(Sorry, I'm late in posting) Happy New Year!

Hey all,

Wow, does the time go by really quickly. It is the new year. 2011. Crazy I have to say. And my birthday is this next Saturday. Wow...

Monday: Well, a pretty normal Monday I guess you could say. We got a lot of stuff done actually for only working 3 hours out of the day. We taught 4 lessons. Turned out to be the best day of the week.

Tuesday: Went to Surin in the morning for the weekly District Meeting with Elder Campbell. It was really good as usual. Elder Campbell is a great missionary leader. Unfortunately we only got one lesson in for the day, but that was because we had travel time included and we had to teach English as well.

Wednesday: A much better day. We got 2 lessons done. One was with a 19yr old girl who making great friends with the members. She's from Surin and doesn't know Buriram. I have a feeling she is very happy to have friends in Buriram that will be a very good influence in her life. She is reading and continuing to pray about the Book of Mormon.

Thursday: Turned out to be a good day. Taught a new family that are turning out to be pretty good. Slowly reading and willing to meet with us again. Taught the family that is supposed to be baptised on the 8th of January. They are going to interview on Saturday and on Monday.

Friday: Only one lesson for the day. Actually turned out that we had to be home at around 630 pm so we weren't out after dark. We just did our morning study at that time. It was a very loud night. Everyone and their dog had fireworks. The really good kind. Lots of mortars and fireworks going off. And lots of loud music. Thankfully at midnight it got quiet and I could sleep.

Saturday: A good day for us. Elder Mondragon and Elder Campbell went out teaching while Elder Chapman and I went out to visit investigators and teach some planned appointments. Turned out okay for the day. Deang interviewed with Elder Campbell and didn't pass. She will need to wait a couple of weeks and retest. Yaw (her cousin) will interview on Monday. We are hoping he passes. If anything, we will have a baptism on the 8th for Deang's son Own.

Sunday: Well I am in Surin. Pretty weird to be in a different area for a Sunday. Oh well. The members didn't know what to do with me. Taught a couple unplanned lesons while out inviting. A relatively good day.

Well, that is all I have for this week!

Happy New Year!
