We went to a market last p day but it was just cheap american clothes so it was a disappointment.
Had another Family Home Evening which was fun. Families are so cool. Especially Eternal Families.
We went to Bangkok for my child's work permit. So much fun. Love bus rides. I love Bangkok. It's my home.
Thursday, after visiting with a member, we were close to another member's house and I felt prompted to visit him so we went there and caught him just before he was going to leave his house. He was in the hospital for a month and no one knew. So we gave him a priesthood blessing. He was the old Branch President from way back and he's been really sick lately. He has a way strong testimony in Jesus Christ. It's so cool to see that.
We got blessed again and we had the chance to meet with a member's son who we've been trying to meet with for a long time. He's been an investigator for a long time and isn't really free because he's gone a lot for work. He said he'd go to church Sunday and he wants to be baptized! So cool!
Saturday, we went out with the District President of Udorn and visited more members houses and did some ministering. It was way cool. He was a missionary here in Thailand back in the day. There was a ministering fireside at the end of the day too! Ministering was so inspired. Love it!
Sunday was way cool. 58 people at church. Also, there was 10 investigators at church too! It was the Branch Conference, and we met with a family that a member in the ward wanted us to teach. They're so cool! They've been searching for us for a long time. Then the member asked them to come to church, and then they met with us. So cool! They all want to be baptized also! So many Miracles!
I don't know if I have shared this before, I've done this for almost 2 years now, but I really like D&C 98:2-3
2 Waiting patiently on the Lord, for your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, and are recorded with this seal and testament—the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted.
3 Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good, and to my name's glory, saith the Lord.
I just think it's way cool. He records our prayer and seals it and will grant it to us. Just a lot of cool principles rolled into a couple of verses. Our afflictions are for our good. God hears every prayer and will grant them to us. I just love it! Still so happy to be a missionary here in Thailand, in the Best Mission in the world. I love you all and miss everyone! See you all soon!
