Week 81: Big Changes

So I am officially in Bangkok (not in Roi Et anymore) and things are just not the same. However, I got some good news! Brother ปิง (ping) got baptized on December 22nd!! I'm so happy for him and for the choice he made to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ :)

Wow this was such a crazy week I don't even know where to begin. To be completely honest, I am writing this email a week late because I didn't really get a p-day last week. But no worries cause I will write 2 emails this week.

To start off, we had transfer day on Thursday and it turned out that most of the mission was transferring. We had a transfer meeting and President asked me to lead the meeting, so right off the bat I had to do things I wasn't used to. Then we had trainers meetings and Mission Leadership conference and I had to pretty much wing all of it. However, I have learned a lot about following the spirit and being confident in myself way more.



My new companion is Elder Sumsion and he is the man. I think I mentioned him in an email a while back, but basically he is by far the best Thai speaking missionary. My first day in the area all the members were telling me how he talks like a Thai person. And he is way chill too so I think this will be a really great transfer and I know I will learn a lot as well!

Overall the first couple of days were a little crazy and way busy I cant even explain it. But I'm learning a lot and having fun too! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!



Love,
Elder Lowe

Dear Brother and Sister Lowe,

It is a pleasure to advise you that the Lord has called your son, Elder Robert Thomas Lowe, to serve as an Assistant to the President of the Thailand Bangkok Mission. As my Assistant he will have administrative responsibilities which will require him to travel throughout the mission assisting other missionaries in their proselyting techniques and skills and helping them fulfill their missionary purpose to help others come unto Christ. He will offer them encouragement and help wherever needed in their missionary labors.  Elder  Lowe will be an example of dedication, obedience and love that will be recognized throughout the mission.

I look forward to working closely with Elder  Lowe on a daily basis.  He will be a trusted leader in this mission. Thank you for all you have done to prepare him for this  responsibility in the Lord's service.

Sister Hammond and I thank you for your son and for your continued prayers in his behalf.
