Well, another sweet week has gone by...



Hey All!

Wow, the time can really fly by around here. Me and Elder Leyva have been having an awesome time.

Monday: A normal P-Day around here. We spent a lot of the time cleaning the house and throwing old stuff away. That was fun. Then we went out to do our normal proselyting. Pretty much we did not find anyone interested in learning more. Oh, well. There are days that are like that.

Tuesday: Went out to work in the morning and perhaps it was the most unsuccessful day of my mission. Only found one person the whole day who was maybe interested in learning more. Then we had our usual English class. It was fun. We only have like 10 students, but it is okay. Then we had to get on a bus to go to our neighbouring city, Surin, for our weekly District meeting.

Wednesday: Yeah, District Meeting. We had the Zone Leaders attend and they gave the lesson. It was really good. Then we had one of our zone leaders come with me and Elder Leyva and we returned to Buriram. We taught 2 lessons off of talking to some people right on the street and got a new investigator from it. It was a way sweet day and some good training from a zone leader.

Thursday: Another awesome day. Elder Fowles, one of our zone leaders, was still with us. We taught 3 lessons. And all of them turned into new investigators. Our best lesson of the day was our last one. We had taught a lesson to him the other day, and he came to meet us at our church for a lesson. He is already Christian and has a way strong testimony of Jesus Christ. We watched Finding Faith in Christ and found out later that he read the Book of Mormon in one night!! Pretty crazy. He really liked the movie and we had a good rest of the lesson. The other zone leader and the Elders in Surin joined us that night in our house.

Friday: A little bit of a slower day. We were still able to teach 2 lessons. But did not find anyone new to start teaching later. We did teach our investigators that have a baptismal date. It was an excellent lesson. It is amazing how the Lord can work through 2 inexperienced missionaries. It is amazing.

Saturday: Another good day for us here. We got 2 more lessons during the day and taught a recent convert. We did not find anyone new, but teaching lessons feels pretty awesome. We taught that guy that read the Book of Mormon in one day. We taught him about Joseph Smith and the restoration. That was a pretty crazy lesson. We invited him to church on Sunday, but he said he was going to go to his normal church. Which happens to be 50km from the city. Oh well.

Sunday: A normal Sunday. We had 2 investigators at church! That was way cool! The members were way excited. Then I got called to bless the Sacrament. Well, it went good I suppose...they didn't ask me to do it again haha. Then we had to teach the Gospel Principles class on temple work and family history. That was hard...but we got through it all okay. Then we went out to work. Taught a couple lessons and found 5 new potentials. It was a good day.

That is all for this week!
