Hey
Everyone,
Everything is going
pretty solid here and for the most part this last week was pretty uneventful to
be honest! So this is probably going to be a shorter letter!
So I'll first update
you up on the mission and how everything is going. So for this year we made a
goal to have 2000 baptisms as a mission and now this year is coming down to the
wire. As of right now our mission is currently at 1808 baptisms with 5 Sundays
left to go, we are in need of 192 more baptisms for this year, pretty awesome
and way doable. We have gotten 142 so far this month so we can definitely maybe
even get to 200 this month that'd be way awesome! So that is what we are
working with.
This week was pretty
wild we didn't have a plan for any baptisms, but we were talking to our
investigators Nooy and Chanchai and they accepted a date to get baptized on Saturday, but the only problem is that they are never
free except on Saturday and Sundays so we were just teaching them over the phone. They
were so good and then Friday night rolls around and we are getting ready to teach them the
last little bit and prepare them for their interview the next day and then Sis
Nooy got way upset with a problem at work and wouldn't even talk to her husband
or nothing. So we were like okay we will just teach them tomorrow and we called the next morning and she was
still way upset so we had to call off the baptism which was too bad. We didn't
even think they were going to come to church, but Sunday morning they showed up and they even brought their
daughter so that was cool, they sure saved us on getting balanced key
indicators for sure we did it again; way awesome! They have a date to get
baptized this Saturday now. The only problem is all of our priesthood have a special
meeting on the 29th in another province so they will all be gone so if we can't
get them to do it on the Friday
they will have to wait until the following week, I believe.
For this week we are
going to be having a baptism for sure we have Sister Faa, she passed her
interviews yesterday and we got special permission from President Senior so she
will be getting baptized this next week! So we will have 1 for sure, but are
praying for 3!
We have some other
awesome potentials though for the following week on the 7th. I don't
remember if you remember Ti and Su they are both farmers that we found, but
dropped because they can't come to church. Well we ran into them and they started
coming to church this week so they will be getting baptized on the 7th! Our
other potentials; Nooy and Maan were supposed to come to church yesterday, but
their neighbor passed away so they had to help out with some things so
hopefully we can teach them and get them a date for the 7th of December too!

So that is our update
on our investigators! Elder Mitchell's finger is doing well; he has his bandage
off and everything now. He just doesn't quite have all the movement back in it
yet, but he is doing fine! We are still having a blast together we are just
praying somehow we could stay together another transfer because we know we will
keep doing good work together! Hope you all have a great week and have an
awesome Thanksgiving! I don't think we will be able to find turkey so some KFC
buckets of chicken will have to do ha-ha!
Love,
Elder Landon J Watkins
