Hey, how's it going?
This was a pretty good
last week! Tuesday night we headed down to Bangkok for Missionary
Leadership Council where all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders come
together and meet with President Senior. It was pretty good and he gave our
mission more directions in working with families and it was a good motivation
and energy booster for all of us. The food was amazing as usual. They had a
pancake breakfast for us with Buttermilk syrup and fruit which was way good.
For lunch, Sister Senior made us homemade tacos with chips and salsa wow it was
incredible. I haven't had anything like that in such a long time. It reminded
me of having tacos with Grandma Berlin. We made it home at 2 in the morning and
were able to get a little bit of sleep in our own beds.
This week has been a
little rough, but I've been able to keep fighting through it. I've been sick
since last Monday and now I've lost my voice, so inviting has been a little
hard, but I've managed to squeak a few words out and find some people. We have
two really awesome investigators right now and they are both going to be baptized
on the 29th; Bay and Na. Bay was going to get baptized this week,
but she ended up having to go to Bangkok for work and since this coming
Sunday is District Conference we won't be having a baptismal service.
Also, we have Na; who has been to church 3 times and accepted a date yesterday
for the 29th. What makes them awesome is that they are both
families! They are both Mom's and have about a 6 year old daughter and they
already invited us to begin teaching their husbands! It's way awesome. We also
received a referral this week and she is a single Mom; named Juk and her
husband has just recently passed away and she has two sons 14 and 12 years old.
She invited us over to her house to begin teaching her family I'm so excited to
be working with these families. Anyways, the families are coming in!
Zone Conference should be
great this week. I am super excited for it and we've have everything mostly
planned, booked, and ready to go! On Thursday we spent most of our
day arranging meals, etc. for Zone
Conference and finding 17 hotel rooms for all the missionaries to stay in and
all the good stuff!
Friday I did a
switch off with Elder Davis who is Elder Mitchell’s MTC companion so that was a
fun day.
Sunday the only
person we had at church was Na, but she was awesome. We had 101 people at
church this week which was kind of low, but what can you do! District
Conference is here next week so that should be fun and exciting!
Sorry not too much for
you this week!
Love,
Elder Landon J Watkins
