I'm actually soo excited!!!! Were finishing up our last 2 weeks here, so you could say were an English District now. I'm a Pi Thai because our Nung Thai's just came into the MTC this last week. I love all the new districts that come in, but it's cool to have a new district of Thai's that are learning the language, some of them are already kind of goated at Thai but I have realized how much I've learned while being here. Def not jealous of them tho haha, they gotta go to workshops and stuff, and some of them were great but having an extra hour in the mornig is sooo niceee. I didn't have much exciting things this week, but I'll try and make it interesting.
Last sunday and monday were great. I've liked every go and do so far and last week was no different. The Sundays aren't as exciting anymore cuz we've had them a few times, but I actually love having a lot of time for personal study in the middle of the day. The best part about mondays is I gotta read everyone's emails. Shoutout to tucker, I loved the conference talk he talked about in his email and it was really cool.
Tuesday is devo day so its honestly one of the best parts of the week. We only have one class and we get to go to a Devo. Elder Budge came and spoke to us. One thing I liked that he talked about was "Don't Lament, Repent" We shouldn't focus on why were not enough, when we make mistakes we just need to repent and press forward, Jesus has already payed for it all.
Wednesday was the new arrivals day so me and my comps went and met all of the new missionaries. They seem really cool.
Thursday nothing really happened. I don't know if I can share this but spoiler Andrew isn't in my zone of new missionaries 😢 I found out that because of thanksgiving all new missionaries come in on tuesday tho so thats a plus for me☺️
Friday was also really boring. Best part was probably that we got to have a class with Sister Hendrickson again wooo. This last week we've had a lot of subs and some of them don't speak any Thai so having our teacher back was greatt.
And thennn today I got to go to the temple. We woke up early and made it over, we couldn't do baptisms, but we did confirmations and it was really nice. Also really surprising when out of no where our temple worker gets switched out and when the new one comes over, he realizes were thai missionaries and starts speaking with us. Thai was the last thing I expected to hear at the temple hahah. Apparently he works at the MTC tho and he's got really good thai.
Funny/fun stuff
-Lee was sick this week and friday he was really feeling it. They had an helping others appointment tho so I joined elder Giles, and I got to be Elder Lee. I just snatched one of his nametages, and introduced myself as him. It was super fun
-My mom sent me a pumpkin pie this week as a surprise!! Thanks mom. Problem was we had just eaten dinner and lowk our entire district was so full. Then I remembered Elder Giles and Elder have a massive mini fridge so now I've been having pumpkin pie and whipped cream everynight😋
Sorry kind of had a lamer email
I wanted to end with a poem. Ik I actually don't kinda like this one even tho I'm not a poem person.
President Monson shared it in his talk "What have I done for Someone Today" it goes
I have wept in the night for the shortness of sight
That to somebody's need made me blind;
But I never have yet, felt a tinge of regret, for being a little too kind"
Love you all
