Area: Roi Et
Companion: Elder Wilson
Hi Everybody!
Well another week bites the dust. We had a great week full
of hard work and its accompanied craziness. Some of which included doing a
training in both Kalasin and Khon Kaen on the same day back to back! Elder Tirrell
is the district leader in Kalasin he is my nong and we were greenies in Pakkret
together! He is so great way focused and he is exactly what that area and the
district needs I love him we still talk about the one time we went on
switchoffs when he had been in country for 4 weeks and me for 10! This week the
assistants gave us all a challenge to get 2 new daters this week in order to
prepare for every companionship having a baptism in the month of November. This week we were blessed greatly
and 3 of our investigators received dates to be baptized at the end of next
month! 2 of those are Batr and Baw the grandchildren of Kwanchay who have now
been coming to church for a month now finally accepted dates! Our inviting this
week has been going really solid lately Elder Wilson is way good at it and is
really fun and creative while doing it too! Sometimes he will go up to a person
say hello in English hand them a baptism egasan and then just stand there and
wait for them to say something, they usually try to giver it back and then he
breaks into Thai and the conversation proceeds as such:
Will you do it?
What? (you speak thai?!!)
Will you do it?
No
Why not?
I don’t know what it is!
Well let me tell you . . .
and he proceeds to explain baptism and invite them to prepare
themselves to be baptized. Pretty clever and pretty effective we have had
several people say yes to the invite to be baptized and the remainder well we
sifted through them really quick in order to find those who are truly prepared.
We have been teaching lots of wonderful people lately and
most days this week it felt like there wasn’t even enough time to eat! Sunday
was absolutely wonderful over a dozen members just returned from the temple
many of them went for the first time and were sealed and it had been long
awaited some for 17 years and they all bore their testimonies it was beautiful,
also Elder Tatton and Elder Thomas had a baptism the first one the district
leaders area has seen in almost a year! She was super awesome 11 years old part
of a part member family (the big family that Pres Senior and visited) and so
solid I got the privilege of interviewing her she said she wants to get
baptized so she can be a missionary and go to the temple like her grandparents,
she is way adorable and so sincere it was awesome!
Q&A BOX:
Ruler - it’s just really handy especially in planning for
lessons in your planner I would suggest a mini one though
Card Reader - best and fastest way to upload pics from your
camera its defs not a necessity but they cost like 3 bucks over here so it was
pretty good
Voice recorder - I know quite a few people with them fun for
sending messages to your family and recording practicing teaching and
memorizing and many other things!
I will ask Pres Senior Today about the endorsement letter
I love you all so much!
Elder Cahoon
