Week 35 in Thailand. 15 June 2014

Well this week we moved out of our church building, temporarily (for 2-3 months).  We still teach people there but church services will be held in a different area's chapel.  It’s weird to go the church and see all the construction work being done.  But I know it’s definitely needed because the heat is pretty unbearable.  LOL  Most the time it’s cooler outside.  LOL.

We were definitely blessed this week, in our teaching skills, because I feel like both Book of Mormon class and English class went really good.  Right now we don't really have any investigators but I feel like we were really able to help a lot of our recent converts this week, as well as other members in the ward.  When you’re about your Heavenly Father’s work, you will always find fulfillment, joy, and success!

The biggest event of the week was Stake Conference! Living in a country with only one stake has helped me understand and appreciate the organization of Christ's Church so much more.  The members, Missionaries, and Leaders have been working really hard, using a lot of faith, praying daily for the blessings of a temple here in Thailand and yesterday we definitely saw the fruits of our labors.  The second stake in Thailand was created.  I feel the Lord preparing the people here and hastening his work.  I know as Members and missionaries increase our efforts to work together, The Saints in Thailand and all of South East Asia, will have their prayers answered.  

I love this work. I know this is Christ’s Restored Church on the earth today.  I know that Temples are where we can be closest to Our Heavenly Father and be sealed with our Families for all Eternity. I'm so grateful for them.

Love to all,

Sister Marina A. Peterson
 
 


Going to Asoke on the khlong monster...a boat that operates on Thailand’s open sewage system, or most would know it better as a RIVER.  Smells...pretty bad!  You have to hold tarps up to prevent from being sprayed on with sewer water...but it’s got an element of fun and adventure.  LOL



 
Happy Fathers Day from Bangkapi
