Companion: Elder Wilson
สวัสดีครับครอบครัวที่รักของพม!
Hey I feel so bad about the emails that I have sent home the
past couple weeks so much has happened but I haven’t been able to tell you
anything yet! However I am sooo relieved that I don’t have to fill out the application
anymore! Funny story for the ecclesiastical endorsement I had to send my info
to the Assistants for them to give to President and my first thought was oh no
President is going to see my way goofy password! but elder wilson is like oh don’t
worry President spends all day with Elder Davies I’m sure he is used to it by
now not 30 seconds later Elder Davies texts back "nice password! Elder Cahoon
goes HAM!" haha so funny!
Anyways it was another way exciting week! This weekend there
were two baptisms here in Roi-Et and Bro Bo (it is so hard to Romanize his name
Bo is not anywhere close but it’s the best I can do) he baptized one of them! Bless
his heart he had to do it 3 times the first time he rushed it and messed up the
words but then the lady just went dead weight and she was kind of hefty and he
is way lean so he struggled to get her back up the second time her foot popped
up but the 3rd time was golden! Then yesterday he received the Melchizedek
priesthood! We taught him after church gave him an oil vial and helped him to
consecrate some oil! It is so cool to see him grow and progress in the gospel!
He is such a stud this week he is going to be covering for the Gospel
Principles teacher even though that is the class he is still learning in.
This week we got to go harvest rice twice! It is so much
fun! We went with the whole district on Monday and biked out 16 kilos and went
and harvested for like 2 hours we did like 2 and 1/2 acres me and Elder Thomas
made our phakhawmaa's into turbans because we gave the sisters our hats, it was
way fun! After we checked out a crocodile farm there was just this random dude
out there who raised crocs cool right! The other time Elder Wilson and I went
out with the first counselor in the district presidency he helps us all the
time and so we really wanted to help him out he is 70 and such a boss he can
still work in the fields! Their field that we went too though still had a bunch
of water like almost up to your knees and the rice was all fallen over it was
soo hard to harvest and we got stuck in the mud with like every step we took
but it was fun and that time we got sick cone rice field hats like the ones in
the movies!
We are still really working hard and praying harder for a
miracle to happen so we can get a baptism this month. I fell like this month is
the hardest I have worked on my mission, and as a result of our faith and
prayers and work we have seen so many miracles and I want to share a couple
today.
Sis Waan: We found her at the park she is mid 30's and
single but we taught for the first time and she was so prepared she wants to
get baptized and it floored her when she learned of all the Christ had done for
her. Since then she has received an answer that the Book of Mormon is true
after just one lesson! She has great faith! But also great opposition. Her aunt
has diabetes and is dying from it and she just finished harvesting like 10
acres of rice by herself and now she has had people stealing her rice from her
field.
We are continually finding very prepared people through
Bovembering we were blessed with a big night market all week which we
capitalized on the big numbers of people. We got a new dater from it last night
a man named Joe whose sincerity just floors me. I love that we just talk about
baptism and the miracle of forgiveness. These people need it so bad and when we
find those who want they are so prepared.
We also had a wonderful experience with a former who fell
through the cracks I called her and asked if we could continue to help her
prepare to be baptized she said yes and I asked if she still wanted to be
baptized and she said yes very much! We saw her the next day and I have never
met a more prepared woman. She had had so many experiences that have brought
her to this point and the coolest part is that she recognizes that all those
things have been preparing her for this moment.
That’s so crazy that Braeden
and Esther got married! Esther is beautiful and Braeden is such a stud!! Thanks
for getting the gift that’s way classy! Mikaela is going to the MTC next week!!
aaahhhhh!!! Try to look up and find the talk the Fourth Missionary if you can
print it out study it and do it! I did that this week and it has helped me
change so much! Sounds like a sweet weekend in Raymond that’s so cool that you
girls can do that now! Teddy YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!! atata girl I’m so proud of you I
threw out a cheer and some fist pumps and scared the khon thai next to me haha
I love you guys so much!!!
Love
Elder Cahoon
