They like to put things in my hair :P

I hope you're counting down in your heads. Thank you for all
your emails. If in the coming weeks emails are short, I hope you'll understand.
But in all reality I'll probably have a lot to say. When do I not :P 555+
This week brought challenges. I think Heavenly Father knew
that Sister Mullen and I were completely happy and love each other and having
success that He decided to split us up. My new companion is Sister Davies.
Travis knows her. Sister Mullen is now doing amazing things up in Korat with my
other previous companion Sister Kittima. I'm way happy that the two of them are
together but it was definitely an emotional week for me. I love Sister Mullen
lots and I know she's needed up there. As for Sister Davies, she is a great
missionary so it'll be great to see what the Lord has in store for us to
do!
On a very positive note we are starting to see the strength
of the youth emerge. Yesterday we participated in a meeting with the Young Men
and Young Women's presidents for a missionary youth activity. The Laurels class
president and Priest class president have planned to have everyone meet at the
church at 7a.m. and have a missionary day. They will do personal and
companionship study and then go out proselyting with us from 10-1p.m. This
really helped strengthen my faith in the rising generation in Thailand. So many
of the youth want to be full-time missionaries and just want to help us teach
investigators all the time. It's really going to accelerate the work here in
Bangkapi.
Also, do you remember Brother Somnik? The one who had
cancer? He came to church yesterday!!!! It was a miracle. Everyone was so
welcoming towards him and very happy to see him, as much as we were of course.
Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts for him. He is going to be going
back to the hospital but his wife has told us that she will call us when he is
healthy and we will continue teaching him. This week in Mission Leadership
council we talked a lot about strengthening the youth. They will be the future
leaders of Thailand! We need to help them have a deepened conversion to the
gospel and specifically to the Book of Mormon. I love, love, love this book. We
are starting just about every activity to help members, LA, RC investigators be
engaged in the Book of Mormon and use it in their everyday life.
Also, this week I've been reading a lot in the Ensign from
the previous general conference and I love the emphasis on the Savior (an
exalted actual being) and the Book of Mormon. The words of our prophet and his
apostles are true. They truly do uplift us and guide us.
I love you all!
Always,
Sister Yeo
