Week 18: Hard but good

2. Random Cambodian village in the middle of the city


Hello, great week in  บางนา, as usual. 

Fun stuff from this week...

-went to a trampoline park today which was fun 
-I love Thailand because we eat so much fruit! One day this week, I ate pineapple, apple, coconut, jackfruit, papaya, rose apple, dragon fruit, banana...and that was one day! I love fruit 
-Everyone has NY Yankees hats here. It is weird but I like seeing a little piece of home every day 
- so many miracles this week! We had people wave us across the street and we taught them, investigators came to church for the first time, etc. God is so good!

This week was hard sometimes. We had two people supposed to be baptized yesterday but long story short, they didn't and they are not really talking with us any more. Lots of people didn't answer the phone and stopped talking with us but nothing can make me that discouraged because I am a representative of JESUS CHRIST and there is nothing that can stop His work. I am privileged to teach and represent him every day. I live the coolest life ever!! Also there were lots of new people who we met this week and we have investigators getting baptized!! I also fasted this week and I love fasting because it allows us to feel God's power so much more in our lives. I love Jesus Christ and his church and I love being a missionary!! Have a good week! Sorry my emails are the worst!

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...

Week 30: Week in review

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...
