Hey Everyone!
Well you can count on
this being a short letter since it has only been 3-4 days since I last emailed ha-ha!
Well I'll start off with
what we did for New Years! We ended up going to look for some silk with
elephants on it but they didn't have any. So Bro. Baw a way awesome member he
took me to this cool place! He took pictures for me and sent them to me so you
can see them on dropbox. After we went and picked up the other two Elders and
we went on the hour ride to this Buddhist temple where there are monkeys ha-ha!
Man they are cool, but just so mean and you always got to watch your back.
Luckily none of us got bit or anything so that was good! There are some
pictures of me feeding the monkeys also!
As far as our
investigators go we taught Bro. Bank and had his interview on Friday. He is so confusing ha-ha! He passed everything
but the first question. So he wasn't able to
get baptized. A few of our other investigators bailed, which was way lame, but
luckily we were saved by one of the RC's in our area Sister Tooy. She brought
her two kids who are not members. So she gave us some new investigators and we
are going to try and get them baptized next week along with giving old Bank
another shot! Yesterday was a pretty awesome day though we ended up pulling off
some crazy numbers with 4 member lessons, 3 new investigators, 3 referrals, and
4 Recent Convert/Less Active lessons. We had some members just take us around to
all these LA's houses and part member families so we got some new referrals and
investigators from that, so it was way awesome!
As far as the camera
story goes. The Dad tracked down the kid and brought him to the church we
talked to him and the kid was just lying through is teeth so hard! The Dad
would ask him did you steal it? And he'd just sit there in silence for 2
minutes. We are like, are you kidding me if he didn't steal it he could answer
straight up. You could just see him shaken in his boots, but he won't admit
that he had stolen it so we can't do anything about it now, so today I'm going
to try and find a new camera! I took some money out to buy one!
Oh and just so happens
a member from Bangkok who I know came to Roi Et and he is going to leave on a
mission soon and he offered to cut me a suit because he's a tailor and it was
such a good price I just couldn't pass up because he is going on a mission so
it's my last chance! It only cost me 2500 baht which is about $80 dollars for a
customs tailored suit! Pretty sweet I chose a sort of Navy blue so if I go
transfers on the 22nd of January he said that it would be done for
me; I'm pumped ha-ha!
Sister Stoker made
some amazing Carrot Cake for us last night. American treats are good ha-ha!
Thai treats are the worst ha-ha! Anyways, love you all. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Landon J Watkins
