To start, Monday and Tuesday were literally all day meetings with President Hammond. On Monday we talked with President for like 8 hours about the new English Program implemented throughout Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, Tuesday was even a crazier day than that. We had our Transfer Board meeting from 8am-8:45pm which was so long, you have no idea!! But, it is one day where we can really feel the spirit and receive revelation!
That night Elder Sumsion and I picked up the brand new missionaries at the Airport and brought them back to the office. It brought me back to my first day in Thailand when I got off the plane and saw the Assistants hahah.
The next day we trained the new missionaries and we took them out to invite with us. Again, it brought me back to my first couple of days when I didn't understand anything, couldn't speak the language, and was just so stressed. It's cool to see my progression over this last year and a half. Trusting in the Lord was the key for my whole mission and it still is.
On Thursday, I got my new companion, Elder Robinson, and we had a couple of meetings. It's weird to be the leading companion as the Assistant because there is a little more responsibility. I'm excited for this transfer as I will surely be humbled many times! Friday morning at around 5am I got to drive the dying missionaries to the airport. What's crazy about this group is that 3 of them were my companion!! I love those Elders so much and I'm grateful for their dedicated service!!
But Friday, Saturday, and Sunday me and Elder Robinson got to work. In three days we found 19 new people and we have taught probably an average of 8 lessons a day!! I'm so excited to just give it my all this transfer. Me and Elder Robinson have already been companions, so we already have some chemistry and we know how to work with each other.
Funny Story:
This is more of a miracle than a funny story, but here it goes. We were walking back home one day and we see this one guy watering plants. I start talking to this one guy, so Elder Robinson starts talking to the guy watering the plants. He got an appointment with him for Sunday and so on Sunday we visited him. It just so happens that he lives with a ton of people. I mean like 13 other people!!! They all came into the front room and sat down and waited for us to teach them about Jesus Christ! It was insane!!! I truly believe that the Lord blesses his servants with people to teach when they are diligent and have a desire to do the Lord's work! I love being a missionary!
These last 4 months I am promising to the Lord that I will not slow down, but be more diligent than ever!
Love,
Elder Lowe
