Thanksgiving Week, 59 in Thai 11/30/14


This was a week of eating good food and sharing the gospel.  LOL  There was a big market/festival this week in my area, filled with good food and tons of people.  So we did a lot of inviting and eating.  LOL  But we saw a lot of success in inviting and even got a new investigator from it!
 
Wednesday:  We went on a switch off so I went to Roi Et and got to spend some time with Sister Ong.  She has been out for six weeks.  I had a lot of fun just teaching so many people and I was so impressed with sister Ong.  She is a great missionary and is so good at Thai.  I love sharing about the commandments.

Sunday was probably the best day of the week...as always.  Nanne, our investigator got baptized this week, which was so awesome.  She was such a miracle.  We met her contacting a few weeks ago and over the past few weeks we’ve been able to see her faith grown and it was awesome.  It was about when we'd finished teaching her all the lessons and she had a desire to be baptized, that we talked about the youth programs of the church including primary.  She told us that she had actually come to primary at our church for two years when she was 8 to 10.  And it just hit me that God has been preparing her, looking after her for years.  How miraculous this day was for Him to see a daughter of God receive the gift of Baptism.  I love this gospel and this opportunity to share it with so many people!

We finished off Sunday in Roi Et.  The Stokers (Senior Missionary couple) invited our zone over for Thanksgiving Dinner.  IT was so perfect!  Smelled like home.  Had fun with my mission family and got to take a moment to be grateful for the scriptures and how much help and blessings I've received from them.  Never take them for granted.  So many people have sacrificed that we may know to what source we can look for a remission of our sins.

Love Sister Marina A. Peterson
