🔥สลับคู่🔥

 Whats uppp,

This week has been crazy. We've been super busy which has been great but also a lil crazy.
Biggest news, BAPTISM
This last Sunday an Investigator that the AP's were teaching last transfer got baptized. She was already taught everything and we've just visited her while she was sick and waiting until she feels better. This last week she felt good enough to be able to be baptized wooooo.
And then to summarize this week, the beginning of the week found out that this transfer will actually be longer than the next transfer, so this transfer will be 7 weeks and then the next transfer will be 5 weeks because of the holiday in April so that will be super fun. Also a little long though. So we'll see how that goes..
This week was filled with meetings with our new members. Our new members are members that are baptized in the last year. We had a lot of appointments with new members this last week and a lot of thsm came to church.
Funniest thing this week was our companion exchange. We switched calm's Friday and I got a switch with our DL elder pentilla. He's amazing. We went over there Thursday night and then stayed Friday. Did our studies in the morning and then we split off for the day? We talked up bunch of lessons. So I gotta see a lot of other members and investigators. We taught 3 different lessons and then we went to a place for lunch where one of their investigators is at and we gotta talk to them, so that's great, and then we gotta end off a sports night, which was so fun.  Basically, they have a freaking full on basketball court. It's so nice. It's just and they don't have a ton of people, but they have more than we get on sports night so it was super fun and they got a bunch of little kids that showed app and then we just got a ball. I got to ball with these Chinese kids. They're like 18, so they're not like kids. But they've lived intirely in their whole life. But they only speak Chinese and english and one there english is better then the other but his english was so good. It was a little bit easier like talking with someone from America. So that was fun, especially so yeah, we just gotta play basketball with them they're really good and yeah, that was so fun. Exchanges are the best.
Luckily, this is the first sports night that our ward has had in months because I wanted to try and start doing it and we were able to have enough people to do 3 on 3 basketball and a few other people showed up too. So we'll see if we can get this. Many people every week I hope that we can because I'd love to keep doing it, but it'll be hard but I'd love to have a lot of people at sports.

Last thing, I talked last week about the crazy amount of yellow dots we have but its actually insane. This last week we've had an english post that we made on our English Class Page and ws've gotten a ton if people that contacted us and are interested in learning so hopefully english class will be popping.

I love you all and I hope your all doing amazing

97!!!!!

 Sawadikrap everyone,

This weeks been a fire, we have a ton of contacts and refferals so we've just been trying to contact as many of them as we can and still keep meeting with our current investigators.
To explain the 97 number. We have 97 yellow dots, which means people that are interested in learning but haven't necessarily progressed. We haven't given them any commitments. But either they reached out in Facebook through our ADS. And they're interested in learning or we met them in person and have them down as a dot and since we got all the AP dots we have a ton. Basically, we already had a ton of referrals before and then this.  Past week, we had 1 day where we got 8 referrals in 1 day from Facebook. And then the next day we got 3 and then the next weekend we got 6 referrals on 1 day and then 6 on the next day and then we still had a bunch of dots from before, so now we're just at 97 yellow dots plus like 7 referrals to call still so yeah. We have a ton of work.
Cool thing that happened last week. .Last P Day we wanted to play basketball so we went and found this basketball court Over by these apartments where a lot of people play and we played with this African guy. He's from Africa can't speak Thai. Just speak english, but he's Christian and he's super nice and willing to come to english class wants to come to our church. So he came up the next day. Came to english class. We gave him a book of mormon. He has another church that he goes to that. He has commitments at but were hoping one of these next Sundays he'll be able to show up. He's super great and it was super fun. Because we found a fire basketball to play at. Soo yea pretty sick.

This marks my third Sunday in Bangkok, which is also crazy. We just heard that our transfers are gonna be shorter. This transfer because of the holiday here where they go crazy so we have already At half way through transfers already basically, which is so crazy. So hopefully we can get us some good work and before end of transfers, which we're already halfway through transfers. Itll lowk be rough next transfer though because our next transfer is gonna be 7 weeks.
Overall,
Bangkok is pretttyy sick. The wards great and the members are super nice. Hopefully I'll know how to get around a lil better by end of transfer because i still got no idea how all the buses and everything work.

Spiritual thought🔥🔥🔥

Scripture I liked this week was
Mormon 9:31
31 Condemn me not because of mine imperfection, neither my father, because of his imperfection, neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.
Definitely feel a lil bit like mormon in the mission field. Basically saying not to condemn them for not being perfect and hopefully since we can see their mistakes we'll be able to learn. I'm definitely not perfect so hopefully at least everyone will be able to learn from my mistakes and be more wise than I have been.

Love you all, hope you have the bestest week

First week: Zone Conference

 Woooo fire week

Started off the week, strong with zone conference pretty fun. Gotta play a decent amount of basketball and Then we also gotta watch a movie. So that was cool. It was about 1/2 of Cars.
Beginning of the week started out great. I've just been meeting a lot of people. So we've been busy when going around meeting. New members and investigators super chill trying to remember everyone's name. That's kind of hard but overall super great got tons of work. We had english class Tuesday night and we had a pretty good turn out. We had about 5 or 4 people show up so has great super. Nice english classes fun.
And then yeah, it was already his own conference. So that was crazy, but basically Thursday was our P Day and for p. Day I already said we played basketball and watched a movie. And then after 6 o'clock, we did a finding activity. And we did splits with other companions. And I got the zone meter. So this is 2 in a row so far. We'll see how long I'd keep the streak. But I got paired with Elder Hellewell. It went great though he already had set plan. So we went on a song tail immediately. Starting talking with this person that was interested in learning with us like elder Hellewell, just asked them. Oh, are you interested in learning about Jesus Christ like I can't even remember how we started the conversation and they responded like. Yes, I am and I was like what no one says that here. So that was cool. Apparently their girlfriend is Christian too. Sounds like they might be able to teach them. That would be super cool. And then we're walking down this neighborhood to go meet with another one of our friends and this guy starts talking with us and you're so interested like you know what we're doing and everything invites us in his house. So it's not what I'm talking about, Alice. Search someone's battle, you know how I want to learn english and stuff. You're a decent english and then he shows us his guns. I saw guns for the first time in Thailand it was crazy. He just wipped out. He's got this gun at his house and then he's like. Oh, at my other house. I got like 3 more.  And they start showing us his fishing textures and stuff. He's crazy but super cool super. Nice want to get dinner with the elders again or somethin.  so zone leaders will probably got to do that sometime, but the finding activity was great  P.S. guns are like super hard to have in Thailand so the fact that he has guns legally is like crazy.

But yeah, that's the most exciting stuff from my week. Shout out to Banana. He's a Thai member That I met in sakon nakhon but he's moved to Bangkok. So I just see him here now too. But he got his mission call this last week and he's going to Africa that Africa Duran mission and apparently he's the first thai person to get called to Africa. So not a 100% sure if that's true but super sick.
Today was our pday super fun. I gotta have this ramen for lunch. Oh my gosh, it is the best ramen I've ever had. It was so good. We are definitely going back there again. And then we went and did some basketball finding later at night. So successful, we met this guy. That's absolutely great. He's here teaching english. He's from Uganda, he's Christian, so hopefully we'll get to see him a lot this week. But he seems amazing super nice and yeah, that's basically my week.

Hope everyone had a great week. Sorry, this email is kind of boring. I'm doing this super late and I'm voice recording it. So, if there's any grammar mistakes, it is because of the stupid voicing, not because of me.


Funny thing that happened this week. Actually not funny at all, but my stupid phone was trying to unlock itself in my pocket like 25 freaking times or something. So it's factory reset an. Di lost a ton of stuff honestly. I'm actually not that much. Because my mission account saved a lot of stuff. But super annoying, and that happened yesterday, so yeah.Funny thing that happened this week.
