Week 56: Teaching at a University

Wow so this week was not like a normal week because we got to teach at this University. We taught college students and it was a little sad that none of them could speak very good English! Anyways it was very fun but very long. It was an all day thing so I have a new and deeper understanding and respect for teachers. 

Other than that we have continued to teach Brother Q and prepare him for baptism! His testimony has continued to grow each and every week and it's been so cool to see the changes and sacrifices he's made to be baptized. We gave him a practice interview this last week and his actual baptismal interview will be on Tuesday! 

This week we started teaching sister See the review lessons after baptism and she new everything. She actually started recounting things that we never taught her but are true. She somehow already knows about how fast Joseph Smith translated the plates, and she knew about general conference and all these other things. Honestly  my comp and me were so touched by seeing sister See's faith and desire to change her life; it brought us so much joy and helped us to get along better! She also got the gift of the Holy Ghost this last Sunday!! 

A big problem in Thailand is that the men at around age 19 and 20 have to become Monks for some period of time (บวชพระ). So many people that we teach are 20 year old guys and they all have this problem. We are teaching this guy ฟลุค (Fluke) who really loves English and at first he would just come to the church for English class. However, he has started to learn and wants to be baptized. He even  asked his mom if he could be baptized, however like usual she said no...not until after he becomes a monk. We are praying for him that he can somehow be baptized and skip becoming a monk phase in his life. He is honestly such a good kid. 

well that's about it for this week!! 

Love,
