Week 46: Transfers and Songkron


So like I said last week, Thailand has this crazy festival called Songkran which is basically a giant water fight! On Monday we got to go to Asoke and I saw a bunch of other missionaries including my trainer...who is now the AP!! Can’t wait till the next Songkran. 

This week was a little strange with Songkran and transfers. We had our switch off on Wednesday, the last day of the transfer. I switched off with Elder English who is soooooooo fire!!!!!! We live with the zone leaders so it was cool to see how they work outside the house. I learned a lot from him. He has a lot of fun while doing the Lord's work, but works very hard and talks with so many people! 

This week we also got 2 more people on a baptismal date for this transfer. One of the people we were teaching saw that we would teach from this book(the Book of Mormon) and wanted it so bad but was too scared to ask for it. We felt that we needed to give it to her and once we did she thanked us so much! She loves reading it and I can already see a change in her appearance and perspective in life. 

Lastly we began teaching this new lady this week named Ratchani and she is a lady with all the questions. Our lessons last for over 1 hour and she asks about 30 or so questions. She has such a desire to know everything before she is baptized! I love it!!!

Lastly I want to say how grateful I am for the Easter holiday and for the special time to think of our Savior's Atonement and Resurrection. I know that Jesus Christ lives! He atoned for each of our sins in his mortal life and rose 3 days after his physical death. Jesus Christ is with us. พระเยซูคริสต์ทรงอยู่กับเรา - Jesus Christ is with us. He is our Savior and Redeemer and fulfilled the will of His father. I love Jesus Christ and I'm so grateful that through him I can be with my family forever! If anyone has any questions about anything I just said please ask me or missionaries in the US! 

I love you all so much and feel so loved my you all and by my savior each day!!

Things that happened this week:
-I ate straight wasabi
- a crazy member taught with us
- One member invited us over for Easter dinner and we got some pasta!!

Love
