Hey hey there Dad!
I'm sorry, this won't be a very detailed email. We have to
get back to our area really soon. If I have more time, I'll send a follow up
one, but this will have to suffice for now.
So the Lord has been greatly blessing us here in Nong Khai.
So many people who are ready. we might not get to all the standards of
excellence every week, but we try, and the Lord has blessed us with many people
to work with! Definitely, the Lord is working miracles here. I know that
through our faith and diligence, the Lord has continually blessed us. I hope to
talk more about this later next Monday, but that's how it goes!
This last week, Elder Evans came and totally changed
everything for us. This mission has had a culture of "bounce
contacting" which is just bouncing from person to person trying to find
one who is really interested, which works in some ways, but Elder Evans
basically said that that is not how Preach My Gospel says for us to do it. I'm
glad though. I feel like we can really show to people that we're servants of
the Lord rather than just machines asking if people want their sins to be
washed away (which I don't do by the way! Nor have I ever done) or asking if
people want to learn about Christ.
Today we helped an investigator in the morning and then went
to a museum with the district in Udorn. Again, more on that next week. Don't
have very much time at all!
I'll expand more on this next week, as well as pictures the
exploring we did this week! Love you lots! Tell everyone, especially Mom and
Kaleb and Kai, that I miss them and stay safe with the snow! Make sure we warm
up before playing sports/practicing triple jump, ok mai? I love you all! Talk
to you next week!
