Week 17: I don't know how to title this but I attached pictures so take a gander

-

















1. Sister Ballif and I are pretty much the same person...love her!!

Another great week in Thailand!! Here are some things that happened this week...

-Everyone at English class either asked if I was related to Taylor Swift because apparently I look like her. 

-lots of inviting this week! We got 8 new investigators which we are excited about 

- so much good fruit in Thailand - dragon fruit, pineapple, mango, coconut, jackfruit, bananas, apples....I love this country

-we had so many appointment this week we were literally running to them - we love being busy here!! 

-switch offs in Asoke this week- Asoke is INSANE. SO BUSY. I love it!

-met a crazy drunk white guy this week who was walking in the streets with a beer bottle and he told us all about how Mormons were crazy. Hmmm. I think we were more credible but it was an interesting encounter. 

We have a new prophet! As many of you know, President Monson recently passed away. This week we watched and translated a broadcast in which our new prophet, President Nelson, spoke to the world as the newest prophet. I felt the spirit and I know and testify that President Nelson is God's prophet on the earth today. As we listen to his words, we will find greater peace and happiness and direction. President Nelson is an amazing man - look him up and read about his life!

Love you all!! Have a great week!

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...

1. Get out of the church!! Hello hello hello! Wow so much happens every single day here and I don't even know where to start so I guess I'll just make a list of a few miracles and cool things this week.  1. The prophet came to Thailand!! Wow this was such a cool opportunity! President Russell M Nelson and Elder Jeffery R Holland and their wives came and spoke to the largest gathering of saints in Thailand ever (and I got to be a part of this historical event - cool). It was such a special experience to be there and hear what they said. They talked a lot about the temple coming to Thailand and about the Savior! It was cool because all of the missionaries from Thailand came and I got to see all of my old companions and other friends, as well as members from Chiang Mai because people came from the entire country!! And some investigators came which was a cool experience for them.  2. We had some people who wanted to get baptized a few months ago who dropped off th...
