Zone conference is litt

 You might be wondering why your getting my email wednesday, well had some conference this week so our pday got moved to wednesday. Its crazy that its only been a week since pday cuz it feels like we've done so much. 

The food here is great, most meals usually cost around 100บาท sometimes more but usually less, but thats like 3$ US so were eating good. I finally got a smoothie, soooo good. 
We've been doing a lot of visits and lessons so that's been great. Don't really understand what's going on a lot of the time but i share when it's my turn, hopefully they understand something i say.
Haven't done a ton of finding yet.  Last week we did table finding for a few hours. Basically we set up a table in the park and a bunch of english cards and pamphlets and boms and give them out to ppl as they walk by.  Theyve found a few interested ppl by doing it so we'll see if we get any calls. We also had english class twice last week. For the first class i actually had to make a test to see how good everyone was. My comp is on his last transfer (I'm killing him) and he wants to go to byu hawaii so he has this byu pathways thing that starts before he finishes. So while he was doing that i had to write this test. I had to get a few ideas from google haha but it actually worked out pretty well. 
Also got my haircut this week. The barber is one of our investigators so while i got my haircut elder oldem taught him the word of wisdom haha. Best part was i didn't even realize he had done it all until after when he told me. 
Another thing, we had sports night friday night so we went and played basketball with some our investigators. We have like 5 or 6 17 year old investigators,theyre really funny. We got to meet a lot of new people too. Me and elder saunders were undefeated with our konThai teammate. It may have helped that he played for freemont in utah so he's kinda nasty and could jus hit a ton of three's in a row if we needed points. 
Sunday our 17 year old investigators came to church so that was great. We got to teach them a lesson in second hour abt the gospel of jesus christ. 
Sunday night we made french toast with the other elders at their house and then they came over and slept over at our house. The bus came at like 3am for zone conference so they slept over so we could get picked up at the same spot. 
Def not the best sleep but its alright cuz we got to stay in a zoo!!! They have like a resort typeish section of the zoo with the zebras giraffes and ostriches, and then the actual zoo is a short drive away. we had the zone conference meeting with president, his wife and the aps on monday. Then we a white elephant and a nativity. Im lame and forgot to bring a white elephant so i didnt do ir, but i def will next year. All the food we had was sooo good tho. Somone from a stake presidency or something made all of it and it was delicious, pineapple here is so good. I got to see some of my mtc district also. Ive only not seen them for a week but it lowk feels like its been a month. Oh and almost forgot but this was a double zone conference and then tuesday was the other two zones in the east mission. So i got to see all of my mtc district that went to the east. Tuesday was when the other 2 zones pulled up so i got to see elder runia again for breakfast. After breakfast we packed up and went to the zoo at 9. I haven't been too the zoo in a while but it was cooler than i thought it would be. Its been years since ive seen all.the crazy animals, and the thai zoos a lot cooler. 
Then today we jus went with a college group of 19 and 20 years olds on this lil hike. Our ward mission leader is a teacher so he hooked us up. So weird that im the same age as all of them. It was super cool tho and we got to share a quick message abt our gospel and then hand out a box of book of mormons. The hike waa like this 400 step staircase which sounds like a lot but it wasnt bad. It looked super cool tho and we had a crazy view

Funny thing
-I got freakin pooped on by a bird.  In the zoo they got this like bird atrium thing that u go in and theres a ton of exotic birds. It was super cool, there were like peacocks walking around and stuff. Way fun up until i got freakin tagged with green poop by some random bird. Def not spending a lot of time in there next time. 

Love u all, wish i had more time to write but i love hearing from everyone.
