(อยุธยา:​ภาค​ ๓)

Hey there Dad! 

อาทิตย์​นี้ยุ่งมากๆๆๆ!​ มีเยอะแยะ​ที่เราทำใน​อาทิตย์​ที่ผ่านมา.​

P-Day​ ก็สนุก.เรามีกิจกรรม​เล่น​กีฬา​สำหรับโซนกรุงเทพฯ​เหนือ.​ผมเห็นหลายคนที่นั่นที่เป็นผู้สอนศาสนา, ซึ่งรวมถึง​ Elder​ Allen, ที่อยู่ในกลุ่ม​เดียว​กัน​กับผมเอง, และ​ Elder​Mickelson, ที่อยู่กุมภา​วปีใน​ District อุดร​ฯ, และเขาอยู่ในเขต​เก่าของผม.เราเล่นกีฬาอย่างเช่น​:

Basketball

Frisbee

Chairball

ตะกร้อ​

It was way fun! I was glad we went. The sports activity was even in my old area too, so it was way fun! 

Went to ลพบุรี​ for District Meeting, which is about a 1.5 hour drive from อยุธยา. Saw some monkeys on the way in. Just as scary as before (don't pet the monkeys!). That was fun.

Then on Wednesday was regular proselyting. Still a little difficult to find new investigators, but there's no worries on that one. The Lord will give us what we need as we work as hard as we can. 

Thursday was this crazy day where we went to a school early in the morning, and (with President's permission) we taught and English camp there. So, suffice to say, we handed about 700 English cards over there and taught just about the same. The Sisters got an investigator from that activity which was way sweet! But it was crazy. We tried to plan so hard... And then it all went astray... Hahaha. But that's ok, it was still fun! We taught 6-12 graders. Way crazy. In the end we just made up activities to do on the spot... But hey free breakfast lunch and dinner! So I say it was worth it, hahaha.  

After that had switch-offs on Friday, went up to Lopburi again. Was fun! We worked, but that's about it! 

The rest of the week followed, but its going good right now! It's still hard work, and it's definitely not easy, but I'm  happy when we're working hard. 

Something I liked this past week was something I learned from personal study. I was was reading the account of the older brother of Jared and his family, and how the Lord provided light for the boats/submarines that they were taking to go to the promised land. But then performing this miracle with the light, I appreciated how the Lord asked the Brother of Jared how He (the Lord) should light the ship for the Brother of Jared. Sometimes, there are lots of ways to do the Lord's work and will. But he expects us to use our own faculties, our own will and intelligence to work out a solution, and then bring it before the Lord. I know that we all have a goal to one day become like Him, and so He will provide us with experiences to develop those perfect attributes of Jesus Christ. I know He is a perfect being, and so is our Heavenly Father. As we follow them, we will have everything that we need. 

I love you lots! Hope you have a fantastic week! Talk to you soon!
