Dear Everyone,
So this was a pretty eventful week.
Monday: So yeah, Monday was lots of fun. Planting rice was a blast. Very muddy too. We then went back to that neighborhood in the evening to get some teaching appointments done. They went well and we got permission for another teenager to get baptised. The next step is to work on the parents.
Tuesday: Turned out to be a relatively good day. We found a new family that actually lives in Chonburi where there is not a branch currently. Dang it. Oh well, perhaps in the future. Taught two other lessons and had a successful English class.
Wednesday: We had a good district meeting. Lots of good discussion and a little role playing. We taught 3 lessons for the day. One was with our family that is soon to be baptised. They other were out at the usual Mon,Wed,Fri, neighborhood. A good day.
Thursday: We had a training meeting here in Roi-Et given by President Smith. It was really good. It combined 2 zones and all the leaders from them. Got to see a few friends from other zones. Taught a few lessons in the evening during an exchange with Elder Pimsuwan, the Khon Khean zone leader. That was fun.
Friday: Had another good day with Elder Pimsuwan. We taught several lessons and he took me to some houses that had former investigators. That was good. Hoped to get some new investigators at the end of the week.
Saturday: Elder Pimsuwan interviewed the family we have been working with and they all passed. But we are going to wait a few more weeks. Then it consisted of travel all day to go to Khon Khean and pickup Elder Buckner and go back.
Sunday; 12! Yes, 12 people at church for me and Elder Buckner. That was a record for sure on my mission. It was a good day. Taught a couple lessons. Went to dinner at a members house. Very good food.
That is all for this week.

Week #64
Dear All to whom it may concern,
So this was a pretty fun week. I guess I will just have to tell you more about it.
Monday: So it was actually a pretty bad P-day as P-days go. When we went to the music store, they were out of ukuleles. And then I got bit my the owners Chihuahua (maybe that's how you spell it?). Oh well that was pretty terrible. Had to spend sometime a the hospital and get some shots. Ugh. We then went out to the normal place for Monday night and taught a couple lessons.
Tuesday: Turned to be a better day. We taught a few more lessons that all turned out well. Taught the normal English class. Being companions is way fun with Elder Buckner.
Wednesday: The only lessons we taught were in the evening. They turned out well. This week has been a little slower on the teaching lessons side. This is when I bought the ukulele. I know not on a P-day. They are kind of going through a trend right now, so they are hard to find and sell out quickly. Other than that a good day.
Thursday: Another good day. We got our weekly planning done and then went out to teach a few lessons. They turned out great and at this point we still haven't found any new investigators...
Friday: Taught 2 sweet lessons. We got 2 more people with baptismal goals, bringing our number up to 6 as a companionship. It is going great here in Roi-Et.
Saturday: The weekend was way slow teaching wise. We tried to help serve our family that should be baptised in a week or so, but that kind of flopped. Oh well. We hard a good coordination meeting with the branch mission leader.
Sunday: Well, 8 people at church! That was a sweet thing to see. Our investigators are doing really well. We just need to find new people. We did find a new guy to start teaching thankfully. Had a really good dinner at a members house as well.
Well that is all for this week!!
Love,
Elder Ackerman

Week #63
Good Afternoon to those who are perhaps on my side of the world,
So this has been a pretty good week. I am still so surprised by how fast the time goes by as we work hard.
Monday: Turned out to be a very relaxed Preparation day for us. We got done with everything we needed to do for the day at around 100pm, so we just stayed at the house and chilled for a good few hours. That was way nice. We then went out to Nong Jig, which is were we go every night 3 times a week. We do have a member take us out and that is great because they can then help us teach. We have some good investigators out there right now.
Tuesday: We had a pretty good day. Taught a few lessons with some help from members. Our main family that we are really focusing on is Sueb and Oi. They are doing really great and accepted a baptismal date for the 30th of July. They have been accepting everything with no problem and they also see the improvement in their lives as well. We taught English again. Every week. That is always fun.
Wednesday: Best day of the week. We taught out at Nong Jig. That seems to be where we get the most of our lessons we to week. Umm, there was not much else eventful. Having Sisters in the District is great. They made chocolate no bakes with peanut butter for district meeting. That was pretty awesome.
Thursday: Elder Buckner and I did our weekly planning and then got on a bus to go to Mahasarakam. I was going to stay the night there to spend the rest of Thursday and half of Friday there for and exchange. It went really well and we did a lot of teaching. We also had some good scripture discussions.
Friday: Spent some of the morning inviting before getting on a bus to head back to Roi Et. We then had a good rest of the evening in Nong Jig, yet again. It is always so much fun to go out there. taught only 2 lessons unlike the usual 3 or 4. Oh well.
Saturday: An even slower day on our part. We taught only one lesson, but that was after a lot of business we had to take care of. Oh well. It was still a good day.
Sunday: Wow, we had 8 investigators attend church. That was awesome. We even had someone from Nong Jig bring a friend. That was sweet. There was also a member baptism after church. Then Elder Buckner and I presented a lesson in a Teacher Improvement Fireside using "Teaching, No greater call". I highly suggest reading that book for all you teachers out there! Had a good rest of the day.
That is all for this week folks!
