It was a great week in Bangkapi. This ward is so cool. We had a Christmas Zone conference this week which was a good reminder that it is Christmas time. We watched the best two years and played down Christmas games. We also had a training and we got phones. Today we went to a waterfall in Nakorn Sawan.
This week, We had someone walk up to us who was invited to church before and ask us about our church. We told her where and when church was and Sunday she went. She speaks English really well and has been going to Christian church for 2 years now. She has now found the truth. Very awesome. Her name is จำปูน.
In this area we take the bus a lot and taxis and Song Taews. Everything is so far away.

Something I want to share this week is from Zone Conference. Sister Johnson talked about how her favorite song is the Drummer Boy and I never really thought too much about the song until she explained it. It's when a drummer boy gets asked to go with people to see Baby Jesus and they were all bringing gifts for a king but he didn't have a gift fit for a king. All he had was his drum. When he got there he said that and asked Mary if he could play for her and she said yes and he played the best he could do. In the end Jesus was happy and smiled.
It's a way cool story. Sometimes we feel like we aren't good enough. We never measure up. If we try our best, that is enough. The way I see it is, we do all we can, and the atonement of Jesus Christ makes up for the rest. Through Jesus Christ, all thing are possible. We don't need to be the best there is, we just have to be the best we can be. Doing so will make God and Jesus Christ happy. I'm excited to share about the true meaning of Christmas to the people here in Thailand. I know this church is true and that Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Redeemed. Love and miss you all!
