Well, this week has certainly been eventful! I think. I'm
trying to keep better track of what's happening, but honestly, from week to
week it's pretty smashed together. Every minute of existence is just one long
day run together with a nap in between every so often, after praying for half
an hour. No sleep, just naps, hahaha.
So exciting events for this week:
Monday we bought stuff from China Town. Fabric and stuff...
The ties and such will be expensive this time around... 😅
Tuesday was District Council (no longer called District
Meeting FYI). We learned more about how to help find the elect and find those
who are ready. And English. We taught about something I can't remember.
Probably shopping. As so met a cool new investigator close to our house. We're
going to work hard to help him overcome his WoW problems. He's way nice
though.
Wednesday was a full day. We had switch offs that day. I was
with Elder Ratelle. He is way fun to be around. It was a pretty fun day, saw a
lot of investigators and had dinner with our RC and taught her mom as well. Her
mom is progressing slowly, but still unwilling to pray with us. We'll keep
trying!
Thursday we had weekly planning, probably a lot of planning.
Overall, when you're training, those days go by kind of slow and there's lots
of sitting. But it's all necessary and all good. Had scripture class and our
Chinese member was with us and gave us the funniest big eyes look ever... He
also can't read Thai so that's fun. His phone also broke and wouldn't stop
vibrating so that's fun.
Friday we then kicked out cats from our house... So there's
this really annoying thing that would happen everyday where this fairly large
cat would sprint out of the front gate everytime we were leaving for several
days on end. So we decided to investigate. Found two little cats hiding behind
some wooden boards propped up against our house. We decided that this situation
probably wasn't in line with mission standards, so we moved the boards, grabbed
the cats and kicked them out. Sorry. I also learned that you can grab cats by
the scruff of the neck and they kind of get paralyzed as you lift them up. My
goal is now to get every cat in the neighborhood by the scruff of the neck...
Hahaha
Otherwise we had dinner with the Elders Quorum President
who was a missionary in Thailand 35+ or so years ago. He's from Thailand, but
had three sons, all of whom served missions. One in Japan too! He's way funny
and his wife was also a missionary at the same time as President Hammond here
in Thailand so they kind of know each other.
Saturday was fun. Don't really remember much of what's
happening.
Sunday was church. Good, but need more people going! We had
at least 4 committed but only 1 came... It's ok we'll work through it. We had
to be hard on one of our investigators because she wouldn't pray in front of
us, even through she promised and gave her word that she would. But she eventually
did it and now is starting to progress a lot faster!
Then the rest of this week was a blur. That's all I have.
One thing I learned though is...
We as missionaries need to open our mouths, and remember
that the field is white, ready to harvest! Not brown ready to plant or green
ready to water. We need to fear not, and we will have the Spirit, the words we
need to say. D&C tells us this the entire time. Just do it! Trust in the
Lord of the Harvest.
Anyways thank you! Love you lots and talk to you soon!
