Companion: Elder Siperly
Hello One and All!
It is soo great to hear from
you all! I LOVE the fact that you are spending so much time down south playing
with cousins and spending time at the farm and making amazing memories! It
sounds like an absolute blast! Chrissy-that looks like a way sweet truck! Do
you have your license yet? By the way I forgot to say last time but Kendra-that
sounds like quite the fall flipping right over the horse but your built tonka
tough! I think one of the best parts of being on a mission is seeing others
happiness! You become really like unselfish and when you hear about other
people having fun or making memories or going to England or going on missions
or changing their lives or having kids or accepting the gospel or coming to
church or getting an answer to a prayer; you feel so inexpressibly happy! Mii
yindii cing cing! And it is honestly just brings me so much joy to hear that
those I love are happy and that those that I have the opportunity to love in
Thailand are becoming even happier by accepting the Gospel and changing their
lives, So keep the good times rolling and keep me informed because I love it! I
love seeing the joy in others’ lives!
Here in Thailand we have been
able to have a lot of people in our shared area (with Mueang Thong Cox and Christensen)
prepare for baptism 3 people are getting baptized this week! Although they are
not our investigators I have got to teach them on switch offs and talk with
them and they are soo awesome! Our investigator Tuun is doing well too but her baptism
is being moved to Sept 1 to give her time to build her testimony and get an
answer herself and confirm what she already knows, but she is awesome and we
love her so much. Yesterday we had District Conference (like stake conference)
and it was way sweet! There were so many members and missionaries all in one
place! It was fantastic! Totally warmed my heart to see the strength of the
church here! But there is still so much work to be done. Definitely the
highlight of the day was that Deed and Em and their daughter Nadia and their
newborn baby came to church!!! Deed and Nadia are our investigators and they
are so awesome and they have learned everything and Deed has made huge major
changes in his life. Our only struggle has been getting them to church and they
came!! They said they are coming next week too! Soo good! An investigator at
church is defs a wonderful sight to behold.
On an entirely different
subject this week on switch offs with Elder Christensen I started learning to
play the ukulele. He has a way nice one and he taught himself how to play. He
has got a knack for hearing songs and then tinkering around and teaching
himself how to play them. Anyway he taught me the 4 chords that you use to play
pretty much every song under the sun including Jack Johnson and hymns. So fun
and waay easier than playing a guitar and it sounds so sweet! And it is all
good under mission rules for p-day and free time! So today I am going uke
shopping! Haha! We will see how it goes by the time I get home I will be fluent
in Thai and uke! Haha!
Thank you very much for the
info on the football teams over here. Man U is massive in the malls. They have
stores full of Man U stuff! It’s pretty legit. I talked with a member here who
confirmed that Singha is the massive sponsor for a bunch of the English teams
as well as like all of the Thai teams. But
honestly, so funny to see a bus in Thailand drive by decked out in Man U red or
Chelsea blue and posters of the players and advertisements everywhere!
Mom, This trip sounds soo
amazing! So great to see all of the family and the sights and to do it all with
Nannie and Becky! Incredible! That would be fantastic if you got to go to the
lake district and/or Scotland. Wow way cool! Keep having great adventures!
Thank you once again for the
pictures. I love them! Mikaela-you look so different in blond but it is
gorgeous! Olivias hair is getting long and that picture of her on the trike is
priceless. You could probably win a prize for that! Chrissy-that truck is sweet!
You should get one! Your adventures at the farm sound like a dream come true!
Kendra-it looks like you are getting way good at horseback riding! You look
like a champ up there!
Love you all sooooo much!
Elder Cahoon
