Hey Everyone!
Well this was quite
the last week it was pretty good too for the most part!
So to start off first
thing on
Tuesday morning a member
picked us up and took us out to his farm and we prepared the land so he could
plant watermelons. We got the ground wet, dug the holes, put in fertilizer and
compost and then turned up the soil. It was some good work and a fun time! I
sent some pictures of some of water buffalos in the field and of me watering
the ground with the giant water cans ha-ha! It was a fun time. We are actually
going out again tomorrow to help him catch fish. They drain the pond of water so it's
just super muddy and then we just go around grabbing fish and throwing them in
buckets from what I understand it should be awesome and a good time so
hopefully I can get some pictures of that for ya. It was some good service. The
member we helped is 78 years old and his
health isn't the greatest so being a farmer is really hard on him so we really
lifted his burden by helping him out!
On Wednesday the AP's came up here for a switch off which was way good and
fun! The AP's right now are both Thai; the first time ever, but they are so
good! They both speak English really well. I went with Elder Thanawat who is a
really nice guy and we had a blast teaching and finding new investigator; it
was a good day.
Friday was
pretty good too! President Senior and Sister Senior came up to Roi Et and gave
a few areas in our zone a special training! They really emphasized bearing our
testimony more often about Jesus Christ because we are representatives of Jesus
Christ! Also they put a huge stress on Family History so that is why I'm asking
you guys for all the pictures and information. Now we are supposed to help every
new RC sign up for Family Search and have them start filling out the “My Family”
booklet. So I have to finish mine first before I can have anyone else to do you
theirs. So I've been working on mine really hard trying to make it good. I just
need some more pictures and filling out some memories which will be the hardest
part for me.
We also met with two
new investigators this week Ern and Aah that Elder Hill found at Big C. We also
ran into them at the park with a friend named Air who just so happens to be a
member and is studying in Russia, but is back for a week. She is the District
Presidents daughter here in Roi Et. Both of the girls are her best friend so
they are really being fellowshipped it's so awesome! We worked with them and
they came to church Sunday!
Ern is way good and will most likely be baptized this Sunday we hope, but Aah is a little stubborn and hasn’t
accepted a date, but we are working for her to be baptized this Sunday too; so pray for them!
This was a really fun
week though! Sunday we had 3 investigators in sacrament but we also had 4 other
people show late after sacrament was over. Three of them were black people from
Cameroon! I don't know how interested they were, but we had some more come who
could be pretty good, hopefully we can meet with today, at least that is the
plan! We had 108 people at church with 27 Recent Converts in Sacrament, so not
too bad! The work is progressing, but right now the rest of our zone is
struggling. We are going to Bangkok this week for Mission Leadership Council so
when we get back we will be going around training the districts in our zone and
can get them pumped up and working hard!
That’s all I've got for this week; hope you all have a good one!
Love,
Elder Landon J Watkins
