just accepted a baptismal date of the 2nd of May, and I think she'll follow through! We also went and visited a friend of one of the sisters in our ward, and tought her for an hour and a half! She (Nilda) had a ton of questions, but the day after we taught her for the first time, she came to church! I am sure she is going to get baptized too. We are planning on setting a date of the 9th of May, but we have to teach her some more because she is a little old and has studied all sorts of religions, so we need to make sure she's all straightened out and has a testimony before we get her wet. We also have Tony and Patricia. We found Patricia first, and tought her the first lesson. She read the pamphlet we left her, and when we came back for the next visit, she had a friend to listen to us too, and she said that when she was reading the pamphlet she felt an incredible peace. So we taught the friend, and she is interested too because a lot of bad stuff has happened to her, and then Saturday we went by and found Patricia's husband Tony and tought him. They are progressing pretty rapidly. They live out in an area that is rarely visted by Elders, but I think it is a very fruitful vineyard out there!
Let's see... stuff for my next package... Lots of American candy, lots of chocolate. Whoppers, Milk Duds, and Gobstoppers. Gobstoppers you can find here, they are just pretty expensive. And send a soft case for a keyboard.
I'm kinda running out of things to talk about while I wait for your email... I guess this Las Vegas trip is just too fun to talk to your son that is in Uruguay! Well my time is out waiting for your email, so I'll talk to you all next week I guess. I sent a piece of mail to the fam for redistribution, along with the SD card from all my CCM and Las Piedras pictures, and a picture of my CCM group.
I think I am going to buy the keyboard... I haven't made up my mind though, but if a lot of money disappears, don't be surprised, I guess.
Love you all and I am looking forward to a very big letter next Monday!
