Area: Roi Et
Companion: Elder Wilson
Hey Hey
I am still in Roi-Et!!!!! I am so happy to have stayed this
transfer could not have worked out better but it was a little crazy as usual.
Elder Yuen moved He is training! It’s his first time we are all so excited for
him and he of course is stoked his trainee is the luckiest greenie in the
mission! He was the only one in our awesome family of the 101 LA Squirrels!
Which means another 9 weeks of awesomeness with Sis Painter, Sis Packard, Elder
Tatton and Elder Thomas! I love those 4 soo much they really are family and we
are life-long friends!
So Monday we get a call from Pres Senior telling Elder Yuen
he is training and that we need to pack tonight to go the trainers meeting the
next morning at 9 so we finished P-Day and went to Sis Prew's house for FHE and
at the end he announces he’s moving and Sis Prew starts bawling and everyone is
sad and they take us home we say goodbye to the District the sisters cry he
packs everything in 20 mins and Bro Bo takes us to the bus station only to find
out all the busses were full sooo.... we had to go home and we missed the
meeting. The next day was district meeting and the sisters still didn’t know we
were still here so we go running into the class in the church and Elder Yuen is
like "where is my backpack" runs over to the cupboard grabs it and
runs out. Well when the sisters saw him run in they screamed and looked like
they had just seen a ghost! It was hilarious and everyone was very happy to see
us!
That day we gave Kwanchay and his wife priesthood blessings
it was such a sweet moment we explained blessings to them and asked if
they had the faith to be healed they said yes they believed that Jesus could
heal them and so we blessed them with healing both physically and spiritually
and it was beautiful we asked them how they felt after and they said "I
felt a power rest upon my body as you laid you hands on my head" and the
other "I felt a warmth come from the crown of my head and flow from there
into my arms and legs" I love the priesthood and feel so grateful to hold
and use it in the service of others.
So it also turned out that Sis Packard and Elder Thomas
needed to renew their visas so we had a family roadtrip and got in at 4 in the
morning and went to the Chaengwattana church and slept on the couches and
talked and waited for others to show up, some of the first were from Chiang Rai.
Elder Hill is moving I ran and gave him a big hug he brought my suit jacket and
letters from members Chompoo was baptized the deaf lady disappeared Bro Jagaw
got the melchizdek priesthood and Ann and Ivy started learning again and have a
date for baptism. Lots of good news. I saw Elder Vandenberghe and Elder Omer
too. Elder Omer is training and Elder Vandenberghe is in Nong Khai right by Lao.
Elder Yuen went to whitewash train in Bangkok an area called Lat Phrao which is
not even a branch it’s a unit he is going to do so great there! Me and Elder Gilley
were both way nervous for our new companions but not to fear I got Elder Wilson
and he is so sweet he is only on transfers 9 but so solid he is a great
addition to our 101 family! And he was Sis Painter's district leader in Udon.
Also funny story it was pouring rain and me and Elder Yuen were hungry before
the meeting so we head out with umbrellas to find the street is flooded so we
took of our shoes and rolled our pants up and crossed through some nasty water
and then walked on the Bangkok sidewalk barefoot to 7/11 so we could get
breakfast it was a great last adventure!
Our whole district got balanced key indicators again the 3rd
week in a row! We have been blessed with quite a few new investigators and
daters lately. Elder Wilson is way good at inviting he is just really creative
in the way he doesn’t like sometimes just giving a pass along card for baptism
and not saying anything until they ask about it and then asking them so are you
going to do it? Way funny but it really gets them interested and asking
questions. It is going to be another great transfer! I LOVE my mission! and I
LOVE Roi-Et!!!
Love
Elder Cahoon!
