Hey Guys,

We have seen miracles in Chiang Rai. The Lord has really blessed us in our efforts. We are working hard and the work is progressing and it shows as well.

First the good news. In a combined effort of our two companion-ships we led 7 less-active members back to church. For some of them it was the first time in years! It was phenomenal we were so thrilled! Also in my companionship the Lord led us to 4 very prepared new investigators. One asked us to help her become clean from sin on her first lesson. Another experience we went to go visit a less-active but he was not there, but we felt strongly prompted to call at the door across the street. We did so and a couple came out to meet us and both myself and Elder Omer felt distinctly like we had seen them before. I asked them but they had never seen us before in fact had just moved in to town 3 days prior from the mountains. They immediately accepted our invite to learn of restored truths. We were able to share with them and bare simple testimony. We found out they were catholic but were looking for something else. They said before we left that they felt like God had sent us. We bore testimony that he truly had. It was incredible! I have never had such an amazing experience, it was beautifully unique. We had a second chance to see them and share the message of the Restoration. The spirit filled the room, they felt something special. I am so impressed with their sincerity and how they wholeheartedly listen, they are so focused and really think about the questions we ask them. They explained that they have always wanted to know if God was real and loved but had never thought to ask. You could tell that they had truly yearned to know for themselves. Again before we left they expressed their feelings that we were like angels sent of God. It floored me they have such simple beautiful faith and they are able to perceive the principles that we teach. I am so grateful for especially these two investigators. I literally think of them every hour of every day. I feel so much love for them and I have barely met them and in between lessons I can’t wait for the next time to teach them. 

Love you Guys
