09-05-2017 Nong Khai Thailand Transfers Elder V







Hey Dad!



Sorry, no title line this time.



So this week is the week of transfers! And so the whole story this time around is... no one is moving from this district. Except one Elder who got sent to Lao. But the two sisters in the district are now training! And the replacement for the now Lao Elder is a greenie. So, we'll have 4 greenies in this district for this transfer! One of them is on his second transfer here, and the others just got here!



Nothing much really happened this week... Last P-Day I actually did get to take a nap, for once, so that was fun! But on Tuesday, after District Meeting, we met with our investigator with a baptismal date, in of which she told us that she would be moving... and she doesn't know where! That was really sad for her and us, but we told her to pray to move close to the church, and that we would pray as well! So no baptism... but we'll keep working hard with the people that we do have!



Outside of that, just working hard and proselyting! Went inviting and visiting members. Members honestly do help a lot! We're hoping to be able to have them help us more, but we'll see about that! 



No plans for today, just relaxing, and lunch with one of my companion's RCs. Should be fun!



Had a cool thunderstorm yesterday, where we saw a bolt of lightning come down from the sky about 200 meters away, so the sound only took about half a second to get to me... and it was loud, and scary. But a lot of fun! We happened to be outside, and thunder like that sounds like a falling tree, which then results in an earthquake... so it was lots of fun!



Oh, and I also went on a switch-off last week, where I was with the DL's companion, Elder Truman, who is great! He has great fire, and great desires. It was the first time actually being someone who is younger than me in the mission so... that was a first! I realized very quickly that I was expected to understand our investigators, almost all of it, so that was fun! We managed to find 2 new investigators for that area, so I hope that they'll progress well!



That's it for me this week! Love you lots, and hope to talk to you soon!
