Another week has passed by and I have no idea what to write about. What in particular would you all like to read or hear about?
I
am the English leader again and we are back to using the old book (the one
Lorri worked on). The new program isn't ready yet. Apparently Udon
used to have a really good-sized English class but then it started to die
down. Now there aren't that many people that come. We are going to try
to change that but really I have no idea how to. The first step is
putting up flyers. That should help a lot.
Last
week for p-day we went to a statue garden. The statues are a mix of
Buddhist and Hindu and are super interesting. They are made of wood
and sooooo huge. I'll attach some pictures.
Monday night we had FHE at a member's house. It was fun. The member and
her parents have both been sealed in the temple. That's so rare and
soooo cool! They showed us their temple sealing certificate - it was
framed.
Do missionaries in the states do FHE at member's houses? Did that lady that mom was helping drive around ever get baptized?
Wednesday
I went to Nong Kai for a switch-off. It was fun. I saw some missionaries
that I have served with in the past which was a lot of fun. It's cool
seeing them again especially now that we have all changed.
I
totally understand that Wesley was shocked that I am more than half-way
through. I am too! I still feel so young in the mission but I am really
quite old.
We
are finally building up our investigator pool. We are teaching a family
which is absolutely amazing! The father is absolutely amazing and
really wants to learn. He can't come to the church often to meet with us
so we call him every night to read scriptures with him. He and his wife
are both fantastic and want to learn. And they have four children. And
he and Elder Brown (senior missionary) are like brothers. Now the only
issue is helping them get to church so they can get baptized. The more
we teach them, the more faith they will have, and the easier it will
be.
Let's see. What else?
Have
I always been directionally challenged? Maybe it just wasn't apparent
because I've lived in the same neighborhood my entire life. I know I got
lost a lot while camping but.... It is sooo apparent as a missionary.
The bright side is that I make my companion laugh multiple times a day
just because I am sooooo directionally challenged. I never have any idea
where I am. I've even missed the right turn to get to the church or our
house a couple of times. Dude. Maybe I'm just always thinking about
other things so I'm not paying attention. Yeah, let's go with that. That
makes me feel better. :)
I don't really know what else to talk about....um...oh!
So
Sister Yim and I think that we are getting closer to a temple because
everywhere in Thailand the Church is facing a lot of opposition. Satan isn't happy
which gives us a lot of motivation to keep on working hard. :)
I'm glad you got the package! :) Yay it actually got there. Whee.
All
in all. Life is good. The food is soooo tasty. The members are great.
Investigators are progressing (finally). Everything is happy. Zone
conference is this Thursday which is fun.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! =D
