Companion: Elder VanDenBerghe
April 29, 2013
Hello Everybody!
Hey, I’m so glad to get your letter! We had a sports day for
p-day today it was so much fun played soccer and hours of dodgeball and a fun
basketball game that’s kind of like ultimate frisbee but it’s with basketball
and someone on your team has the net and helps it go in! A bunch of the
young men from Pakkret were all there to play too it was way fun to see them
again and to be able to talk and joke around with them.
That’s crazy that Caroline is off to the MTC and that Joseph
is back and soon so will Elder Wood be too!
Mikaela - that sounds like a way good party good luck with
your driver’s license. I love teaching primary! it’s so much fun! Do you have a
calling?
Tina - that’s rough about your teeth, what happened to your
back?
Teddy - life is great! Being a missionary is the best thing
out there!
Kenny - I love Sis Stanford she’s so awesome! That sounds
like such a fun activity!
Ben - Have you been practicing basketball man? I haven’t
played in so long we were shooting around today for a little bit and I was
pretty terrible! haha
Jeana - I am learning to write and spell too I take spelling
tests every day but it’s really hard sometimes and I make a lot of mistakes I
bet that you can spell better than me already
What happened to the bike in the picture?
We had a great week! Elder VanDenBerghe is such a boss! He
is way good at talking to everyone and is getting so much better at the
language so fast! He is such a trooper too. I really like to ride my bike and I
ride my bike really fast but he just keeps on trucking! I am continually impressed
by him while we are teaching he usually doesn’t share a whole lot but the
things he does say really invite the spirit! And the spirit helps the
investigator to understand the message that he shares. Sis Jawwaw interviewed
for baptism this week but she didn’t pass. She has not been able to fully
understand and recognize the answers that she has received; also we need to
help her have a better understanding of her Saviour. We have been helping her
with these things and overcome her last couple concerns and she should be ready
for another interview this week. She has been reading her scriptures and been
marking them up a ton and always has something to share with us from her
studies. We are also going to start teaching the son of a less-active family
who hasn’t been baptized and he’s like 11. He has got some severe ADD or ADHD
or whatever he’s kind of a wild child but I really like this kid and we are the
first missionaries they have let in their door in over a year though many have
tried. I am sure that this kid Jiim is going to be the key to helping this
family and Elder VanDenBerghe seem perfect for the job as we both have 8
siblings and are used to helping and teaching kids.
In other news there are two wonderful sisters in my branch
they are sisters whose names are Toi and Tiew they are in their 40's and are
still single but really want to be married and also want to still live in
Thailand this is not a immigration or money thing. They are just a couple of
really nice ladies who are way solid members. They asked if I could ask my
parents to ask around for them and/or find them a husband. Toi has added me on Facebook and speaks English really well in fact she is an English teacher. So
you could like send her a message and talk to her via Facebook. Thanks for your
help in looking into this :)
Well my time has come once more and unfortunately I am a
miserably slow typer but until next week I love you all sooo much. I love being
companions with Elder VanDenBerghe and I love being a missionary and taking a
part in this marvelous work!
Love,
Elder Cahoon
