Week #53

Dear Everyone,

Well, it has been a pretty fun week here in Sisaket. I will get started on what has happened so far.

Monday: Started out as a normal P-Day. And it ended normal too. We taught some cool lessons at the end of the day. One was to a friend of a return missionary, and she accepted a baptismal date for the 28th of May. It has been pretty exciting to be getting these friends of members who want to be baptised. Plus the English class has been getting us alot of investigators as well.

Tuesday: A good day as well. We taught a couple lessons in the morning. They all turned out well and English went well as well. I also learned how to make my favorite Thai dish from a member. They even said that it turned out well. I am excited to try it out more! I also need to take a picture of it as well. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Wendesday: Another good overall day. We had time to go finding as well as time to teach several lessons. We also started teaching the daughter of a recent convert as well. I am sorry. This week does not have much exciting going on.

Thursday: It turned out to be one of those days full of teaching. We taught 5 lessons through out the day,as well as having to do weekly planning. The Lord sure makes up for not having much time. We taught a less active woman, who really wants to get back to church, just doesn't have a way to go. A member who came with us offered to pick her up, which is the first member to offer since we began seeing her 2 months ago. I was so thankful for that member.

Friday: So, I found out on Wednesday that I would be going to Buriram for 3 days! So in the morning, Elder Cotrell and I traveled to Surin to pick up Elder Chapman and then head on to Buriram. Elder Chapman has a Thai companion who went to the Philipines for the MTC experience. It was so cool to be back, if only for a little while. I love Buriram. We were in a threesome the whole time. It was way fun.Taught a few lessons. Plus an investigator Elder Chapman and I found is being baptised on the 1st. So I get to be there for that.

Saturday: Another day full of fun. We went inviting all day and taught 4 lessons and got a new investigator for them as well. It was fun.

Sunday: This was a cool day. So first off, all the members are way shocked to see me. That was fun. Then the water supply for Buriram shut down. So that meant no water for the font. Then Elder Chapman went with the Branch President and went and got a fire truck to come and fill up the font. That was cool! The baptism was a success. So then we all got on a bus after getting home and packing up to go back to Surin and on to Sisaket. What an excellent weekend.

So that is all for this week. I love you all!
