Ladies and Gentlemen
Hi!

We had quite the past week started out on Monday we watched 17 Miracles together as a district at the church sweet movie and yes I saw Uncle Chris and bragged a little! We all freaked out when Levi Savage got called to Siam (Thailand!) and then for the rest of the movie we would funny things he could say in Thai in the different situations. We have the coolest district ever! We all just get along so great and we all love to laugh and we are way funny well at least we think we are! The great part about it to is everybody is working way hard too and experiencing great success everyone has daters is teaching lots and finding new people and are way close to getting balanced key indicators we made it again this week and got some awesome new investigators!
One of our new investigators we met him on Wednesday at the park his name is Bo he is 50 and single and way fit cause he loves to exercise and he wanted to know where he came from before birth so we told him and got to teach him the next day at the church with a member of the district pres and he is way solid and when we taught him on Saturday we showed him the baptismal font and did like a spiritual creation full of faith we showed him the font and explained what baptism was really short and then we said that when he had the chance he would be dressed in white and walk down the stairs and enter the water then a man with the power of God would baptize and that he would come out of the water clean and filled with exquisite happiness and it would be a day he would never forget! Then we asked if he would follow Jesus Christ and be baptized? and of course he said yes! It was such a cool teaching experience because we created the picture with him so he saw himself being baptized too!
He came to church the next day for fast and testimony meeting, and it was a way powerful meeting like all the members bore testimony of tithing which was so awesome because that’s all we have been teaching the members these days according to the new training that we got at Zone leader Council on Tuesday in Bangkok! Bo called us later that day and thanked us for inviting him to church and explained how he had felt such peace and happiness there and he wanted to know when we could meet again! He has been so prepared it’s amazing!
Yesterday wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies though we were fasting and so thirsty and still tired from the 20+km bike ride the day before and just felt exhausted not gonna lie it was a really hard fast! After church all 3 of our appointments fell through and my inner tube popped! Luckily Elder Yuen had an extra but we still had to walk 2km back to town before we could find someone with a pump and the I changed it myself and they were pretty impressed I guess most people don’t know how? Then we went to Tan and Phon's house, they are this awesome family that we have been working really hard on, and they dropped us and gave all the BOM 's and pamphlets back we were devastated especially cause we knew that they knew it was true but they decided it was easier to not know and not have to keep the commandments and we just bore a lot of bold testimony and it made them really uncomfortable and guilty cause they knew what they were doing was wrong it was so sad being totally rejected like that, so we were exhausted thirsty and totally rejected and way sad and up next we needed to find one more investigator for the week so we could get balanced key indicators and we went to the park and within 10 mins we found 2 super prepared people who were interested and basically set up their own first lessons. It just blew us away we felt such overwhelming gratitude we felt like we had pushed our hardest and were physically exhausted and spiritually spent and saddened because of the poor decisions of those we loved we had reached that point and decided to go a little further and it was then that the Lord provided. It was then that the Lord saw that he could trust us enough that he could give us two of his children whom he had prepared! It was a beautiful tender mercy!

Love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!
