Area: Pak Kret
Companion: Elder Richardson
Hey, Hello!
Well, as the subject clearly states Tuun got baptized this
week! And I got to baptize her! WOW, it was so amazing. What a great experience;
and then yesterday Elder Richardson and I stood in the circle when she was
confirmed! It was a wonderful weekend. I love this area so much; the
investigators, the recent converts, the members, the missionaries. I feel so
blessed to be born in Pakkret what an amazing place! The joy I feel in helping
others receive baptism is exquisite; truly "how great shall be your
joy!" Let me tell you it’s pretty great! We have 2 more baptisms coming up
on the 22nd, so excited! Bro World and Sis Faay and they are way
stellar. Br World is so awesome. He just gets it; the answers he gives to our
questions just blows me away! One time in a lesson we taught about Thomas S
Monson and he asked if he could pray for Thailand to have a temple and we were
like um YEAH so he did and he prayed that Pres Monson would prophesy that Thailand
would have a temple!
We had a ton of fun experiences this past week; some really
hard days, some really fun days and a baptism. Lots of learning and lots of growth
we are continually trying to work with members and find less-actives. It is a
great work and a work that can totally be done at home too! On top of all this,
yesterday night on the way home, after Tuun's baptism, I saw an elephant like 2
mins away from our house and it was trumpeting! So cool! Gosh I am obsessed
with elephants; it’s ridiculous, but they are so cool. I have actually seen 3
this week!
Sounds like things are crazy awesome back home! I knew you
guys would like school; it really is fun! I am glad you are finding a bunch of
friends and it sounds like ya'll are taking way fun classes! Chrissy- Cent
sounds like an absolute riot! Dang girl, do you like know half the people that
go there? Yet that’s a ton of fun people and your classes sound like such a
party! Teddy/Kendra - Sounds like MP is going to be soo much fun I’m so happy
for you guys! And you’ve got a bunch of friends already, so sweet! I’m glad you
both are so excited about it. Jeana - man I wish I could see her go off to
school. It would be soo cute, take some pics! Have fun at school Jeana; love
you jup jup (it kinda means like kiss kiss haha you use it when you are talking
to really little kids, btw Thai kids are so dang cute it’s ridiculous) Mikaela
HAPPY BIRTHDAY girl your old now officially an adult that’s crazy have a blast!
Mum - you are an angel! I got that package from England with
those strawberry bonbons that I love so much; they were to die for. Thank you
soo much. And also this week I found that recording you had Carlos do and I
really have to thank the both of you for that. We had a rough day this week. We
worked hard and nothing happened and it was pouring all day. But, at the end of
the day I found that and listened to it and, wow, what a boost. So great and
sooo extremely helpful; there was some fantastic advice! Thank you sooo much!!
It looks like you are going to stay plenty busy even without the kids at home!
Just a heads up this upcoming week for PDay we have decided
to bike from here to Ayutthaya like an 8 hour round trip. It’s going to be such
a hoot! What an adventure; we are so stoked and yes, there will be a ton of
pics!
Love,
Elder Cahoon
