I swear August just started. Where did it go?
Happy birthday Sam!!
This week has been good. Miracles. Fun stuff.
Lai—the Taiwan guy—is really good. He didn't get baptized yesterday
because he wasn't feeling well (and no time) but he passed his interview
and good to go for this upcoming Sunday. I tried teaching via text but
it was hard, man. haha. So I kept everything really simple and taught it
all Sunday morning. A member named News helped me teach. She can speak
Thai (obviously) and pretty decent English too. So the lesson was a mix
of English, Thai, and Chinese (when we had him pray and read in the
scriptures).
THE OTHER MIRACLE is really
exciting! So do you guys remember Rachhai? He has been an investigator
for about 4 months now (soooo long) because he didn't have the proper
documents to be baptized. BUT he and his son are now going to be
baptized this upcoming Sunday. He is sooo excited because he has waited
so long.
You know, telling you guys
about it, 4 months doesn't seem like too long but you think about how
investigators can usually be baptized within 2-3 weeks, 4 months is a
lifetime.
RCs
are good. Still problems. Our plan is the same: do not get involved and
just strengthen everyone's faith in Christ. No need to worry though—our RCs call us and let us know what the issues are. They trust us and
know that we are safe ground. I remember Mom's guidance in middle and
high school when my friends had issues—don't pick sides and stay in
the middle. Love everyone.
I don't really know what to tell you guys because I don't really know what you want to hear. Life is good?
Cooking has been interesting. Tastey too. My only concern is whether America has all the ingredients we need ...
So
for Monday nights, we have started our own visiting/home teaching kinda
thing. We are splitting the RCs into groups and we are visiting LAs,
RCs, and part-member families. It's going good. We got someone to come
back to church already. It's really fun. It's great for the RCs because
they want to help and get involved. They have strong testimonies and
this will help them grow outside of a lesson setting. We have also given
RCs assignments to watch over other RCs and share spiritual thoughts
with them, get to know them, be friends, etc. Going good.
I'm
glad the house is almost (?) done. So... you said Stu is moving into
the parent's room? What is Stu's room going to become? Is my room the
same?
Congratulations
to Chris for making it past the one-year mark. (He did on September 1) Woo hoo! That's sooo
weird that it has been a whole year already.
What else happened in
September last year? Is Benjamin's birthday coming up? (It's on August 28) All I remember is
that a lot happen September 1st last year but I can't remember what.
haha. :)
Everything is good. My Thai is improving because I have a native as a companion. It's fun.
Life is good.
Oh!
I went on a switch-off last week with a sister named Sister Peck from
Idaho. We found out that she took a class from Uncle Bill (Uncle Bill,
right?) last semester. She said it was one of her favorite classes. Yay
Uncle Bill. :)
So who is the daughter of the friend of Uncle Matt?
I
don't know what else to report on. My frisbee skills are improving
because we play every Saturday? We never ride our bikes here in Bangna?
Yeah.
LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! =D
