Hey everyone, it has been brought to my attention that I haven't wrote an email in a long time. I did not realize it had been long but I guess that's what happens when your lost in the work. I'm still in Nakhon Phanom though, the work is great and it's just such a blessed place to be.
I'll try and give some details from this last month.
Firrrrrssstt, I'll start of with TRANSFERS. Yea soo, elder hiltscher moved to Khumpawapi. That was pretty surprising.I stayed in Nakhon Phanom and my new comp is Elder Gao. He's 1 transfer below me so it has been absolutely blessed. We've been working hard and we're gonna have a great transfer. He is from Canada but he's chinese and he speaks really good chinese. Basically I'm going to be an expert in Chinese by the end of this transfer.
Beginning of this transfer started off amazing with the Baptism of Golf. He is an investigator we have been teaching since a lil before I came to Nakhon Phanom. He is a great guy who just really understands the doctrine we've shared with him. He has a super nice wife they're planning to have a family in the near future. He's 28 years old and has a phone fix shop. It's been super convient for us to basically stop by and teach a lil bit every other day. He has been working to overcome coffee this past month and after going a month without coffee he felt ready to enter the wates.
Bing Bonp has also been a amazing miracle. He's been learning with the elders since I got here too. As we've continued teaching we've seen his testimony grow and he has seen some amazing small miracles in his life. He's the life of our Game's Night as well as he always shows up to Friday Nights Games Night with a Pluthera of Games to play together. He was baptized just this last Sunday. Both of his sisters have been baptized in the past year and he was the last of his siblings.
Another cool thing, Last week we had zone conference and we were lucky to have it in Nakhon Phanom. Zone Pday was a lil more scuffed than normal but we were able to end off the day with a baptim of Nong Ai and President Kanyaphan was the person who baptized her. This was followed up by a finding activity which basically means our whole zone switched comps and from 6--9 went out finding. We're hoping to get a decent amount of dots from their efforts 😁
Last thing of this week is I get the chance to do exchanges with Elder Runia to extend my Visa. Yayyy 12 hour bus ride to Bangkok. It's pretty fun tho, and I got the chance to do a little bit of finding in Mukdahan when I was there too. Elder Gao is exchanging with Elder Borden untiil we get done with Visa work. For anyone who doesn't know Mukdahan is an area we just opened 2 weeks ago so it's pretty fun to do a lil bit of finding there.
Maybe final thing was the Stennets were here this last sunday because of being here for zone conference aready. We got to do some visits with them which is always an amazing opportunity.Randomly during one of our visits we also got to see a elephant randomly so that was pretty wild. We got to visit this investigator named Yada who is actually a goat but is struggling with some family factors if she is baptized.
Please Keep Her In you Prayers this week
Oh and last thing, forgot to say we got to meet one of the people who ran for like Prime Minister of Thailand or something like that.
