Dear Family and Friends,

Have I ever told you how much I love you guys? You’re pretty awesome! Life sounds way busy and exciting back home! First off, thank you soo much for the brownie recipe, Elder Richardson and I are so excited to go make it!

The mission wall sounds pretty sweet! I will have to make sure I take some pictures especially for that. Well, the bike trip to Ayutthaya is canceled for this week because of weather. There is a typhoon that is on its way to hitting South Korea but we are kinda on the way there so that has meant a TON of rain the past couple days. It’s just a really big rain storm but the weird part is there isn’t really any of the wind you would expect, just a slight cool breeze, which is truly wonderful! So we will prbly do it in a couple of weeks if we are both still here (transfer meeting is coming up in a week and a half and it is shaping up to be another crazy one no one knows what’s going to happen cept Pres Senior!) I’m pretty stoked for transfers again because for this one our whole group has to come back to renew our visas so I get to see everyone again! In fact this week I got to talk to Elder Ellsworth again, which was way sweet, we are both kind of freaaking out though because we have like a week left of training, it went so crazy fast!

We have a baptism this Saturday; Sis Faay passed her interview! And then our next one is going to be on the 6th. We are being blessed right now with some super sweet investigators. We had like 3 a little while ago but we have found a lot of people this week and they are way solid. We started teaching Sis Tuun's son Fluke he’s 9 we are really excited it’s going to be like teaching primary again! Just in Thai this time haha. And we are going to her house tonight for FHE, which is awesome, cause we have never been there before and because her husband, whom we have never met, should be there! YES! 

I really enjoyed everyone’s emails this week. Mum, you are so awesome! The other thing I didn’t add last week, which was really cool, was that when you were talking about Dover and the ocean and the castles and stuff it was soo cool. It just seemed like the years melted away; it was youthful and vibrant; it really sounds like you had such a wonderful time.

Who was running that meeting for tour guides? They are ridiculously quotable; that stuff was awesome! I am so jealous that you guys get to have a part in that and so happy that we have a temple in Calgary! Elder Richardson and I talk about temples all the time. We love them soo much and miss going to them and ahh we just love them. They are so beautiful and just looking at them you get that feeling! There is one Liahona that is our absolute favourite it’s a special temple edition and its chock full of pictures. We look at it so much! One of my favourite pictures is of an ordinance room in the Newport Beach Temple. The mural is amazing; so gorgeous and life like and wow! (On a side note Elder Richardson loves San Diego and area as much as I do, prbly more, he has been there more. We both want to move there when we get home or at least go to school there.)

Are you guys gearing up for conference yet? We are so excited here; we're counting down can’t wait and on this side of the world we have to wait an extra week for it to be translated and everything. A couple of the members in our ward are the ones that do the translating! So sweet! One of them is Br Art Hes, like our best friend here, he’s the kind of RM I want to be, except he needs to get married, haha, although we are working on that jk not really!

Everyone sounds like they are having so much fun and just great experiences. Congrats on making the team Teddy!! And Chrissy too! Teddy your teacher sounds super awesome! Stick is going to be fun, let me tell you, especially with Dad I remember that well. Kaela have a great season reffing. You were always a much braver ref than I, haha. Jeana and Olivia, just so wonderfully adorable! Kenny - I LOVE HUGS can you send me one? I will catch it on the wind! Dad- you are doing so much fishing! dang the Sheep got you again!

Well, the time has come once again to part, again and until next week, know that you are loved!
