This was a way quick week here in Thailand! Also happy General conference weekend. Although I haven't yet watched it, I have heard some of the policy changes and also some very powerful messages from my family. I'm super excited to watch General Conference to be enlightened, inspired, and to grow spiritually. I know this church is true and that we are led by true and living prophets of the Lord in these days.
This last week was transfers. However, I did not go to Bangkok to pick up my companion. Instead, I went on a switch off with a very young missionary, Elder Hollowell, in Mahasarakam. He taught me a method of transportation that gets me to appointments way faster and way less tiring. I have brought it back to my area and it's been working out way well. I'll attach a video - basically we just grab on to the back of a truck. But don't worry it is very safe! Anyways we had a very good day and got to teach a couple people that are interested in that area.
By Friday I got my new companion and his name is Elder Despain! He is way chill and I know that we are going to get along very well. I'm already learning things from him and I'm excited to see what this transfer has in store for us!
Elder Tu (a former companion of mine who also lives in the same house as me) is training right now. Elder Tu is hilarious and I love seeing the way he is training this brand new missionary. I don't think this new missionary is ever going to forget us first transfer on his mission...ever.
Also sister Nielsen is back in my district. She brought me a jacket from Chiang Mai and it's way cool. I'll have to send a picture of me wearing it some day.
Tui (ตุ้ย) is still doing good. We went over to his house and continued to read the Book of Mormon with him. I know that consistent reading in the Book of Mormon is the greatest way to strengthen your testimony.
On Sunday, I got to go out with a personal friend of mine, elder Khanakam. I have served with him before in Don Muang, so it was a wonderful opportunity to work with him again and to visit a bunch of different families. I love his spirit and he has developed a Character of Christ within himself. When you are near him you can feel his love and warmth. I want to emulate Chrsit's Character more and more each day so people can recognize me as His servant!
Like I said it was a shorter week, so that's about it. I love you guys. Have an awesome week!
Love,
Elder Lowe
