Week #79

Dear All,

This was a pretty fun week. I think that the longer it goes on, the more tired I become. This week really showed through a little.

Monday: It started off as a pretty good week. We had a party as a District and made some cake together. It was really really good and very rich. We chilled the rest of the day and then took the trip out to Nong Jig. We taught a couple of sweet lessons.

Tuesday: Turned out to be an alright day. We started it off with teaching a guy off of the invite. Got to sit and teach him for about 10 minutes. He did accept a return appointment which was nice. We taught another investigator, Bubpaa, before going over to English class. The appointments that we had set up for after English fell through so we went and got some good food for dinner. I had some Jaeger Schnitzel mit Spaetzle. It was fantastic.

Wednesday: The day went really well. I think I forgot to mention, but Mahasarakam got 2 more Elders from Bangkok to help. So I now look over 8 missionaries. That is fun. We had a good district meeting on the Book of Mormon. Our appointments all went through in the evening, but we had to set a couple to the side, due to no progression and not keeping commitments. Other than that, a good day.

Thursday: We had a good long planning session for the day. We did teach a lesson in the evening and that was it for the day. We taught Alma 32 to Bubpaa. It turned out really well and fit well with her concern.

Friday: A couple of our appointments fell through in the morning. I was able to interview one of the Sisters investigators for baptism and he passed. He could not really read until he started in the Book of Mormon and he cold turkeyed it for smoking and alcohol in 2 days. Pretty sweet. We taught a couple of lessons in the evening that went well.

Saturday: We spent from 9am to 4pm doing a service project in Nong Jig. It consisted of painting a wall and a building. It was a great project and lots of fun. We did not have any success finding wise and teaching.

Sunday: Turned out to be a great day and the Sisters investigator Sing was baptised. Sing translates to lion. Pretty cool name I would have to say. We had a few investigators at church. We were blessed in the afternoon by being able to teach a couple lessons and get 4 new investigators as well. The Lord gives us so much. We just need to realize it and thank Him so we can get more.

I love you all!
