Hey Guys!

Gift got baptized on Saturday that was awesome. This week was also our last MLC down in Bangkok it was way good it always is. I love learning from Pres and Sis Senior! They have so much knowledge and are always so inspiring. After as a reward for helping the mission get 218 baptisms they took us all out for dinner at this Japanese buffet it was way tasty! We did the trainings in Udon and Nong Khai and we did a switch-off up there in Nong Khai and we found them a new dater that was way solid found him at the supermarket at 3 made an appointment for 3 hours later he came liked it so much that he stayed for the Book of Mormon reading class for an hour after that! Tomorrow we will be going out to Sagon Nakon for that last time and do the training and a mini switch-off. It’s an 8 hour round trip in a non-air conditioned bus that is pretty filthy so we are kinda glad that this will be the last trip! 

Today we are going to be going and eating with Jack and then were going to go pick up the shirts and suits that we have been cutting and I will be getting a navy one cut. Way stoked for General Conference this weekend and then next P-Day we are playing Songkran!!! That is going to be crazy fun! It’s supposed to be way big here in Udon.

There was a man baptized yesterday He was Muslim. And after he was baptized he bore his testimony. It was incredible he bore powerful testimony of our Savior and what the Gospel and the Plan of Salvation meant to him and finished by explaining that it’s very dangerous for Muslims to become Christian but that he was unafraid of death and that it didn’t matter what others did to him they could not separate him from his faith in and love for the Savior! It was wow! Such incredible faith!

Love You!

Little extra note:
I happened to be online when Elder Cahoon was and shared the news about Elder Khanakham being called as an Area Authority. He wrote back to me:  That was the coolest news ever about Pres Khanakham! I'm pretty sure he's the very first Thai General Authority ever! He is so amazing! I really got to know him while I was serving in Roi-Et and he was finishing his mission with his wife, they are both so inspiring and are sooo solid in the Gospel! That is a huge step for the church here in Thailand!
