Week 39: Transferred to Bangkok

Hey not much for this week! Transfer calls just came and President said that I will be training a new missionary. I am leaving Phuket which means I will be whitewashing a new area in Don Muang. I'm so excited for this experience! Its gonna be way fun! 

In terms of Phuket, the area is doing so good. I remember starting that area with very few investigators and now leaving it we have over 20 with 5 daters. I'm so grateful for my time in Phuket and all the members and people I met there. I love them so much! Sorry I don't have much time this week, but I'll let you know how everything goes next week!

Love, 

Elder Lowe

After your favorite verse ... a few verses later Ammon continues... Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.

I believe in your success through your love, patience, long suffering and acts of kindness/service.  Keep up all your great work! 

I’m sooo proud of you!! 
Love ️, Mom

Have a great day,

Shelby County Meet

Marissa's cross country team ran in the Shelby County meet on Saturday, September 3 - the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.  The temperature was extremely hot.

The Varsity girls ran at 9:00 am with a temperature of 99 degrees F.  There were two girls that didn't finish the race and one of those girls (the one from Male) had to be taken away in an ambulance.

Marissa was running in the JV race at 10:30 am.  By that time it was 103 degrees F.  I personally believe they should have called the race but they didn't.  I emailed Mark at 10:00 and asked him to cover Marissa's head with ice water - cool her down before she runs so that keeps her temperature down as she exhorts exercise.  It worked!

Marissa ran a 5K in that heat and did FANTASTIC!  She was the lead runner at the beginning of the race and maintained her position in the top 5 for the entire race.  As a matter of fact she was in 3rd place the whole race until the last few seconds before the finish.  She finished in 4th place with a PR of 23:20.  AMAZING!

After the race was over Marissa needed water, but the girl that finished just before her passed out after crossing the finish line.  There were four girls that didn't finish the JV race, and several that needed ice baths or to be treated by EMT.  It was a very dangerous race because of the heat!.

We are so proud of you Marissa - you took the right pro-cautions and ran a fantastic race!
