Companion: Elder VanDenBerghe
April 22, 2013
Hello Everybody!
Songkran was a hoot! We were just on the side of a street
outside of the chapel down in Sinakarin soaking people as they drove up in the
back of pickup trucks! Sometimes we would play it with ice water we would buy
this huge block of ice and put it in our water supply, but sometimes they would
have ice water too! Soo cold! Ok so I guess not Canadian cold but it was pretty
chilly!
Training is going swimmingly, Elder VanDenBerghe is awesome!
He doesn’t let the fact that he is new hold him back from talking to everybody!
And his Thai is way better than he thinks. He likes working hard and I hope I haven’t
been killing him on our bike rides we have had some pretty long ones. Greenies
are so golden! We have been in some lessons lately where he explains things so great
and the spirit just comes in and takes care of the rest I don’t even have to
explain anything. He’s got greenie power and the spirit helps him out so much!
It is so much fun helping him out and remembering being right there it’s a lot
of fun seeing it from the trainer’s side. Every once a while he will say some
things in Thai that are pretty funny especially because I said the same things
back in the day. For example, calling an old lady a dog instead of a mother and
saying to hide when he’s trying to say to teach. It’s really nice to be back to
working really hard and being very obedient, it was really hard before, but I
learned a lot of patience. Another cool bit about training is that I feel like I’ve
got an upgrade in everything I seem to have better studies, speak and
understand Thai better, teach with greater power, all of my concerns and most
of my weaknesses are being made stronger as I am in need and as I seek help
from the Lord in training.
Our investigator Jaawaw got interviewed for baptism
yesterday but she didn’t pass. She has recognized that she receives these
feelings of peace and swelling in her heart. She just still has not put two and
two together. We are excited that she has received these answers and will help
her to build her testimony of the truthfulness of this gospel.
I am so happy about that play the pics are awesome and I am
sure that Teddy did so well
