Hey!
This was a good last
week! Sorry this will be a shorter email because of skyping today. First I
would like to start off with telling you all Happy Mother's Day! :)
This last week was just
full of traveling and switch offs! Tuesday we were able to meet with our
new investigators John and Beam who accepted dates for baptism on the 17th
because this Sunday they will be headed down to Bangkok. They are 28
and 29 year old friends and ready. After
teaching them we got tickets for the train down to Bangkok which is a long 14
hours, but we made it to the office around 6 p.m.!
We had Missionary
Leadership Council which was actually really awesome because Elder Gong the
Asia Area President came and it was super awesome. He is such a smart guy and
just puts a cool outlook on the gospel. We also had one of the senior couples
from Nepal here too, because they have been taken out of the country temporarily
because of the earthquake.
That night we headed up
to Phitsnalok and got a couple hours of sleep on their floor. We decided to do
a double switch off with Kamphaegphet and Phitsnalok so I went to Kamphaengphet
for the day. That night took a bus back to Chiang Mai and got home at 5:30 a.
m. so I finally got an hour of sleep in my bed.
We had really only two days
to work this week; Friday and Saturday. We met with our
investigators Run and Gay who have dates to be baptized on the 24th but we are
going to try for the 17th this week also so hopefully we can get 4 baptisms
this week.
We had Asia Area
Conference on Sunday which was pretty cool and Elder Nelson spoke so
that was pretty sweet. We had a good turnout… 212 people, but there were a lot
more tourists than usual so we should have more than that next week between the
two branches!
Today we might head to the Zoo, but
we will see; it was a good week! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Landon J Watkins
