Hey all

Hello!

So it was a pretty normal week around here. As normal as it gets being a missionary I guess.

Monday: Well, a pretty normal P-Day around here. An excellent time to take a nap. By the end of the day, I am way tired. Sleep comes so quickly every night. We were able to teach a couple of lessons. But that is all.

Tuesday: A good day. Really long. We didn't find any new potentials and we only taught one lesson. English was great again. As usual. My students are so much fun. A lot of little kids, but they are all pretty good at English.

Wednesday: It was a pretty good day around here. Actually everyday is. We had our usual Wednesday District meeting. It was really cool. We took a look in the New Testament about how Jesus taught and how we can improve on teaching. We taught 3 lessons and got 2 new investigators out of it. And found a few more potentials. Wow, I am really not writing a lot for these days.

Thursday: We had our usual long planning for the nest week in the morning. We did a lot of street contacting and we taught 2 lessons in the evening. Got some new investigators too. One guy we taught, his son like a week ago drowned and left behind a daughter and a wife. It was pretty sad. We had a good opportunity to talk about the Plan of Salvation. Then on our way home. Elder Peacock got bit by a dog. Go figure. Didn't draw any blood, but had to get shots any ways. It was a weird experience. 3 dogs jumped out of the back of a truck and started chasing him. It was him in front, then the dogs, and then me. I saw the whole thing and Elder Peacock didn't realize that they were after him until he had gotten bit. Oh well.

Friday: We went to Udon all day. We had a 3 hour training with the Zone leaders and with President Smith. It was way cool and we learned better ways for teaching a first lesson and we got to practice as well. Then another 3 hour bus ride home. We got back in time to teach 2 planned appointments. They both went well. All in all a good day. When we were in Udon I got to get some McDonald's. We don't have any up were I am.

Saturday: An okay day, we had a few lessons planned and all of them got dropped except for one. And that lesson was not even that good. We really needed a member present to help us teach them. Next time for sure.

Sunday: A relatively better day. It was a usual fast Sunday. It was a pretty good 3 hour block. We taught our best investigator and her daughter after church and then later in the day had another lesson with a new family. They were both good lessons. Other than those, nothing else really.

Well, All in all, I am having a great time out here in Thailand!

Until next week!
