What a week. Long, hard, spiritual, and rewarding.
This week went by super quick. We're super busy and most of
our days usually consist of lessons and finding new people to teach. We
taught a lot of progressing investigators throughout the week, we are super
close with a lot of them, they just have some personal struggles to deal with
but I know that the spirit will be able to reach their hearts.
It's so awesome to be able to go out and testify of truth
everyday and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. We had a baptism on
Saturday of a lady who has been investigating the church for about 40 years now
and she finally got baptized. She has a super cool story and the spirit was so
strong at the service. We also got to meet with the lady we put on date for
baptism last week to give her the lessons required before the interview. She is
such an incredible person and she has a very strong testimony.
Honestly most of this week has been a blur but it's been
enjoyable. We went to the temple this morning and that was one of the biggest
highlights of this all so far. It brings such peace and comfort to me to go
there.
Me and my companions are getting along super well and we're
figuring out how to teach all together and it's fantastic. We've been able to
really become effective. I'm looking forward to the upcoming week cause we're
pretty packed.
Love you guys

Hello, Brother and Sister Thacker!
I hope that you are well! I thought that you might
enjoy the letter which one of your son's companions wrote to me this
week. It touched my heart. I share this with Elder Treanor's
permission...
President,
This week has been incredible. We were able to
commit a woman named RJ to baptism last night. It was an incredible experience
to have Elder Thacker there. He bore amazing testimony of the Book of Mormon
and that is ultimately what did it for her. We saw during that lesson her come
to the knowledge that the Book of Mormon is true. Elder Thacker is supposed to
be here and we are already seeing miracles because of his service. I cannot
wait for these next three weeks to spend with him and help train him. He is
supposed to be here, there is know doubt in my mind. Thank you President for
knowing and placing Elder Bennett, Elder Thacker, and me in this area. Last
night was a special night and it has changed me forever. Thank you President.
Love
Elder Treanor
I
am confident that God needed Elder Thacker to serve in the Colorado Fort
Collins Mission at this time. We are grateful that he has been assigned
to labor here!
Love,
President Sean S. McMurray
