Hello everybody! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My district celebrated by going out for pizza at lunch which
is sad in comparison to the traditional feast, but this has by far been the
best Thanksgiving Holiday of my life! Our branch had a Thanksgiving party
on Wednesday. My companion and I made a Pumpkin
Pie and we had two investigators come which was so awesome!
I would definitely say the crowning moment was on Thursday
when our investigator Daa bore her testimony about Heavenly Father answering
her prayers during our lesson. She is so
amazing and prepared for this gospel. The
more Sister Mullen and I teach her the more I realize that the Lord prepare
people to receive his gospel and that as missionaries, we are basically just
traffic directors showing people where they can find it.
So at our training meeting in Chang Mai last week really
focused on the Book of Mormon and how it’s the keystone of our religion, jing
jing (literally). As my companion and I
have been helping our investigators start reading and understanding the Book of
Mormon and how it can bless their lives, I've seen their testimonies blossom. Which brings me to the most exciting news of
the week, we had three investigators at church yesterday! My companion and I have been praying for a
family to teach for a while and a couple weeks ago we began teaching Sister
Guung and her family and yesterday they came to church for the first time! They are such a sweet family! They live really far away its like a forty
five minute bike ride but I always really look forward to teaching them!
As we've focused on the Book of Mormon with their family I've realized
how important this book is to the world and how important it is in my own life.
The Book of Mormon teaches me daily and every time I read it,
I learn so much about everything but especially how much my Father in Heaven
loves me. As I read the Book of Mormon
in Thai, I obviously understand less of what its saying but I understand more
and more the power that comes from studying from it. The last big change
in my life this week was receiving our missionary reflector vests. J At first glance I may have not been excited to
wear them but I now realize they are actually really cool, safe, and get people
to notice us when we ride our bikes! So, Mom and Dad, you don't have to
worry about me biking anymore. J
Well Everyone, have a great week and I Love and miss you
all!
