How is everyone?! It’s
about time for midterms and fun holiday seasons. Speaking of which, what is
everyone going to be for Halloween? haha I think I'm going to be snow white and
a missionary. hehe I'll make sure to send you a picture. Ooo and Birthdays are
coming up!! yay! Trina eat some cake for me :O I can't believe I'm hitting my
hump day on Thursday. GROSS! I did get your letters and packages! I love this
bag!! It's perfect and thank you for the pillow case and pens! My favorite part
is “beat the Elders at everything.” haha It's true though.
Oh, quick shout out to
Jana Reedy. Hey sis I got your letter, I'll try to get back to you soon!
I'm excited for you to enter the mission! You're gonna love it!!
OH.MY.GOSH.
I loved Chiang Mai. Alma
26, can't even begin to say the smallest part of which I feel. But it was
phenomenal! I wrote about 12 pages in my journal about that 24 hours. So I
decided I'll just send you a copy of my journal. :P
I’ll just share real
quick about the lesson with Bon and Bam and their parents. So I was actually up
there for 2 and a half days and so on Monday I went out with my MTC companion,
Sister Stolworthy and we went and visited them at their house. I think Bon was
so shocked because she looked at me then looked again really confused. Trust me
I got that look the whole time I was there. She kept saying, whoa your Thai is
so good now. I just laughed because hopefully, my Thai is better than when I
was a greenie. Bam wasn't home but Bon called her and she showed up shortly
then the first thing she tells me, “whoa you got skinnier.” hahah It was all
sorts of happy feelings. I missed them so, so, so much. Best feeling in the
world being up there with them at their home and just begin able to talk and
understand each other. So then, we sat down and start to have a lesson. It was
phenomenal! We talked about prayer (the lesson was for their parents who
haven't quite opened up to learning) so in the middle of the lesson Bon shares
her testimony and experience with prayer. Oh my goodness, she is so strong. I
looked at her and started to tear up and when I was writing in my journal I was
trying to figure out how to accurately describe how it felt in that moment. The
only thing I got was, This was her 6 months ago in the “investigator” stop and
today she is a strong member of the church bringing others into the gospel,
specifically her parents; family. So I wrote something to the effect of…it was
like watching your kid grown up (not that I've had any) but I was so proud of
her and Bam and filled with tears of joy. Mom, Dad; they are so strong! I
seriously feel so blessed to know them and be part of their life.
We had a few set back
during the week because but they became blessings by the end. Most of our
daters have moved or left the area so we found ourselves with no one to teach
for a day. We jumped on some less active work and made goals to find new
investigators.
Our investigators here
in Phitsanulok are still progressing. Last night we made very detailed goals,
notes and plans how to get this branch going. I look forward to the upcoming
times.
Well sorry this wasn't
as exciting of an email but I'm excited to send you pictures and a copy of my
journal because it was an awesome week!
P.S. I'm going to Chiang
Mai on Wendesday AGAIN!! WOOO
We have specialized
training. Heavenly Father is so nice to me, I love it.
Have an awesome
week!
Love you all!
Always,
Sister Yeo
