Companion: Elder Terry
March 30, 2014
Hey Family!
Guess What?! This month we had 212 baptisms! It was a record
for all of the missions in the entire Asia area! (Japan and Korea are the North
Asia Area and the Philippines is their own thing too) In the past 3 months we
have baptized as many people as we did in the entire year of 2012, my first
year in Thailand!
We had 2 baptisms yesterday, which was awesome, but so
disappointing because it was supposed to be 5. One brother passed his
interviews and got work off so he could be baptized and keep the Sabbath day
but then didn’t show up and we couldn't get a hold of him all day. Another we
taught him almost everything on Saturday and committed him to pray to know if
it was true and repent. He came to church passed his interview during Sunday
School and then left to go vote and then never came back. The third passed her
interview on Saturday but had to do her last shift of work made it to sacrament
meeting and then had to go back to finish her shift and then work made her go
overtime! The two that got baptized went and voted in the morning and then came
back from out of town to get to church on time then during Sunday school we
taught them for only the 3rd time and finished all the lessons they both passed
their interviews and were baptized just 8 days after meeting us on the street
in front of 7-11! MIRACLESS! Definitely the craziest day of my entire mission I
wanted to cry and rip my hair out and jump for joy all at the same time I didn’t
even know what to think! We will get those other 3 this week plus another lady
who we have been teaching for 2 weeks and she finally came to church she is way
solid and finally got work off! I don’t remember if I told you or not but me
and Elder Terry have a goal to baptize 14 more people before we go home which
will put me at 30 converts in Udon and him at 40 converts on his mission! We
pray for it in every single prayer it’s going to happen for sure!
More about Elder Terry I have not laughed this hard my
entire mission! We have been crying multiple times we were laughing so hard.
One time it was in front of 7-11 and the khon thais were so confused hahaha
Lately we have been talking in east indian accents and making up songs about
Elder Burke the greenie just like while we are on bikes and stuff its
hilarious! We have to find some ways of laughing otherwise we would just cry and
be way stressed out!
I am cutting a black suit right now its gonna be sick and it
was really inexpensive I bought the fabric and swung a deal with the tailor and
so total it’s like 2400 baht like 80 bucks I think I might get another one! As
far as other clothes I think it will honestly be just as good shopping at Ross
or TJ anything here that is good is the exact same price! That and I don’t know
what the fashions are like anymore haha
It is so hot here we invite like all afternoon we are
getting pretty dark! We had one day we went for like 8 hours! It’s the stuff of
legends we are having a lot of fun with it and it really is working you just
gotta stick it!
On Saturday night we remembered that the font was broken and
the water was still there from the week before so us and a bunch of the members
did a bucket brigade to get it all out! It was way funny!
Love
Elder Cahoon
