สบายดี. Progress.

Hi. I am still alive and well here in the tropical paradise of The Mall Bangkapi, Bangkok, Thailand. I love the city life. So many people. The rice is so ready to harvest. I couldn't imagine serving anywhere else. The Thai people are so nice compared to everyone else. A people ready to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And a temple in the not so distant future (hopefully). 

My week has been another great one. Last P Day was way fun. We went back to Chonburi and Sriracha. We went to an Island and to a Zoo. The Zoo had Rhinos. They are so ugly. 

We have a cool investigator. She's from Laos. She learns at the University by here. She has problems with waking up on time and reading the Scriptures. Like most of the youth today. 

I met a couple of taxi drivers who played classic rock and country. That is very rare here in Thailand and it happened twice in a week. I heard the song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" (I think that's the title) more this week than I have in my lifetime. 

Anyways, we are trying to find some solid Investigators by walking the streets of Bangkok and talking with everyone which has produced some interesting encounters with people. I am not from Thailand by the way. 

A miracle that happened this week is one of our Recent Convert's son talked to us when we visited his house. He said he is สบายดี. Progress. 

Today I want to share a hidden gem I just recently found in 1 John 4:14-19. It is about God's love. I ชอบมาก.​ It says: 
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.

These 6 verses are so good. God's love he has for us is explained in these scriptures. In God's perfect Plan of Happiness, there was needed someone to redeem his children of their sins. We needed a Savior. He sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to atone for the sins of all mankind and made this Plan of Happiness possible. We can all return to live with God again, and with our families for eternity, and have more happiness than we can even imagine, more than we can even explain, comprehend, more than anyone has ever thought of, because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice he made because of the love he has for each and every one of us. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, black or white, light skin or dark skin, a sinner, a Republican, a Democrat, a teacher, a lawyer, a drunk, a smoker, an addict, a scientist, a doctor, an actor, and even a Patriot's fan. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can all partake of the waters of eternal life. We can all make it into the Kingdom of God. It is all possible because of Jesus Christ. I love Jesus Christ because he first loved me. 
I love you all and miss everyone!!!
