What up!
Sounds like a great week back home. The English adventure is
over and the kids are gearing up to go to school! That’s crazy Mum. What are
you going to do with all of your free time? (other than shred with Becky which
btw is awesome!) Thank you so much for the info on the crane I have been dying
to know cause there is like 5 of them outside the window I look out all
morning! That is pretty nuts how they do it! My room looks crazy different. I
LOVE the colour! And teal for the next one sounds pretty sweet! Dad that is way
awesome good for you Spanish and photography I am very impressed! As far as
learning a language goes speaking and reading the scriptures seems to be the
best way, so maybe you could get a Spanish B of M? Helps a ton with pronunciation,
spelling, reading (duh) and its scripture!
Life in Thailand is stellar. I really need to take more pics
but I’m doing pretty good with the journal. First off I would like to
confirm a rumour Thailand doesn’t believe in deodorant! dang it! It stinks.
haha (sorry) We have a lot of exciting developments in this past week. It was a
great week but, it went by sooooo fast. Fastest week of the mission hands down!
Prbly cause we were so busy in this great work! On Tuesday we had specialized
training with the whole zone and it was incredible; so inspirational, and it
just got us ridiculously pumped! So here is the sich. Our zone is 4 Melchizedek
priesthood holding, full-tithe paying men away from becoming the second stake
in Thailand!!! Not only this but every other zone in the country is right
behind us. We are prbly less than a year away from not 1 or 2 but 7 stakes in Thailand!!!
This is huge and last month we had 72 baptisms in the mission; our average is
30-40 and 72 is very likely an all-time mission record; but this next month we
have a goal of 109 and if things continue we are going to smash that goal! We
are so excited it’s ridiculous! This is the time for missionary work in Asia to
explode and I get to be here for it I get to take part in this amazing work in
this historic time! Ahhh, I’m just so excited you have no idea! I’m just blown
away; so stoked and so blessed to be here of all places!
This week Tuun passed her interview and she is getting
baptized on the 8th! and I got to do greenie switch-offs with Elder Tirrell my
noong. It was a blast but kinda tough too because I had to lead everything and
make a lot of decisions and plan activities because the night before over half
of our investigators essentially dropped themselves. So, we currently have 5 investigators
total; ahh, it was a very sad day! But, we cleared our list so the Lord can
fill it with His; with the people He has prepared, so we know we just have to
go find them!
The week really was great it was just way too fast. Kinda
scared me a little, time needs to slow back down, but it was a great reminder
that I don’t have a lot of time and that these two years really are short!
It is so sweet that you all get to be involved with the
temple. Those pictures are gorgeous! What a privilege to have a temple in
Calgary and to serve there. I can’t believe Mum and Dad lucked out and get to
be tour guides, wow! I love the temple and I love all of you. You are in my
thoughts and my prayers!
Love,
Elder Cahoon
