Companion: Elder Hill
July 28, 2013
Hey XD
This week was lots of fun! I don’t think I ever told you but
Elder Hill gave a talk in sacrament meeting last week and he did awesome! he
talked for like 10 mins! he’s such a boss. Hey other news I bought a ukulele
and its way nicer than my last one but it was even cheaper I scored a sick
deal. Elder Hill is quite the gifted musician and he’s teaching me a bunch
cause he actually knows what he is doing! He is going to buy one today and then
we are going to have a P-Day jam sesh! This week we found an orange dog some
one took like their lap dog and died it bright orange! It looks hilarious! Our
street contacting is going way better and we found a couple solid people and .
. . A FAMILY! so excited I love families so much! We also had a guy just walk
into church and he’s interested and he stayed for all three hours it was way
sweet! We had a way good activity on reading the book of Mormon before Christmas
and we are planning to do a mini trek like we did in our stake except do it all
in only 3 hours! It is going to be awesome I have never ever heard of anybody
doing anything like a trek in Thailand its going to rock!! BTW it has been
pouring, like coming down in sheets for like 12 hours straight! There has been
soo much rain this week we have been soaked for the past 3 days! Oh ya I just
took a mid email bathroom break and in the urinals here they put slices of lime
to deodorize it soo funny! Oh Thailand! That’s our new thing whenever something
crazy happens or something that doesn’t make sense we say "because Thai"
and laugh! We started a new thing too the P-Day tie its quite simple but brings
so much joy you find an absolutely hideous tie you know the one that looks like
the machine exploded and you wear it all day! We are definitely finding the Joy
in the simple things out here and it’s so fun. We also went and cut sis A's
grass again with machetes so exhausting but she came to church and this time
brought her whole family and we got to give her daughter a blessing! Love you
heaps!
Love
Elder Cahoon

coolest cousins!

๗ ๘ ๙ pretty cool right! Dude your reading is so good
everybody in Thailand has a goal to read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover
before Christmas to be gift to Christ and so I started over where I was in the
Thai Book of Mormon and I’m going to do it and I’m almost finished first Nephi
again but this time I understand so much more!
Jeana - What an awesome fun day! That is sweet! Sparklers
are fun! Did you ride the baby horses?
Chrissy - that sounds like a pretty fun date! I love
bridge/cliff jumping so much fun!! So who his best looking R..., C... or M...?
and more importantly which one is crushing on my sister? haha That’s so sick
that you guys have a car and can drive an stuff it’s like the epitome of
freedom!
Kendra - I LOVE chilling in cars driving around and just
cruising to awesome music! You never want to leave southern Alberta its way
fun!
Mum - That’s so awesome that they are back! Alexander sure
is growing up. I love Great Grandma too tell her I miss her! That’s good that
she can just relax now. hahaha That is the best gift I have ever heard of that
is hilarious! That is crazy about the Brooks tons of stuff happening all so
exciting! No way I had a dream about you guys too last night actually. I was
back home and it was my first day back and I was pretty miserable everything
made me Thailand and I just cried and cried and I couldn’t speak Thai to anyone
and I was so happy when I woke up and I remembered I was still in Thailand and I
still have the better part of a year before I return. I really do love my family
and I think of you all and pray for you often but I really love it here and
thinking of going home just makes me sad. However this dream and this email
have motivated me to record better my stay here cause I want to remember it for
the rest of my life even when I am oceans away.
