Hey Guys!!!

Thanks for the pics! I finally figured out the problem and I hope you like the pictures! That’s so awesome that you got a chance to work on the farm that would be way fun! The 3 youngest look like they have grown so much Ben's hair is way long again it’s a good look on him! We have had such an awesome whirlwind week! Starting with the way fun P-day at the park with the photo shoot and grounders.

Then on Wednesday we had switch-offs with the assistants I went out with Elder Davies who is in the same group as Elders Gilley, Yuen and Tatton. He is way sweet he’s from Draper and we had such a cool day together our elders quorum president is retired and he drove us around for 5 hours going and visiting LA's and inviting them to District Conference. He is such a boss and it was so cool going around with him and seeing him ministering to his flock!

Then Thursday we had a meeting with Elder Khanakham who is Pres Senior's first counselor and it was amazing.

Then Friday we went to Khonkaen for leadership training all the Zone and District Leaders and Trainers, so pretty much our whole zone. The training was for all 3 Essan zones so there was a bunch of people there and I saw Elder Gilley (he is ZL in Udorn) We were also fasting cause we were way nervous about translating all day Saturday and Sunday.

Hey just an aside apparently Greg Vance served here in Roi-Et! Cool right! So they love Canadians! Funny story so I went with President Senior to the Pres Giang's house to visit his family first and Pres Senior is like hey Elder Cahoon is from Canada so he doesn’t speak English and they were all like, say what?? And I was like yep I only speak French! haha but then we told them they were kidding!

Then Saturday and Sunday the fun really began Elder Yuen and I went and translated for the home visits I went with Pres Senior and Elder Yuen went with Elder Wu and Elder Khanakham went Pres Gong. And then we got to eat lunch with all of them and celebrate Sis Senior's birthday! Then we proceeded for to translate meetings for the next 7 hours it was way cool the meetings were amazing! and we even more amazing we were able to translate all of it. I got to translate for Sis Senior and Sis Gong and Elder Khanakham would always translate for Elder Wu and Pres Gong! There were almost 500 members for the Sunday meeting it was amazing! We filled the chapel and most of the 3 overflow rooms that had it braoadcasted! There were so many miracles this weekend especially the ordination of 24 new melchizdek priesthood holders in the District! It was awesome ever since Elder Andersen came to visit the work has accelerated so fast its miraculous! It is such a phenomenal time to be serving in Thailand!

Love you All

Elder Cahoon
