Week 20: baptism and miracles!!!

-



สวัสดีค่ะ what a week!! This week was full of awesome ups and downs. Here we go....

1. ขิม (Kim) got baptized on Sunday! She is thr cutest and she already fits in so well with the ward. 

2. We got a referral from Nagina, one of our investigators, on Tuesday. Her name is Sophia and she came to English class with Nagina. We talked about prayer with her and gave her a Book of Mormon and when we met with her on Thursday, she asked some great questions and it was such a great lesson! Excited to see how she will progress.  

3. We had interviews with President Johnson this week and it is always so awesome to talk with him! 

4. Miracle: we were visiting a recent  convert when we got a phone call from an investigator of ours who was about to get baptized and then stopped picking up our phone calls. We were really confused and sad when she stopped talking with us 3 days before she was supposed to get baptized so we were so happy to get that call! We were able to go and visit her and she came to church the next day!! 

Man I don't even remember what happened this week. I should just let you all read my journal. Spiritual thought: read Alma 29 about desires and tell me what you think....I love verse 5!! 

LOVE YOU all! Have a happy Valentine's day! And happy birthday to my sister Clara who turns 12 on Wednesday!

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...
