Greenie days are over

 Whatss up,

Been like a week and a half now since I've had P-day. This has been a crazy last week.

For everyone who just reads my first paragraph. 

Transfer News, I'm MOVING. We got our transfer board this last tuesday and I'm heading to Bangkok, Bangkapi. Its about Bangkok as you can get so I'm going from the outskirts of Thailand right back to heart. 

I'll run through the last week leading up to transfers right now.

Sooo last Tuesday i had to head to Bangkok for my visa work. Basically its what i have to do to extend my visa for a year. Luckily i didn't get deported, wooooo. It was great tho cuz i got to see all the east missionaries from the MTC and basically just sit around for a few hours and talk. It was fire too cuz we figured we'd all most likely be back for transfers so we get to see each other this week. Only sucky part was heading back. We left sakon nakhon tuesday night at 6 p.m. to arrive in Bangkok at 4 a.m. Then we left 10 p.m. wednesday night to get to Sakon nakhon at like 6-6:30 in the morning, ready to start the day hahah. It honestly made like the week feel like a time skip tho cuz we missed english class, missed all of wednesday and then thursday and fridays already the end of the week.

Sunday was great thoo. We've been telling everyone how it will prolly be my last Sunday so 3 of our friends from English class came. I still dont think they're super interested in the gospel but they came to church 🥰

Sunday night was our last dinner at sister จิน's. She has us over for dinner like every Sunday and its always Firree.

Then we had sunday Devo, elder Watts and sister Watts gave theyre departing devotionals. And then, BOOM, president and sister ganyaphan drop the bombshell that we will be going directly to our areas if were moving. Our transfer meeting will be held in zoom and only the fresh greenies and trainers will go through the temple. 😭😭

Super sad cuz I won't get to meet up with all the other missionaries. They won't us to keep momentum tho so we'll see how it goes.  Then Monday sister ตุน took us to pizza company. The pizza was so good. Only problem was it was a lil too good haha. I may have eaten a lil too much and totally threw up my last 2 or 3 slices back on to the plate. 

Don't even worry tho, I just ate some ice cream and i felt a lot better. 

Tuesday was the awaited day. We had in person district council. 

My guesses for what was gonna happen:

Elder Gibson would leave Nong Kai and Elder Lowry would stay. 

Elder Saunders would leave Sakon Nakhon and Elder Tupou would stay. 

I would leave and Elder Tamayao would leave. 

Only one i got right was myself hahah. Elder Gibsons staying in Nongkai, staying as DL, and training a fresh greenie. Keep in mind he's only two transfers ahead of me and this is transfer 4 in Nong Kai. Elder Lowry got moved to Khon Kaen. Thennnnn Elder Saunders and Elder Tupou both stayed. To be honest this was the last thing i thought was gonna happen and i def didnt think id be the only one leaving Sakon Nakhon. 

Basically what i learned, 

Nothing is guaranteed at transfers and theres no way u can guess whats gonna happen.

Sakon Nakhon has been such a nice place to start as a missionary. I hear about how my sister had to start with like 5 people in her ward and I'm so glad I had a bunch members and friends help me get used to Thailand. The Sakon Nakhon branch has been so kind to me and hopefully i'll get to come back at some point. I've been so lucky to have a bunch of great members and dope investigstors 😘

Spiritual Thought

1 Nephi 3

5 And now, behold thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thing which I have required of them; but behold I have not required it of them, but it is a commandment of the Lord. 

6 Therefore go, my son, and thou shalt be favored of the Lord, because thou hast not murmured.

Lowk mission kinda hard. Surprise, surprise i know. It does have its challenges but I know like this scripture says we'll be favored of the lord when we dont complain. I feel like my Dad and this one but Positive Mindsets are a thing and totally help a ton. 

Thats why I'm positively sure im gonna be absolutely lost in Bangkok hahah. Fkr real tho, i really like this scripture and even if we struggle to have a good attitude, when we press forwars with faith the lord will bless us.

Alirght thatss all i got. Love u all, thank you everyone who sends emails. You know who u are, even if i dont (jkjk I read all the emails and im so grateful, i try and respond to everyone).
