Week #50

Hey everyone!

Well, we had an okay week this week. We have been getting a lot of help from the members in teaching. It has been going really well here in Sisaket.

Monday: Just a normal Monday around these parts. Elder Grover is a great companion. Oh and this last week, actually on the 2nd, we had to go to the hospital. Go figure, another one of my companions has gotten an ingrown toenail. So that was fun to go to the hospital everyday for like 5 days to get his dressings changed. Other than that is was an alright day. We weren't able to teach any lessons. I feel like I haven't gone out finding for a couple weeks. The last 2 weeks of last transfers, we were just teaching lots of lessons with members, so not a lot of time to find. I can tell that my skills have gone down.

Tuesday: It was another alright day. We taught 2 lessons. One was with a single guy. We are not really sure why he keeps coming back. He has o problems with life. We are just not sure what his concern is. We will keep teaching him and try and find out. We also taught another lesson to Gae. She is quite the interesting person. She asks lots of questions and is in the process of trying to get everything straight. She studied philosophy in college, so she is used to questioning religion. Although she does know that it is all true. Just trying to help her keep that in mind. They are very fun lessons.

Wednesday: Turned out to be a good day. We had a district meeting by Elder Peacock. That was weird considering I was his companion like 6 months ago. Wow, I just realized how long ago that was. Then we taught a couple lessons. They turned out really good. One woman is getting ready to be baptised on the 16th. She is doing great.

Thursday: An okay day. We did our weekly planning and taught one lesson. Taught Gae again. She is really close to getting a baptismal date. It has been really fun teaching her. Other than that, not much of a day.

Friday: Turned out to be a much better day. We got several lessons with members. They were all really good lessons. Umm, not much else to say.

Saturday: Yeah! 6 hours of General Conference in Thai! Ugh. That was hard to stay awake for. It was really good and we had several investigators attend. We taught Gae again and now she has a baptismal date!! For the 7th of May. It was hard, but she agreed to the date. Then our investigator Deem was interviewed and she passed! Now we have a baptism again for this week on the 16th.

Sunday: Another okay day. General Conference was good and lots of people attended. We taught a few lessons after it was all done. It was a good day overall. I made dinner for me and Elder Grover. I guess it turned out all right. It was rice with a Thai omelet. It was good :)

That's all folks!

Love,
Elder Ackerman
