7. Ancient  city Hey there friends and fam, hope that your lives are going well because mine is pretty awesome right now!! I really love being a missionary. I love the people here so much! I love the language! I love the culture! I love the food! It is way hard sometimes but I am so grateful to be here and to be a missionary. This week we had zone conference and I learned a lot. I have this sense of urgency that I didn't have before to become better and work harder and give 100% all of the time. I want to be the best missionary I can be so I need to be doing the best things all of the time! I learned a lot of ways I can be a better missionary and I am so excited to apply them all! It was also fun to see a bunch of other missionaries and catch up with them and talk with Sister Johnson, the mission president's wife. We also got burgers and fries for lunch which was way nice. One of our recent converts, อี๋ว, brought a friend to English class, วี, a few weeks ...

Hello from beautiful BANGNA THAILAND!!! I love this place, especially the people. I love the ward members here, the investigators, the missionaries, and the new people we meet every single day!  So this week we had a baptism! น้อต was baptized yesterday. She is the cutest thing ever. She met the missionaries when she came to English class and she learned with the missionaries before but then she stopped coming for a while. Anyways, she started coming to church and to activities again in the last few weeks and she said she had a dream that the missionaries told her to be baptized and she realized she needed to do it. So she was baptized!!! I love her and all of the people here so much. But funny story: we were supposed to do the baptism right after church but we accidently forgot to fill up the font so we had to delay it for 2 hours but oh well, life goes on. But a ton of our investigators still stayed and it was a great experience! We even had one say she wanted to get bapt...

Well well well another week has passed and Bangna is as awesome as ever! This week the assistants to the President challenged us to find at least one new investigator every day and we saw so many miracles in achieving this goal. One day we went inviting for 5 hours and had no success until we went to teach someone and by some miracle we saw a girl from our English class and were able to teach her and set up a new appointment with her. We have so much potential in Bangna right now! It is exciting. Here are some cool stories from the week: -we were walking back from a members house to visit her and we saw a little 8 year old Cambodian boy and we brought him to the church and showed him it and invited him to sports night  on Friday . He came and then we invited him to church  on Sunday . He got to church before we did and left when we did....We got there at  10am  and left at  7pm.  He even came to our ward correlation meeting. We were able to teach hi...
