Week 19: I get roasted and SO MANY MIRACLES

-



Helllllooo my phone just stopped working so I am going to quickly send out an email from my companion Sister Ballif's phone. This week was crazy hard and good. We had zone conference this week and it was a great opportunity to learn more about how to be a better missionary. It was quite apparent that there are a lot of things I need to do better so I was a little upset with myself for not being a better missionary in the first place. I was feeling a little subdued the next day because of all the things I needed to do better so I got a priesthood blessing from one of the Elders serving in บางนา  with us. The words he said were just what I needed to hear and I know that they were inspired by the Spirit so I am so grateful for the priesthood and the ways it blesses my life. 

This week was FULL of miracles. We taught so many great lessons and had so many miracles. We found 9 new people to teach and a lot more potentials to teach. I know that the Lord has prepared so many people to hear the gospel here in บางนา and if I have faith I will find them as was evident this week. 

In other news, it rained on Wednesday and it TOTALLY flooded the streets! It was way wet for a few days. Fun! Good thing I wear crocs every day. Teaching English was fun on Tuesday as usual. We taught about body parts and we played head shoulders knees and toes which was funny because it was the advanced class so it was a bunch of older people. I love teaching English! 

So many other cools things and miracles this week but my companion still needs to email her family so I need to give her her phone back. I love you all! Have a good 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...

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...
