Hey moms. I wanted to let you know i'm alive and well. I'm moving to the office in Asoke haha. President called me yesterday saying he's got a special assignment for me. Which means i'll be on the computer more. I will be doing like paperwork stuff and the online portion of the mission like weekly emails and baptisimal records, we live with the AP's idk where though, we serve in the Asoke area. We still proselyte and stuff. But yeah it's my 9 month mark today. Not much has happened this last week. 

We met new investigators the other day who live way out in the boonies. Just kidding but they live far away. They're Cambodian and the Oldest guy there just finished being a monk. What was weird is they were a referral from some member. The member was talking to some lady at the train station and the lady said that she had cancer and was gonna die soon and the member was like we have the priesthood we can heal you so she got in contact with us but either we weren't free or she wasn't free so we didn't get around to it till last Monday. we found out the lady died but the family is like chill with it, it was really weird. 

Another member invited her friend who was having troubles at home to learn with us and she talks a lot. She talked for 50 minutes straight haha. We gave her a date and she went to church. The funny thing was in third hour we were all combined and talked about Tithing. It was funny. It's usually a hard subject to talk about. especially when she's having money problems but she didn't have any questions about it when we met with her. So that was our week pretty much.

I don't feel like sending a group email out. Elder Quentin L. Cook is coming here this month. I'll call you on May 15th for Mother's Day in Thailand. I'll be in the office so it'll be fun haha. I probably have to limit it to 30-40 minutes like the handbook says but I probably won't 555. It'll be cool to see you guys. Anyways I love you lots mom and miss you!
