This week was awesome! Besides learning Thai all day everyday, some pretty cool things went down this week.
To start, on Wednesday my district and I were assigned to be host this week for the incoming missionaries. We had been here three weeks and were kinda expecting to. Anyways it was a lot of fun to show the rooks around this place especially my bud, Elder Cahoon. A lot of my friends from college came in this week #merrillwanna reunited. Love you boys.
So the weeks here kinda start to feel the same cause a lot of the days we are just doing the same thing. But the cafeteria catered chick-fil-a this week and I cant tell you how nice it was to finally have chick-fil-a again.
There's been major improvements in the language this week. We all decided to start speaking Thai for like hours at a time which was very difficult, tiring, and especially annoying, haha. But the more we speak the better we become. In a lesson this week, we were able to use analogies and share personal experiences for the first time, which was super cool.
My sister is having her baby this week and i couldn't be more thrilled! I'm kinda bummed that I don't get to see my nephew's birth; but I'll see him soon!
One of our classes this week we spent the whole class just teaching and teaching in Thai. We started teaching the plan of salvation in 10 minutes, then 7 minutes, then 4 minutes, and then in a minute!! I love how much I progress here and how I am able to learn so much each day.
This week we had the opportunity to do service for 3 and a half hours. Let me tell you pulling up carpet that has been glued to the floor is not fun! I got some bad blisters and my hands are killing me!
Lastly, I'd like to share a scripture from the book of Mormon that I've heard a lot this week. It's actually my favorite scripture and it states: "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." The more humility I have, the more the Lord blesses my life and helps me understand things such as this tough language!
Sorry this email is kind of boring...my life isn't that exciting. Just wait till I'm in Thailand though!
