Hello everyone! This week I don't have that much time. My P-day today hasn't gone as planned haha. But yeah today was fun we left to go teach one of my recent converts grandma who lives 3 hours away and ended up leaving late because we were on khon thai time. His grandma is so cute but she has a thick western accent so it's hard to understand haha. His uncle is a director at a school and we taught some 8-10 year olds english and taught them to sing head shoulders knees and toes. I don't know why I keep teaching kids haha. It's so fun though. They have never seen white people. It's some area a little outside Bangkok. 

But this week Brother Tea and Brother BawBia got the priesthood which was so cool. Brother Bawg got the Holy Ghost at the last minute haha he came late. It's been hard getting new investigators because they keep missing the appointments or telling us they aren't free. Later on that Sunday, we went to Brother Wisud's house, the one who just baptized Bawg, and had a little intervention thing with his mom. A lot of the ward went. He's had some issues in the past with money stuff and gambling and he was apologizing to her. I didn't know what was going on. It was really interesting to see the culture.

I had Zone conference the other day and it was cool. I had to give a little talk about the miracle that happened last week with one of the less active member I was trying to get back to church (Wisud) baptizing Brother Bawg. They are changing some thing with the schedule of our day this week. There is some big broadcast Thursday so that's really exciting.

Since I don't have that much time I like to leave off with a couple of scriptures that relate to everyone in their life. I like them a lot. 

2 Nephi 28:7-9 & 2 Nephi 31:20-21. 

Love you all and miss you all!

Sorry no pictures I'll be better next week.

7 Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.

8 And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God--he will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

9 Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false and vain and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and their works shall be in the dark.

20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.
