132 days in the mission field!
Dear Everyone:
Brother Kwaan and Sister A were baptized yeserday!
I baptized them both. The prayer wasn't hard it was the names because
those aren't their real names. Their real names are Tawatchai Buathong
and Paphada Chalermgundacha. Obviously that's english spelling not thai
so it's impossible to spell right and sound out right. But it was a
great experience and super spiritual. I will send pictures next week. It
was such a spiritually uplifting experience for everyone involved.
Including our 4 baptismal daters who were in attendance. I absolutely
love missionary work. It's amazing!
Man it is hot in Thailand
goodness! Haha. I didn't realize how hot it was I just know it's HOT!
Anyways, our house has AC and some members houses have it. But most
building have generally. If not their are fans blowing and that
generally helps. It's weird I swear the fans work here better. Might
just be because I'm soo hot the fan is a blessing I don't know. Haven't
seen the robot building and things are generally pretty exciting.
Buddhist temples are interesting and there are a lot of them. It's hard
to explain the houses. All i know is that our house is too big for the
two of us... Too much to clean.
So our investigators are all doing sooo well It's great! Just wish we
had more investigators. And the members are church are doing well. We
had 65 ish people at the branch this week which is pretty solid amount
of people :) Had lots of people be able to stay to
support the baptisms as well! It's sooo fun to be here in Thailand. The
Language is also coming along very well too! It is flying by though.
Sooo crazy!!!
This week I feel I should express my gratitude for
the Book of Mormon. I've learned since I've come out just how important
the Book of Mormon is in conversion. If you can get your investigators
to read the Book of Mormon 10 minutes a day it's almost an automatic
conversion. If they read they will pray and go to church. We obviously
commit them to go to church as well and pray as well. But the Book of
Mormon has such great power in converting investigators and members! If
you read the Book of Mormon 10 minutes a day at least you should never
go astray the Book of Mormon is just soo powerful. All of our
investigators that have been baptized and that are pushing for a date
are reading the Book of Mormon everyday! The book of mormon truly is
the key to conversion and the key to the gathering of
isreal as well. I encourage everyone and their families to read the
book of mormon at least 10 minutes a day if not more and I know that
everyone will have good experiences!
Well I better get going. I
know the the Lord is helping all missionaries across the globe and that
he is definitely helping my companion and I. I'm ready for this week to
begin to start serving more people here in Thailand. I hope everyone
stays safe and has a great week! I love you all!
Love
