HI!

It is really fun training and reliving the greenie experience through your son those really were the best of times! Not knowing what anyone is saying everyone calling you farang eating songtam for the first time eating all the hot crazy food that for some reason your trainer loves ;) having constant diarrhea getting over jet lag falling asleep whenever you’re sitting for more than 20 mins, calling people names when you’re trying to compliment them having members tease you and you don’t know what’s going on its so much fun! Elder Hill is handling it like a champ he just wants to take on the world and he is so good he volunteered to share the spiritual thought at his very first FHE. I had to help him out a bit but that is crazy there was no way I was brave enough to do that on my first time. He is also way funny and he happens to be crazy good at martial arts like Elder Omer but he knows Hun Ga which is like Shaolin monk craziness, he was also an EMT and a flabotamist (no idea how to spell that! someone that draws blood) he has the funniest stories from the hospital and like different calls he has had to go on! he had me in stitches I was crying I was laughing so hard! Stuff like a guy calling his neck tumor Kathy and then when they chuckled at that the guy was like "you think my cancer is funny?!" at which point both Elder Hill and the surgeon had to leave the room cause they were laughing so hard! Another couple highlights were I kicked the dog that chases us all the time he tries to get us like every day and I kicked him HARD right on the nose and everything. Another was we were teaching Chompo at her house which is kinda in mountain jungle and while we were teaching a big frog jumped on my companion 555 he freaked and then not 30 seconds later Chompo's cat came running in with a big rat in its mouth and it was still alive and the cat ran right in the room and dropped the rat and then everyone freaked. Chompo and her mom and the sister that was helping us all screamed, haha. When we got over our fright we laughed and laughed!
Besides all the fun we are having we are really working with the youth a lot and trying to apply the Work of Salvation. Elder Hill is really gung ho and willing to do or try just about anything except eat the hot food I give him. It is really great having so many new ideas and things to try there is no one perfect way to do missionary work if there was we would all be doing it.
Hey Mikaela I saw you have got a new mission pres Alan J Baker that is gonna be so sweet I’m so stoked for you. That’s so sweet that the Brad and Rachael came up to visit I bet you all had a blast!!!
Love you Guys!!!
