The Best 2 Years: Elder Jace Thompson in Omaha/Japan: the one with the sick inactive member

"Boom, you looking for this?"

Starting with Monday, we had a pretty chill P day and didn't do too much... Just got lunch, talked with the fam, checked out a couple of stores, and chilled in the apartment... Not too much going on in Kawachinagano 😅😅

Tuesday, we had exchanges, and I was with Elder Perez! He is a pretty sick dude, and we had a good time! We also had district council, and it was our first one of the transfer... Kinda late, but it was good, and we talked about how we can help each other and different ways to do finding!

Wednesday, we visited an inactive member that we had set up lunch with, and one of her friends (who is an active member) came, and we all ate together! It was actually super fun, and the inactive member is so awesome! She is from the Philippines and was hilarious! While talking, I laughed the hardest I've laughed in a MINUTE🤣🤣🤣

Thursday, we had more exchanges, and I was with Elder Bergener! We spent pretty much the whole day walking to an apartment pretty far away, talking to everyone on the way, and then knocked about 100 doors! Sadly, no one was interested, but it was still a fun day, and it was fun to get to know a new elder!😁😁

Friday, we had our game night again, and our amazing family pulled up! 😁😁 Her kids are starting to warm up to me, and they said they want to come every week! 😆😆 Hopefully, everything will keep going well with them, and they will hopefully come to church next week🙏🙏

Saturday, we had a big primary activity that we got invited to, and we did a bunch of different activities with the kids! 😆😆

They were all so cute and so much fun to be around! 😆😆 After that, the rest of our day was filled with finding as usual! 😁😁

Sunday was also good! We had a good day at church, and it is always good to see the members! 😁😁 We had Ward council after church and talked about different ways we can help the ward and how they can help us! 😁

After that, I had to call the missionaries in my district as well as a couple of other things, so we didn't get too much time for finding😅😅

Spiritual thought:

1 Nephi 7:12

Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.

Faith is essential for healing by the powers of heaven. The Book of Mormon even teaches that “if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them.” In a notable talk on administering to the sick, President Spencer W. Kimball said: “The need of faith is often underestimated. The ill one and the family often seem to depend wholly on the power of the priesthood and the gift of healing that they hope the administering brethren may have, whereas the greater responsibility is with him who is blessed. … The major element is the faith of the individual when that person is conscious and accountable. ‘Thy faith hath made thee whole’ was repeated so often by the Master that it almost became a chorus.”
