1-9-18 Nong Khai Thailand Transfers to Ayuthaya










เฮ้เฮเฮ่!



วันนี้เป็นวัน​"พีเด" หรือวันเตรียม.แน่นอนทุกคนก็รู้แล้วนะ. แต่ว่าผมต้องเตรียมจริงๆเพราะว่าผมจะย้ายไปจากหนองคาย😢.เหมือนกับทุกที่ที่ผมรับใช้ผมจะคิดถึงหนองคายมาก, และอุดรฯด้วย.ผมจะคิดถึงอีสานอน่นอน.​สมาชิกอยู่ที่นี่เป็นคนยอดเยี่ยมจริงๆ.ผมได้รับพรโดยการรับใช้ที่นี่.ผมกตัญญูที่ผมรับใช้ที่นี่.ผมรักหนองคายมาก.



So​ I wish you all luck in translating that all. But I have learned a lot here and I feel that I have grown a lot since I've come here. I'm truly grateful to have served in Nong Khai. I hope Nong Khai continues to grow and flourish in the time to come. 



So all that I wrote means that...​I'll be moving! Honestly the feelings are a little more bitter than sweet. I would have gone for 5, just another round, if I could. But the Lord has called me elsewhere, and so I must go, back to the old capital of Thailand...



Not​ Bangkok! But close to it, and I really do mean the old capital though. I'm moving to พระนครศรีอยุธยา! Or, just อยุธยา​ for short!​ (Ayutthaya) So the good news I have is that I'll have a bike! No bad news except that I'm moving... But that's all good as well!



As far as this goes, moving is a hard subject, especially for those missionaries who love the people and the areas they serve in. But at least we know that Charity never faileth. If you love the people you serve, you're on the right track. Charity will help you to receive miracles in the mission field and throughout life. Never forget to be charitable.



On another topic: Make sure you read the

Book of Mormon everyday! It was President Monson final challenge before he went to go to help souls beyond the veil. I testify, as he did, that the value and worth of a human soul is its capacity to become as God. The Book of Mormon promises us that as we read and abide by its precepts, we will become closer to God more than any other book can help us do. I know that as we do, we will be guided and we will have happiness, no matter what trials we go through.



I know the Lord provides a way. He always does, and will forever onward. I love Thailand, and I love these people. I more than grateful for this experience. I'm eternally indebted. 



I love you all! I'll talk to you soon!
