Week 1: Triple Threat

President and Sister McMurray

April Arriving Group

The Trio

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
