Hey
Everyone!
Well another week down!
This coming week is the last week before transfers and we are going back to 6
week transfers instead of 9 weekers! So this should make transfers feel like
they fly by!
Well first off I’ll
start with the big news! The second stake of Thailand was created yesterday; the
North Bangkok Stake, way cool! So we had our whole Stake which was called the
Bangkok Stake, but now it is called the South Bangkok Stake. We were joined
together in Stake Conference with the North Bangkok Stake. I honestly have no
idea how many people were there, but a ton; probably close to 1000. We rented
out a massive ballroom at a hotel for it.
So many people came we had to bring in more chairs and the whole room
was so full of people that even a few had to stand; it was crazy! I got to see
all the people from Ayutthaya and all the other members I have met around. Even
Ice and Taaw from Nongkhai were there because they moved to Bangkok so I got to
meet up with 2 of my RC's!
Other big news for
this week is… guess who hit their year mark on their mission this past Thursday!?!?! Yep, I am finally over the hump, can you
believe it, it has been a little over a year since I left and it has cruised by,
but that is a good thing! Thursday
we had plans to go have a nice dinner and eat a buffet, but the Branch
President called us around 3 o clock and was like; hey you guys want to come
eat dinner at my house tonight, we were like, yeah!! Free food and the Branch
President and his wife make such good food. He is definitely the best Branch
President, also just a way fun and cool guy. This is the fourth time this
transfer he has had us over to his house for dinner which is crazy because he
usually only has the missionaries over once a transfer, but he just really
likes us I guess and keeps inviting us over. I'm sure we will be over again,
maybe this week since it is Unsworths last full week before he goes home next
week :(.
As far as
investigators go they are doing pretty good! Tik is still on track to get baptized
this week she says she wants to, but when we taught her this past week she is
like 50/50 in believing in Heavenly Father and Jesus. She believes our religion
is great and she understands it, she just hasn't quite received her answer,
yet. Ing which is Sister Muay niece who gave us a scare this week said she
didn't feel like she wanted to go to church anymore. But we have an awesome
member Brother Surad go visit her and clear everything up and sure enough
Sister Muay and her niece came to Stake Conference which was way cool! Our two
English class investigators are doing good Phing and Faa it just stinks because
they can't come to church until July because of school. So hopefully in about 2
more weeks we can get them to church; that'd be way awesome!

| Sporting their new suits... |
That is really all I
have for this week. We don't have anything planned much for today, probably
just relax Brother Keng is coming tomorrow to visit so that should be cool. My suit feels
way good when I wear it also I just feel like I got come class!
Anyways I love you all
and have a great week!
Love,
