Sister น้ำ (nam, means water) being baptized!! Hellloooooo from บางนา (Bangna)!! This was a great week! Highlights include.... Sister น้ำ (nam, means water) being baptized!! She is so awesome. After her baptism she gave a testimony about how she found the church and how she loved how everyone at church is a big family. She is so awesome!! I tried durian this week (for you dad) and it was gross I apparently sleep talk in Thai, according to my companion. Hit 7 months on the mission on Friday! Lots of rain. People in Thailand just stop functioning when it rains....here is an example of this in a phone call from this week... "Hello did you read the Book of Mormon" "No sorry it is raining" What?? But that is Thailand for you. Hope you all have a great week! Love you all! Sister Lahti ซิสเตอร์ลอห์ที I tried durian this week
Hello sorry my email didn't send last week! I don't know what happened there but you should have 2 emails from me this week...lucky you! As for transfers, Sister Ballif will be going to เชียงใหม่ (Chiang Mai, where I served before Bangna) and I will be staying here in บสงนา (Bangna) and Sister Cabangil will be my new companion! She is my น้อง (nong) from the MTC which means she is only 1 transfer behind me. She just finished her training and I am only on my 4th transfer and I am going to be senior companion which means I am supposed to the one who knows how to be a missionary but I feel like I know nothing! It is going to be a really humbling transfer and I am grateful for that because I am going to have the chance to learn to rely on the Lord 100% because I have NO IDEA what I am doing. But I know this is going to be a great transfer because, as Thomas S Monson loved to say, whom the Lord the Lord qualifies. Stay tuned folks!! And PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!! I need your pr...
3. สงกรานต์ Hey so it is pday again, the third one in the last week and a half. The pday schedule for this month is a little crazy - we have pday today because it is Thai new year which we celebrate with a giant water festival!! I currently have two water guns and a bunch of water balloons and my phone is in a plastic bag and a special protective case as I type this. Currently on the BTS, completely soaked and dripping wet, coming back from a day full of people throwing water at each other!! Can't express how fun สงกรานต์ is. Picture this: Bangkok. A really busy city and people everywhere. But now imagine everyone has water guns and buckets full of water and everyone is soaking each other. HUNDREDS of people. And everyone is wearing these super flashy Hawaiian shirts. Thailand is the BEST!! so today was pretty packed which is why I haven't answered a single email or really talked with anyone. It's okay though because next time I email on the 23rd I will get to tell...
