Hello!!!
Guys it has been such an awesome week we have been working
hard I got to go on switch-offs with the zone leaders we played church jeoprady
for mutual we found 7 new investigators I had my firs baptismal interview, and
I have laughed sooo much this week. Bo and Nuun are way funny and remind me a
lot of my sisters as well Nuun is crazy like Chrissy and Bo is similar like
Kenny they are cousins and act just like the girls do when they get together
with Bethany the cool part is they live like 2 streets down from each other. We
started teaching their other cousin whose name is Chompoo she is probably the
Teddy of the bunch! She is awesome too she had sat in a couple lessons with Bo
and Nuun before I had got here but hasn’t really learned but what she has done
is read all the way to Mosiah on her own! Awesome!
We also got to teach a couple of Laotians while on the
switch off with the zone leaders which was way sweet; Laotians are awesome! I am
starting to pick up on northern a bit but I keep getting it mixed up with the Laotian
I know cause its similar but at the same time very different. But in Chiang Rai
they speak more northern than they spoke Essan. In the Essan, they use it more
then Thai its way fun. Since we are right in the mountains there are also a ton
of the hill tribes peoples and there languages are so crazy it sounds like
gibberish kinda like what Thai probably sounds like to you. It’s funny Thai doesn’t
sound Asian anymore it just sounds normal cause I know what it means, when I
was with Elder Xaiyawong I got good at listening so now I can hear other
peoples conversations even just a snippet and I know what they are saying,
which is way fun especially when they are talking about you! So fun to jump
into those kinds of conversations they laugh and laugh and then change to like
Essan or northern and then you change too and then you laugh as their jaw hits
the ground also sometimes there is someone who at least knows that we can speak
and he warns them first like they can speak Thai and their like whatever and
then we jump in and the one guy is always like I told you so! haha
This week we have zone conferece on Thursday so we get to
take a bus down on Wednesday night and then as soon as zone conference is over
we get on a train to Bangkok with Elder Slaughter and Elder Heras to go renew
Elders Omer and Elder Heras visas and then we spend the day in Bangkok and get
back at the crack of dawn just in time to go on switch-offs with the
assistants. It is going to be quite the whirlwind week it’s going to be a hoot!
Love you all!
