I’m home! Here’s a quick update of my last few days in
country.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So Monday was my last day in Chiang Mai and we were able to
email for the last time, as well as visit and teach a few investigators and
members. We spent some time with Sister Anne and Sister Mew. They are so
amazing and Sister Anne will be baptized this coming Sunday! That same evening
our whole district and a few of the members went out to eat and then we hit the
road to Bangkok.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
On Tuesday we had our interviews with President Senior. I am just so grateful to have had the amazing opportunity to serve
under President and Sister Senior. They are truly inspired and understand what
Heavenly Father wants for Thailand at this time.They love the missionaries and
the Thai people so much and they serve not only tirelessly, but with energy and
enthusiasm. They have been such an important influence in my life and I am so
thankful for the example they have been to me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Wednesday we got a P-day, so we went to the Grand Palace!
It is located in Thonburi by the Chao Praya River and is so beautiful! Then we headed back to the Office to take the new missionaries
inviting. I got to go with Sister Morgan and she did so well! She is not afraid
to speak to people and even got two phone numbers! I think this is an awesome
new group of missionaries coming in.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thursday was transfers. It was wonderful to meet all my
amazing missionary friends, but also sad because it was the last time.
But, as usual, there was a lot of energy and excitement and happiness! Some big
news from transfers: Mahasarakham is open for sisters!! In fact, only for
sisters. They moved the elders to Galasin and put in two sister companionships!
Sister Peterson and Sister Smith, as well as Sister Sawangwong and her
companion. I am so excited!! Can’t wait to hear about what happens in Sarakham!
Also P-loog is now open for sisters again! After transfer meeting we had a
little meeting with the Seppi’s to help us with finding jobs, etc… and then we
went to the office to organize some of our stuff. In the evening we had dinner
with the Seniors at a delicious Thai restaurant. It was amazing to just relax
and chat with our group and the Seniors. After that we went to the Senior’s
house to have a testimony meeting and Tim-Tam slam one last time. It was a
really special evening. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next morning we left the office around 4:00am to head to
the airport. President Senior, Elder Meeker, the AP’s and the Office Elders
took us. At the airport there was quite a large group of members from Bangkok to
send us off, including many from Bangkapi! It was amazing to see these people
that I love so much one last time! Brother Somkiat, Sister Boat, Sister Fon,
Sister Janti, Brother Pae, Sister Eye, Sister Jane, Sister James, Sister
Gratay, and many others were there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our flight went from BKK to Tokyo, then to Seattle, and then
home. I think taking off out of Bangkok was probably the hardest thing I have ever
done as a missionary. I could not stop crying and as I looked around the
missionaries on the plane were doing the same. We love Thailand and being
missionaries so much. It’s really hard to say goodbye to it all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, Friday afternoon was so joyful as I got to meet
with my amazing family and friends again at the airport! I have missed them all
so much! I got released just about an hour or so later and that was probably
the second hardest thing I’ve ever done on my mission.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Now I am home again with my family and am so full of
gratitude for the time I spent as a missionary in Thailand. I gained more from
that experience than I can even explain and it is something that will guide the
rest of my life. I love my mission so much and I love Thailand! If you are able, serve a mission. It will completely change your life.</div>

going to spend a lot of time on the plane writing down my thoughts. I’ve been
slowly doing that, but I want to have it all in one place in my journal. Oh, I talked to other people in

Also, Sister Narayanan got accepted to BYU!!! So we'll be rooming together!!
Soooooo excited!</span></div>

a great week! We had a lot of great experiences with investigators this week
that were meaningful.</span></div>

all Brother Md. and Sister A. did not end up getting baptized this
week. Both had an unexpected concern with the Word of Wisdom which came
up in their interviews. Our district leader, Elder Klein, did an amazing job at
discussing their concerns and helping them understand how to apply repentance
and be on course and totally ready to be baptized next week. They both came
out of their interviews uplifted and encouraged. I'm so grateful for Elder
Klein and the time and care he took to help these two. I think it will only
increase their testimonies of repentance and they will be so solid! Can't
wait to hear about their baptisms next week! It has been such a blessing for me
to teach these two amazing people and learn from their examples.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week
Sister M. met with us a few times. She has lots of really great
questions and loves to not only keep commitments, but go the extra mile to
study things out for herself. She is from a town about an hour away, but lives
here by herself. In Thailand parents will send their kids away to better
schools in different towns when they're in high school. It's not too uncommon.
Anyway, her mom was in town to visit on Saturday so she brought her to the
church. We were so excited to meet her. She is adorable. So, we gave her Mom a church tour and just explained a little bit about our
church, what we do, what we believe, etc... At the end, she started crying
because she was so happy that her daughter was going to a safe place with good
friends. She really felt the Spirit and peace that's in the church and she knew
that her daughter was being taken care of. It was a really special experience.
Sister M. is going to be baptized on the 9th of November!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week we
also got to meet with Brother Oat! He has not come to church in a long time
because he picked up a job on Sunday. His phone is off a lot of the time, so
he's hard to contact. On Saturday he randomly called us, asking if he could
come meet us! Yes! He's really got this amazing faith in God and in Christ. It
was so uplifting to hear it. I just wish he would try a lot harder to come to
church. Praying for him! So happy I got to see him once more before we leave.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, Brother
Suthep is doing so well! He has this uncontainable testimony that he just has
to share with us, whether over the phone or in person! I really loved one thing
he shared: he said that he has a lot of friends at work that try to tempt him
to do things against the commandments. Whenever this happens he told us that he
just gets up, excuses himself, and goes outside to get away from them. He runs
from sin! I love it so much! Such a great example!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Yesterday was a
wonderful day at church! We had many new investigators come, including a man
that had learned with the missionaries 7+ years ago. He was so happy to be back
at church! We invited him off the street and he came! Lots of miracles! It was
also a little sad to start saying my goodbyes. However, we were so busy that I
wasn't too focused on that. That's one thing, you're working like crazy until
the day you leave, so that was a blessing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Later in the
evening we had district dinner. The Elders cooked spaghetti, and then we all
brought our musical instruments, including my guitar, a ukelele, and a drum,
and made some music. haha Afterwards the district all gave some nice parting
words to me. I just love this district so much. It has been really extra
special working with everybody here. The Elders and Sister Ference are so
dedicated and hardworking and full of love for this work. They have been the
most amazing examples to me and have helped me end my mission on such a high
note! I love every single one of them so much and am really going to miss them.
They really feel like family. The missionaries in this mission are simply
outstanding and I feel so privileged to work with them! I am going to miss Sister
Ference so much!! Luckily, she will be home in about a month! She has been
such a good, good friend and so full of love and support and patience. She's going to do awesome things in the meantime.</span></div>

believe that this is the last email. There's so much that I just can't wait to
tell you when I get home! You can't capture everything in an email, but I want
to just share a few of the many things I've learned over the course of my mission.</span></div>

I <i>know</i> that God is real and that he prepares people to receive the
Gospel. He works miracles! I have seen this time and time again to the point
that I have no room for doubt. It's been absolutely incredible to meet random
people on the street that are completely ready, and longing to change their
lives to follow Jesus Christ, despite cultural, family, and tradition
opposition. They are amazing examples to me.</span></div>

Jesus Christ is our Savior. I've come to understand the importance of His
Atonement more clearly than ever before as I've tried to overcome weaknesses
and become a better person. I understand better how important personal
progression is in this life. That's why we're here! To be happy and to progress
so that we can be ready to enter God's presence after we die. It can only
happen through the Atonement and I understand that much better than I ever did
before.</span></div>

how to apply the Gospel principles in my life much better, as well! I love this
Gospel so much and I know that by following Christ's teachings and keeping
God's commandments we are truly happy. I understand how importance daily
repentance is. No one is perfect, and although we may not commit big sins, we
do make small errors every day. Repentance is not just for sinners, but
it's for everyone! We all have weaknesses in our personalities that need to be
improved and strengthened. We also are all at different stages. Through the
Atonement and repentance those necessary changes are made. I know that's true!!
I've seen it work in investigators as well as myself! </span></div>

all so much! I can't believe we're going to be together in a week and a
half. It is the most bittersweet thing I have ever experienced. We've been so
busy lately with travel, training, investigators, conferences, etc... I haven't
had much time to think about the next few weeks. I miss you all so much. I know
it's time to be back with my family and friends and move on in life, but I just
love Thailand and my mission so much and it's going to be so sad and so happy
to say goodbye to the amazing people and work that I love, but then so joyful
to see the people I love the most!</span></div>

great week!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last P-day we
went to the top of this mountain. Beautiful view overlooking strawberry and tea
fields. Way in the hill tribes. It was a bit of a foggy day so it's kind of
hard to see how beautiful it was from my pictures. Such a fun experience!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Wednesday we
went on a switch-off. Sister Ference went to Lampang with Sister Pavadee and I
stayed here in Chiang Mai with Sister Maughan. It was a really great day. We
had so many lessons and got in some good inviting. Sister Maughan is so
awesome. She has an amazing testimony and it was so nice to be able to spend
some time with her and get to know her even better. It was definitely a boost
for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Thursday and
Friday we had mission tour! It was pretty crazy getting prepared for it, but so
fun. The zone leaders took care of the catering for it, so they did the real
work. We just did little errands for them. So, for this mission tour, we were
so blessed to have President and Sister Gong (of the Southeast Asia area) come
to speak and teach and instruct along with President and Sister Senior.
However, Thursday night we really got a bonus. The Church Historian, his
assistant historian, and another historian came to speak to us (Brother Snow,
Brother Turley, and Brother Neilson). They're here recording a bit of the
church history in Thailand and Burma. So, they stopped by to give us a really
awesome fireside. They had a powerpoint of some of the displays of church
history items that are now housed on the first floor of the Church History
Building. They talked about the items and gave us some inspiring messages. I'm
way excited to go check out this exhibit when I get back to Utah. It's
permanent so it should be there for a few years at least.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The next
morning we had a special meeting with President Gong for district leaders, the
zone leaders, and sister training leaders. It was really neat to be able to
report to him about our zone and get some counsel. Seriously, how often do you
get to meet with a member of the first quorum of the seventy and report on your
work and your mission. Absolutely amazing! Pres. Gong also knew all our names
by the time the mission tour was over. Such a special experience for me! And
everyone! Anyway, after the meeting we had the main mission tour conference. We
had wonderful messages from Pres. and Sister Gong about applying the Gospel to
change our lives and our investigators' lives, as well as the doctrine of
families, stakes, and temples. It was so good! Pres. and Sis. Senior talked
about the Restoration and then gave an amazing message about the Atonement.
They explained it so clearly and I really felt the Spirit and understood the
Atonement better than I ever have before. That was such a needed experience for
me. So grateful for Pres. and Sis. Senior's sensitivity to the Spirit and our
needs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">At the end,
Elder Clarke and I gave our testimonies since we're the ones heading home this
transfer. It was not the most smooth thing I have ever given... kinda all over
the place. Oh well! haha Anyway, this was such an amazing mission tour!
Afterwards we had a brief meeting with just the sisters and Sister Gong and
Sister Senior. Sis. Gong had us all write our own "psalms." It was a
really neat exercise. I'll share it with you when I get back!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, that was a
huge spiritual boost! AMAZING!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now I want to
tell you about a few investigators that are doing so well!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">First is
Brother Manid. He's out of town for a wedding, but he is on track to be
baptized this weekend! He threw away his monk necklace (people wear monk
necklaces as a way to show their faith in Buddhism), and he is faithfully
praying, reading his scriptures, and watching Mormon messages. haha </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Secondly,
Sister A. is doing awesome! I am not sure if I wrote about her last week or
not. So, a couple weeks ago we were contacting at a market and Sister A. came
up to Sister Ference wanting to know what we were doing. She was so impressed
that we were spending hours outside in the sun just trying to get people to go
to church when, according to her, it wouldn't have any benefit to us.
Therefore, we must surely have had something important to say. Yes! We do! So,
she came to church last week for the first time to see General Conference and
we taught her about 4 or 5 times this week, and she came to church yesterday.
A. is in her mid- 30's and lives by herself. She sells milk and wine. She has
had a really strained relationship with her parents her whole life and she
feels bad that she has quite a bit of a temper. Anyway, in our first lesson
with her she must have really felt the Spirit because that night she went home
and called her parents and apologized to them for everything that she had ever
said or done that was hurtful. They forgave her and she felt like a huge burden
had been eased. She was basically dancing when she told us about this
experience. She felt like God had forgiven her and she felt peace. The next day
she was mindfully keeping the word of wisdom and other commandments we had
introduced and saw a few small miracles happen that day, which she attributes
to God. The next day when she came to meet with us she told us that on the way
to the lesson a motorcycle sped by her, splashing water all over her. She said
normally she would have been so angry, but she didn't even care one bit. She
feels like living the Gospel is helping her control her temper. Can you see
what the Gospel is doing for Sister A? She has so many little weaknesses that
have upset her her whole life. In the course of just one week she has been able
to resolve these problems, and begin to improve herself. That is what following
Jesus Christ and applying his Atonement does for people. I can't even describe
how happy I am and how much this experience has affected me and strengthened my
testimony. Live the gospel + keep the commandments= HAPPY! She will be baptized
on this coming Sunday!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week we
also had a 17 year old girl randomly show up to church wanting to learn. Her
name is M. She is from Lamphun, but lives her by herself, studying at a
pre-college. She absolutely loves our message, church, the members, everything!
She is probably the most enthusiastic investigator I have ever taught.
Literally every single day this week we have come to the church and she's been
there waiting to be taught, even when we haven't set up an appointment! She
also brought along a friend named N., who is the same age. They are both
learning and preparing to be baptized next month. Since they're under age they
have to wait a month to be baptized, otherwise M. probably would have jumped in
the font already! Amazing miracles happening here!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Sunday,
Sister Fanta got confirmed a member of the church. She was so happy. I love
Fanta so much. Also, Brother Suthep was ordained to the Aaronic priesthood!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Brother Suthep
is doing awesome. He said lately he's been experiencing a lot of temptations
but he knows that keeping the commandments is the most important thing. So he's
choosing to be faithful to God before anything else. What an amazing example.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I just can't
get over how truly incredible these people are. Over the course of my mission I
have been so blessed to meet so many people that totally, completely change
their lives to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They have to sacrifice so
many things culturally, in their families, with their friends, etc... However,
they know that it's worth it because they have testimonies and see the
blessings in their lives. I want to always be like these people! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, yesterday
Sister Fay, a less active that wasn't even on the records, was officially
"saved." Sister Ference ran into her about a month ago and yesterday
she interviewed with the Branch President and we got her records taken care of.
She was so happy and said she's here to stay! Cannot even describe the kind of
joy and happiness that brings!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">God is blessing
us so much and I am just so grateful! I love Sister Ference so much. She is
such an amazing example to me and am I loving working with her and learning
from her. I love my life!</span></div>

so much! I hope you have a wonderful week and know that I'm thinking of you!</span></div>

Sister Ying is in the pink and she is a member. Her mom is next to her
and was baptized about two months ago. They are from a hill tribe far away. Her mom only speaks their hill tribe language, so Ying has to
translate. They are the sweetest people in the world!<br />
I love them so
much!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It started off
on a really high note with an awesome district meeting lead by Elder Klein. He </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">asked all of us
to come prepared to share a favorite scripture and our testimony about the
Atonement. It was one of the most powerful district meetings I have ever
experienced. Everyone shared powerful testimonies and gave wonderful insights.
I felt the Spirit so strongly in that meeting and I just felt so full of joy
and gratitude to our Savior, Jesus Christ! I am so happy and so honored that I
get to represent Him and share His joyful message with the world!! I also just
love the people that I serve with. Sister Ference and all of the elders in our
district are just amazing and have such burning testimonies and awesome desires
to give it their all in this work! It's so amazing to be serving here
with them all. I am so blessed! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, I'll update
you on a couple of investigators:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">First of all,
Sister Fanta was baptized! She has amazing faith. She's had quite a few
obstacles to overcome, including her disapproving family and her terrible fear
of water. She decided she wanted to be baptized, no matter the sacrifice, and
then had a dream that confirmed her decision. So, Saturday between conference
sessions Sister Fanta was baptized! It was a little traumatic, she was
literally crying because she was so scared of the water, but she was just fine,
and came out of the font so happy. She described the experience as
"beautiful" so I think it went well. And she gave a wonderful,
sincere testimony afterwards. Such a happy day! Also, on Sunday each of the
elder companionships had at least one baptism. So, there were six investigators
baptized this last weekend and we are all so happy and so grateful. All of
these people are so solid and have such great faith. It really is so amazing.
We were so happy. So happy in fact, that we tim tam slammed last night,
as well! It is so humbling to see these people accept the Gospel, change
their lives completely and make the necessary sacrifices to become a member of
this church. It is such a testimony booster to me to see the people feel the Spirit
and follow Him. I love being a missionary so much!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Brother Manid
is doing sooo well! He has a date to be baptized on the 26th (because he's
going to be out of town next week for a wedding). He absolutely LOVED
conference, especially President Monson's talk. Brother Manid is 80 years old,
but he is up to date with his technology! With every speaker at conference he
would look up their biography on his iphone on <a href="http://lds.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">lds.org</span></a>. Then in between
sessions he sat in the chapel, plugged in his earphones and watched mormon
messages on his phone. He is so awesome. He's the sweetest man. So happy for him!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have other
investigators that are progressing, but I’ll write more about them once we get
to teach them more. Oh, I’ll tell you about this one guy named Boat really
quick. So, Sister Ference contacted into him and he agreed to meet with us at
the church. When we called to confirm the appointment he asked if the church was
beautiful and we told him it is very beautiful. He showed up to his appointment
all dressed up, make-up, hair and all, ready to take pictures for college
graduation. So that day we had both a photo shoot and a first lesson. haha Went
pretty well, he wants to be baptized. We just need to teach him the
commandments so he knows what he's committing to. Anyway, that's brother Boat!

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Wednesday
night we got to go to the farewell of Sister Pookie and Brother Bow. They are
siblings both heading to the states on their missions. They both left yesterday
to go to the MTC in Provo. Sister Pookie is going to NYC, and Brother Bow is
going to San Diego! I am so excited for them! It was so fun to go spend a
little time with them and with the members of the ward. They've got quite the
adventure ahead of them! I hope they adjust to the states well. Yesterday they
were practicing listening to conference in English. Can't wait to hear how
they're doing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Friday we
went to Chiang Rai to do a switch-off with the sisters! It was so much fun. I
went with Sister Sawangwong and Sis. Ference went with Sis. Barber. It was so good to spend time with Sister Sawangwong. I really have missed her, but
I've been lucky to have lived with her again in Khon Kaen, and to serve together
here in the Chiang Mai zone. Anyway, we did a lot of inviting and visiting less
actives, which turned into a fun little adventure out in the boonies! So,
Chiang Rai is quite different than I expected. I thought it would be much more
mountainous. There are definitely mountains, but they are way out in the
distance. Chiang Mai is much closer to the mountains than Chaing Rai. Where we
went out to find LA's it was very lush and jungley. Soooo cool! I tried to
capture some pictures. Honestly, it reminded me of the Isaan, but a little
prettier. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We met with a
14 year old less active named Chompuu. Her mother was there as well. Her mom
used to be a Thai dancer and I was asking her about it. She let me try on her
fake nails and then taught me how to dance. Sis. Sawangwong videoed it, so I'll
show you when I get home. It was way fun! I've always kind of wanted to do
that! The only reason Chompuu wasn't coming to church was because she couldn't
wake up. So, she agreed to let Sister Sawangwong call her and wake her up on Sundays. </span></div>

from Sis. Sawangwong and Sis. Barber. Love the sisters in our zone! They are
all such amazing missionaries! Lucky me I get to serve with them all.</span></div>

hear. They all really loved it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Tuesday
night we headed out to Bangkok for Missionary Leadership Council which was held Wednesday morning at the
Chaengwatna chapel. It is just the biggest boost to meet together with
missionaries and receive instruction and guidance for the mission. I LOVE MLC!
Elder and Sister Meeker are the cutest. They prepared a delicious pancake
breakfast for us. Afterwards, we started our meetings and had a really
great training. Lately we've been trying to focus on being
"all-around" missionaries, that not only find, teach, and baptize,
but also retain and activate. Of course, this is so important, but sometimes
it's overwhelming to do it all. So, two of our zone leaders in Bangkok, Elder
Quinn and Elder Delagarza came up with a new verb for the mission: BRAFT-ing.
It stands for just those things: baptize, retain, activate, find, teach. So,
now we are supposed to ask ourselves every day if we are BRAFT-ing, what can we
do to BRAFT better, etc... haha. Kind of funny, but really great! In the
training we focused on each of these elements and how we can be efficient in
all areas. Every day we should be doing all of these things, so we learned
how we can help the missionaries be better BRAFTing missionaries, and therefore
better all-around missionaries! Everyday I'll go through
my planner and write a B, R, A, F or T, next to each activity we have planned
and then I can see what we may be missing. Really, it's nothing we didn't know
already, but hopefully it will help people organize
better. A big focus of finding was asking for referrals and involving members
better. Also, we're now not going to have companionship baptismal goals, but
rather district baptismal goals. We want more unity in our districts. This also
takes away the competitiveness that sometimes happens. I think this is all so
inspired and I love it! So, amazing training! I just love the missionaries in
our mission so much. They are all so dedicated and so willing to do what the
Lord wants. I am so inspired by the people that I serve around. What a blessing
to be serving! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">After the
training we ate a delicious chili dinner prepared by Sister Senior and had some
time to chat with everyone! What an awesome day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, after
training on Wednesday we hit the road to Pittsonulok to go train the Elders that
are in Gamphaengphet and P-Lok. It was fun to go see a new area that I’ve
heard so much about but never been to. We stayed in a cute little hotel by the
church that night, went for a nice adventure run the next morning, studied, ate
lunch at a cute little cafe, and then presented the training with the
zone leaders that afternoon! So much fun! The elders there are just awesome and
so excited to apply the training. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">After that we
headed back on the bus to Chiang Mai, about 6 hours. Longest bus ride ever!
haha They like to play these really obnoxious soap operas on the buses, so we
just try to sleep through it. haha But, the seat that I was on was a
little sketchy. I was lying against the window and reached down to grab
something from my bag at my feet and my seat unbolted from the floor and I
nearly fell off. There were three soldiers sitting in the row behind me and
they tried to grab my chair and all looked way concerned. haha </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anyway, we made
it back to Chiang Mai on Thursday night and the next morning we had a
training here for Lampang, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai. They all met here, the
training went really well. Pres. Senior came too because he had come up to do
interviews for the upcoming zone conference (I didn't get interviewed, I will
at ZC on the 17th). Anyway, that was really fun to see everyone! They're
all doing well!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Right after the
training we had to run. The government officials that we teach English to had
scheduled a lunch date with us missionaries here in Chiang Mai. So, all eight of us
got picked up in a government vehicle and were taken to a hotel for a
delicious lunch. It was so kind of them. They are very gracious people and
wanted to show their thanks by taking us to lunch. The editor of the newspaper
was there to take pictures as well so we should be in the upcoming edition of
Chiang Mai News (or whatever it's called)! Kind of a neat experience.
It's been a really neat thing to work with these people, and apparently,
one of the officials might be interested in learning with the Elders! </span></div>

investigators go, Sister F. was doing pretty well. She had learned
everything and really has the desire to be baptized. She has passed her
interview already and will be baptized! The plan was for yesterday. However,
her mom is very opposed to all this and wouldn't let her go. We've
talked to her and we're going to try to go visit the mom. I really
think things will work out okay in the end. F. is so awesome and has so much
faith. She just wants to do what's right and I know she'll be able to be
baptized this week.</span></div>

few investigators that are really great: Brother Th. and Sister O. They are
boyfriend/girlfriend and are so cute. Sister O. is Christian, Brother Th. is
Buddhist. They want to get married and he wants to raise his family Christian.
They love church, they love our restoration message, and they will be baptized.
We can only meet them on Sundays, so it may take a little while. We're just so
happy that they are so humble and excited to learn and follow Jesus Christ, and
that Sunday is their day off.</span></div>

is progressing very well! He's quite the faithful church-goer and we're hoping
he will be baptized this week. He's been out of town, but he's back now and so
hopefully things will work out for this week! He's just so great.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> We have more

sooooo good!</span></div>

This is called a รถแดง (rot daeng= red truck) and it's how people get

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last Monday was
way fun because we got to spend the day together as a zone and go to a really
pretty waterfall. It was super tall with many levels. If we weren't
missionaries we could have climbed up the waterfall. They have ropes attached
to the rock under the waterfall that you can grab onto. So pretty! I kind of felt like I was a Nephite walking through the
jungle! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, this last
week we've really been preparing Brother Suthep for his baptism, which happened
yesterday!!! He has a lot of faith and he travels an hour to come meet with us.
He is in his late 20's and is from the mountains. Anyway, he was raised
Christian, but was never baptized. As he learned more with us he came to develop
his own testimony and really wanted to be baptized. However, he's definitely
had some times of uncertainty or worry. He understands how important it is to
keep the commandments and he was worried about breaking them, such as not being
able to make it to church every Sunday because he lives a little ways away. In
the end we helped him understand that it is his choice and that if he wants to
come to church every Sunday and keep the commandments, then he can. It's up to
him, not anything else. He decided that he would make that commitment and he
was baptized yesterday! It was such a happy day. He gave a wonderful testimony and later in the evening after we had
already returned home he gave us a call to thank us for helping him. He said
that if we had not encouraged him he may not have decided to be baptized
because he was scared. He said that now that he is baptized he is so happy!
What a miracle. Such a happy day! I am so excited for Suthep. He has such
strong faith in God and wants to do what's right. He's such a great example to
me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another one of
our investigators, Brother M., is progressing very well. He's in his 80's
and has been coming to church and keeping commitments well. He loves to read
the profiles on Mormon.org. So cute. We'll have to make him one! He takes a
little more time to teach, but he's doing so well! So excited for him!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We also have
another investigator that has a goal to be baptized this coming week. Her name
is F. She's in college right now and she is one that also has great faith.
Her mother is very against her investigating the church, but she still comes.
The only other big concern she has right now with getting baptized is that
she's deathly afraid of water since she almost drowned as a child snorkeling.
So, we've been trying to comfort her, and one member at church is a swimming
instructor and offered to take her swimming to help her feel better about
the water. I'm so grateful for amazing, willing members who are so dedicated
to help us and I think that's going to make a big difference with F. She's
such a sweet girl. Very quiet and thoughtful. I feel really blessed to be teaching her right now!</span></div>

we met with a recent convert that is now less active because of a temporary
job. Her name is Sister I.C. She is absolutely amazing. She is working
right now to support her parents and siblings, but is going to be getting Sundays
off asap. She has a powerful testimony of Jesus Christ. She wants to be a
good person so that others that see her will know she loves Christ and is
representing him well. I was just blown away by her testimony and I felt the
Spirit so strongly when she shared it. </span></div>

week I just had so many spiritual experiences learning from the amazing
investigators and members here in Chiang Mai. These people have so much faith
and are so dedicated to the Gospel. It's so inspiring to me and I just feel so blessed that I was sent here. The members here just radiate with love for
one another. They are always serving each other and just have this really
special light about them. Truly disciples of Jesus Christ. I am so happy here!</span></div>

got the moves call and Sister Bentley, as well as E. Quinn, moved. Sister Bentley
is also training! So, since she is training we had to head out to Bangkok on
Tuesday night to get there for the trainer’s meeting at 8:00 Wednesday morning.
A little chaotic, but we made it! And, since we were in Bangkok we had time to
go visit some of our old areas!! First we went to Srinakarin (where Sis.
Bentley was born) and met with some of the members and recent converts. Then we
went to Bangkapi!!! Best day ever! We stayed the night with the Bangkapi
sisters, so we went over to the church and I was able to be there for Book of
Mormon class and ward correlation meeting! I got to see so many of the people
that I love. It was HEAVEN! Oh, I just love these people so much I can't even describe
it. I was so so so happy! They are doing well! Sister Boat and a handful of
others are preparing to go to the temple in July! </span></div>

transfers meeting. So much fun. Lots of people moving. Sister Bentley is
training in Roi Et. I am now companions with Sister Ference. She just came from
Saphan Sung training Sister Peck. She is absolutely amazing. I've only been
with her for three days and I am already learning so much. In Chiang Mai, Elder Sukhan and Luker both stayed. Elder Omer's new
companion is Elder Thanawat (he's from BangBuaThong). And Elder Klein is
training Elder Paxton here. Elder Paxton is so full of
enthusiasm and is so excited to work! This is just an amazing district and I
love everyone so much. I am so blessed and excited to be working with
these people. </span></div>

meeting we had a few other meetings for missionaries and leaders. Lots of good
counsel about not relaxing on our purpose, which is to baptize, but also really
trying to work through the members better, etc... it was great! After that
everyone went to Que Pasa. Yummy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was district conference so all of the
branches came for Saturday and Sunday meetings. That includes Chiang Rai,
Chiang Mai, Lampang, Pitsonulog, and Gamphengphet. So much fun! So, we
had all the sisters stay with us. There have been a few switches: in Chiang Rai
our sisters are Sister Barber with Sister Sawangwong (!!!), and in Lampang is
Sister Maughn with Sister Pavadee! They are all so amazing. It has been so fun
spending time with them over the last couple days. And, all the elders are
here, too. President Senior gave us permission to have a zone P-day and let
everyone stay through Monday! So, the whole zone is still here. We're going to
probably go up to some waterfall.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anyway, the
conference was so good. The theme was on self-reliance, both spiritually and
temporally. I really got a lot out of it and felt the Spirit. And yes, we got
to sing in the choir, too. Way fun! This last week has been a whirlwind, and I
can't even remember everything that happened! </span></div>

just might take a little longer. One of our investigators, Sp., is
progressing well and will hopefully be baptized on Sunday! We also had some
miraculous new investigators come to church on Sunday! We are being so blessed
here and I am just so happy.</span></div>

away by the faith and dedication of the members in our district, as well as
everywhere in Thailand. These Saints are so committed and are great examples
to me. I love them so much and am learning so much from them all. It was such a
boost to me to see all these amazing members come together this weekend and
share their testimonies, experiences, etc... There is so much love among
everyone and I just feel so honored to serve here. </span></div>

to be an AWESOME transfer! I love my companion so much! She is from Holladay,
Utah and goes to the U. She's just one transfer behind me and was
born in Lampang, so she's happy to be back in the North. She is amazing at
Thai and teaching. She's also just so adorable and loving. Love this

give you the update on our investigators. We've been so blessed to find a lot
of really great investigators; however, this week it seemed like half of them left town. The rest of them
were really hard to get a hold of. These investigators are really great, but
they're not progressing as fast as we'd like, mostly because we're having a hard
time meeting with them. We text/call/fb, but in the end we really need to see
them in person and they need to come to church. So, hopefully this week will be
a little better as far as being able to meet with our investigators. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">However, one of
our investigators, Brother Manid, is doing great! He's our 80 year old
investigator that is so so so cute! He met with us a couple of days ago for the
second time and it was like teaching a new person. The first time we taught he
related and compared everything we taught to Buddhism. Which, of course, is
normal and makes sense, because that is all he knows! However, this time I feel
like he really was more sincere about understanding exactly what we believe. He
would repeat back what he understood and share his thoughts. In the end,
Brother Manid accepted a baptismal date for the 21st of this month. He's the
sweetest thing. So that was an amazing miracle and
blessing! So happy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Some very sad
news: The Ure's got transferred to Bangkok. :( We all miss them sooooo much.
They were like our grandparents here and took care of us and the members. They
are now over the humanitarian aid and are living in Asoke. I'm excited to see them
at transfer meeting this week! So, since they are gone that also means that our
district now has to take over their teaching job. We are now teaching English
to the head government officials of Chiang Mai Tuesday through Friday from
1-2:30 at the main government building. So, we
taught for the first time this week. I was kind of scared. haha But they are
very gracious and kind and participate so well. The governor wants his
staff to be able to speak English better before ASEA hits in 2015 so he wants
an intensive daily English class for them all. On Thursday we taught the Head
of Army, Agriculture, and Livestock of Chiang Mai. It was actually pretty fun!
They loved having us come and I am excited to keep teaching. They really want
us to focus on pronunciation, listening, and speaking. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another fun
thing this week was our activity for the newly baptized members of the church.
Our Branch Mission Leader is so awesome. He truly cares for every one and wants
to help all these RC's feel loved and supported. So, a few weeks ago in
correlation meeting he asked us to help plan a big activity to welcome in all
the new members. It ended up being a blast. What we did was re-create Lehi's
vision of the Tree of Life and act it out (I think this may be the third time
I've done this on the mission, but this was definitely the biggest production!).
So, we set up a Christmas Tree in the cultural hall and Sister Bentley and I made
Rice Krispie treat balls to be the fruit. Then we took a rope and zig-zagged it
around the gym so that the people holding to the "rod" would have a
bit of a journey. After setting up that much, we missionaries left. But the
next day when we came to help we had quite the fun surprise. The ward
missionaries had made a "mist of darkness" and a "great and
spacious building" out of tents/blankets/etc... and turned it into a sort
of an obstacle course. Not only that, but they dumped out a huge bin full of branches
and Christmas ornaments all over the floor as extra things to trip on. haha We
were a little shocked.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anyway, we had a really great turnout. Before
we began the activity, everyone gathered in a classroom and introduced
themselves. Then the Branch President, his counselors, the Elders Quorum
President, and the Branch Mission Leader introduced themselves and explained to
the new members what their own jobs are and how they are here to help them! So
gooood! After that we lined up everyone outside of the gym and blindfolded them
all and then took them to the "iron rod!" All they were told beforehand
was to NOT let go of the rod until someone took off their blindfold, which
would signify that they had finished the course. Well, it was a mad house! The
ward missionaries really went to town. As the new members were making their way
along the course, the ward missionaries would come and try to get them off the
course by whispering to them, dumping baby powder on them, throwing ornaments
on them, shaking dried palm leaves all over them, giving them other ropes to
hold onto, etc... It was the funniest sight. Everyone was screaming! And if
someone let go of the rod, we would take them outside the gym to the branch
president, he would explain the principle of repentance, and then we would lead
them back to the rod. Some people had to go see the branch president a lot...
haha. Anyway, when they finally made it to the Tree of Life, the Elders took off
their blindfolds, congratulated them, then gave them a rice krispie treat, and
then directed them to the chapel. It probably took over 30 minutes for everyone
to finally make it to the tree. Once we were in the chapel we were able to
explain the significance of that activity, and share from the vision in the
scriptures, ask for them to share, etc... We wanted everyone to understand the
vision of the Tree of Life, but also the role of the leaders in the branch, and
the idea of sharing the "fruit" with friends and family. So, I think
it was a successful night. Lots of fun. Everyone was covered in baby powder and
Christmas sparkles! Afterwards, we had a delicious green curry dinner. It was so
fun! Our investigator Dawaan came and he could not get over the rice krispie
treats. He loved them and begged for the recipe. Made us laugh. Anyway, it was
a great night, and I just felt extra grateful for the amazing leadership in
this branch. They do so much for the members, investigators, and us. They spend
so much time helping and uplifting everyone! I want to be like them!!</span></div>

few of the main events this week. Oh! This made me laugh: I have the picture of our family that you sent me for my birthday on my planner cover. Yesterday a
few people were looking at the picture, asking who was who. They all thought
that Sam was older, at least 20 years old. One girl also asked if Sam has a
girlfriend... flashback to Bangkapi... it's starting again! haha I'll be more
careful who I show our family to this time around, though.... haha. Anyway, Sam,
you're quite the popular man over on this side of the ocean! love ya!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last Monday was fun because we had FHE at the Darting's house. They are this cute little
family from California that is here on military assignment. They've been here
for about 2 years or so. They have three cute little kids. It was so nice to
just be in an American home! We had a delicious dinner and then Sis. Darting
and the kids led a FHE lesson that was so good. Then we all ate cheesecake in
honor of B. Darting's upcoming birthday. Amazing Monday!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I just want to tell you about
some of our investigators and then tell you about MLC in BKK! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, we have a
handful of awesome investigators right now. The first is Sister D. She is the sister-in-law of a recent convert of ours. Sister D is Christian already and her
husband is Buddhist. They live in BKK, but she's pregnant right now so she came
up to Chiang Mai for her pregnancy to be in the clean air. Anyway, her sister-in-law
is quite the little missionary and now Sister D wants to be baptized. She
loves what we've taught so far and was at church yesterday. She is not legally
married, so we'll have to take care of that first. In Thailand I've met a lot
of people that are married according to tradition, but never get around to
actually signing marriage papers. It's pretty common. So, hopefully she can get
the marriage papers signed soon! She is so cute and I just love the amazing
support and encouragement she has from her sister. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another
investigator that I love that is just so cute is Brother Md. He's an 80 year
old man that we invited off the street. He has come to church twice and we've
taught him once. He's pretty set in his Buddhist ways, yet he loves coming to
the church. We'll see what happens this next week with him! He's just the
cutest man!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have a
mother and daughter that are investigating right
now, as well. These two were not satisfied with Buddhism and wanted to find
something more. When we taught the restoration lesson along with some of the
commandments, they absolutely loved it! They understand that commandments are
important and that we actually need to follow them if we want to see the
benefits in our lives and receive blessings from God. Anyway, they love church
so much. They have not accepted a baptismal date yet, but we'll be meeting with
them again soon and I think it should not be much longer. They are just so with
it and they support each other so well and love this Gospel!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On our way back
from Bangkok a Philippino man was on the same bus as we were. We got talking to
him and it turns out he had a lot of Mormon friends back home. Right now he's
here for a year working. He asked us what the difference was between the big
white churches and the churches with basketball courts. haha Anyway, he said he
had a friend that all of a sudden went missing for a couple of years and then
randomly was back at home. He asked this friend where on earth he had
disappeared to and the friend told him he had been serving a mission in another
country. Anyway, he's been well-exposed to Mormonism and he agreed to come to
church yesterday. It was a really good experience. He just had a huge smile all
day long and made friends with some other members in our branch from the Philippines.
We'll be meeting with him again soon and begin teaching him lessons. Oh, this
made me laugh. In Sacrament meeting the opening hymn was "The Morning Breaks."
It's kind of a tricky song. I was sitting next to him and he said, "If
this was a test, I would fail." haha Love this guy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anyway, those
are a few of our investigators right now! I'll keep you updated. Sister Bee is
doing SO well! She loves loves loves church and she is so involved and just
loving all the members. It makes me so happy! Yesterday she was confirmed a
member of the church! Happy day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, yesterday
was miraculous because we had 9 investigators at church! Two of them are from
China and we are teaching them tonight! There are so many people to talk about
but just not enough time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oh, yesterday
as I was waiting in the lobby for our investigators to show up to church I saw
a farang couple walking up to the door. When they came in I almost died because
I realized that it was Alicia and her husband! I visit taught Alicia my
freshman year- we were in the same dorm! I was so beyond excited to see her!
She and her husband have been living in China for a year and came to Thailand
for a weekend vacation. They are so cute and it was so nice to talk to her for
a few minutes. Made my day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, last
night was our last dinner with the Ures. So sad, they are being transferred to
BKK to take the place of another senior couple that is going home. We are going
to miss them SO much! I love the Ures to death!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Okay, so MLC in
BKK was so great! We left Friday evening and got there early Saturday morning
and crashed at the church. Unfortunately, I accidentally left my nice clothes on
the bus, so I was in my bus sleeping clothes for the whole day... not as
professional or as put together as I was hoping for. Oh well! haha Anyway,
Elder Allen is the head of the missionary department. He headed up "The
District" videos and many, many other things. Elder Funke of the 70 was
also there. They are so amazing, I learned so much. I can't even tell you
everything, but I'll highlight some of the main points that I liked. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Okay,
first of all we had MLC in the morning, but then later in the afternoon we had
a meeting for all the BKK missionaries and people down for MLC. Well, Elder
Allen is really straight forward and does not sugar coat anything. He
congratulated us for doing so well with finding and baptizing people but then
he chastised us for forgetting a lot of other really important things. He
quoted President Hinckley a lot. President Hinckley taught that there is a much
better way to work than just tracting/contacting/etc... it's through the
members! So, he really focused on referral work, formers, etc... He also talked
about linking our recent converts to members in the church better so they are
more solid. Also, he told us that as leaders we don't need to hold our
missionaries accountable, but help them feel the need to be accountable. So,
there are so many awesome things I learned, can't even write them all down.
It was a great time in BKK and I learned so much! After the meetings we
headed back to Chiang Mai. Got into town Sunday morning at like 5 am. So we got
a little bit of sleep, got ready and then went to an amazing day of church. We
definitely crashed last night once we got home, though. And we may just crash today,
too! haha</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So, it's been a
great week! We have a lot of potentials, and a lot of great investigators! We
are being blessed so much and are so grateful to be serving together here in
Chiang Mai!</span></div>

Chiang Mai is amazing! It's actually still a branch because it's not a stake up
here yet. But, in Chiang Mai there are two branches. The first meets at 9:00 am
and the second meets at 1:00. We are over the second branch with the zone
leaders. It's fun having 1:00 church. I really, really like it. It makes it easier
to get people to church in the first place, and it gives us time to invite and
to make lots of church calls. The branch president is so great. He is
so willing to serve and help everybody and he just has this kind, calming
presence. I feel like everything just runs smoothly here and there's a lot of
love and kindness here. I LOVE it here! And there are definitely a lot of
tourists! We have a couple falang families that are here with the military and
school. They are cute! In fact for FHE tonight we are going to the Darting's
for Hawaiian Haystacks and cheesecake! Wahoo!</span></div>

such a great, amazing, crazy week! I don't even know where to start, so much
happened. I guess I'll start with Tuesday: Training from Pres. Senior and switch-off's
with the Chiang Rai sisters! Awesome, awesome day! So, President and Sister
Senior have been traveling around the country visiting districts to give more
one-on-one training! It was so wonderful. There were so many awesome
things that I learned, but I think the take-away message I got from it was that
we need to be showing more love to the people we teach. As a mission we have
become very good at teaching people for baptism, but maybe we need to be focusing
more on teaching people for conversion. Pres. and Sis. Senior really stressed
that we need to be showing our love and charity for our investigators by asking
"inspired questions" and identifying their real concerns. In this
mission we tend to baptize people really fast and that's totally fine. Pres.
Senior talked about how we don't need to slow down the time it takes to prepare
people for baptism, but we do need to maybe take an extra ten minutes in a
lesson, or give them a random call, etc... to just listen and understand them.
Help them know we love and care for them and are willing to
do whatever we can to help them along their conversion process. It was so
wonderful! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We did a few
role plays and then went and grabbed lunch together. Afterwards, we switched
off with Sister Barber and Holmes. We stayed here in Chiang Mai for it. I spent
the day with Sister Barber- she is just the best! Loved working with her! She's
a great teacher and I learned a lot. Right after the training we had an
appointment with one of our recent converts, Brother Dtong. This guy is so
awesome. He and his family moved to Germany about 4 or so years ago. His family
wanted him to return to Thailand to be a monk so he came, but with no intention
of going to the wat. He came to the church one day looking for work and he met
with the missionaries and ended up getting baptized. Anyway, President Senior asked to come help us teach in the lesson. I was a
little nervous, but it was such a great experience and a confidence boost! I
really tried to apply what we'd just learned from the training. haha Pres.
Senior had some great insights and scriptures and Brother Dtong had awesome
questions! A really great experience! So those were some of the highlights from
Tuesday and switch-offs.</span></div>

quite a few investigators this week: First off was Th. from Cameroon! I ran
into him while we were inviting at a mall and he agreed to meet with us. He
originally was playing soccer for Buri Ram, but had an injury and now he buys clothes/shoes/accessories
from Thailand and sells them back to Cameroon. Anyway, he said he is not
satisfied with his religion and wants to learn more about our church. He is
reading the Book of Mormon in French online!</span>

were able to meet with S. a couple of times! Sis. Tilley contacted into him
a week or so before she headed home. He then moved to Bangkok, but then last
week we just barely found out that he'd changed his mind and is back in Chiang
Mai! He understands what we teach very well and willingly keeps all the
commandments! He has a goal to be baptized in September. He couldn't come to
church yesterday because of work, but he's working on getting that squared
away! So, we have a lot of hope for S. and are so excited and grateful to
be working with him!</span></div>

another investigator named F. She wants to get baptized, but was a little
hesitant about it. We were trying to figure out what the problem was and it
finally came down to the fact that she was afraid of getting dropped in the
water! So, we assured her she'd be fine and now she's way excited to be
baptized. </span></div>

write more about them next week once we have the chance to meet them and teach
them more! I really feel like we are being so blessed right now! Exciting time!

also had a lot of awesome opportunities just to spread a little light to
people. We met with a lot of travelers and foreigners that were very interested
in our work. We met with some Chinese tourists, a German couple, and a man from
Canada. We had really nice conversations with them all and were able to
introduce them to the church and our beliefs. After talking to all these people
Sis. Bentley and I just felt so happy! These people are now at least a little
closer to Christ and have the information to contact the church in their home
countries. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anyway, we had
two Chinese tourists come to the church one morning while we were there. One
was a man in his 50's named Zh. and his niece in her 30's or so named L.
One of the elders had invited them and they randomly showed up at the church.
We were the only ones there so we gave them a tour of the church. It was the
neatest thing. When we walked into the Sacrament room both of them just gasped
and then paused. They really felt the Spirit, but of course they did not
understand it. Zh. asked if he could take a picture so that he could remember
how he felt here. They were so receptive and excited to learn. Zh. even told
us that if we come to China he will let us stay at his house and cook us food.
They are so cute! Anyway, L. came to church on Sunday. Zh. was not able to
come. The elders are taking care of them. They'll be here for a month, so
they'll be coming on Sundays and meeting with the elders during the week! So
amazing! Really spiritual experience!</span></div>

our very exciting news: Sister Bee was baptized! This girl is just so amazing!
She had met with elders in the past on the street but was not interested in the
message. However when a Christian lady came to the university and prayed with
her class she said she felt something different and began researching God
online. Well, she remembered the elders and decided to come to our church a few
weeks ago. She accepted everything so willingly and happily. One day we met up
for a lesson and she had been fasting all day long. Another time we were explaining
the baptismal covenant and the Gift of the Holy Ghost and she literally
clenched her fists and started shaking because she was so excited! On the day
of her baptism she was just beaming! She told us that before she was baptized
she never gave much thought to life, but now she has direction and understands
her purpose and she feels more like an adult. Sister Bee is so amazing. I love
her so much! She was truly prepared to receive the gospel. She's also made a
ton of friends. One thing that I just love about Thai people is that they
welcome everyone in so happily and quickly. People that enter the church here
feel like their part of the family from day one and they all become very close.
It's so amazing! I LOVE THAILANDDDDD!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This was a
really great week. Lots of travel, it's all kind of a blur. Basically, we
headed down to Bangkok on Wednesday night and got there around 6:00am on
Thursday morning to drop off Sister Tilley. Sad to say good bye to her, she's
one awesome missionary and I am so happy we got to spend a couple of weeks
together! Anyway, we had to run a few errands in BKK to get
her ready to leave, so that took up most of Thursday. However, I became the new
Sister Training Leader, so we had to stay for Friday as well to go to Missionary
Leadership Council. We stayed the night at the Asoke Sisters' house and it was
soooo much fun! There are the DinDaeng Sisters (Sister Jackson and Sister
Pitts) and the International sisters (Sister Ing and Sister Peterson!). It was
SO awesome to catch up with Sister Peterson. I have really missed her. Also, in
the middle of the night Sister DuPlessis and Sister Eve showed up. So fun to see them! Miss them all.
Sister Hughes and Sister Speas are now STL's in Udon and we all went out to
Sizzlers and Coldstone together! It was a really fun reunion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Anyway, Friday
morning we had MLC and the Meekers prepared a delicious pancake breakfast for
us all. They are the sweetest! So full of energy and always serving others.
Normally MLC happens at the beginning of every month, but there was a special
meeting this week in preparation for the visit of Elder Allen, who is over the
mission department. He's coming in two weeks, which is when we'll go to BKK
again for another MLC. This time we received training from President and he
talked about how we can unite the mission a little better and</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> remember to have
balance in all we do. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">President also
discussed other reminders to pass along to the zones. So, it was a really great
meeting to prepare us all for when E. Allen comes. He's coming to MLC, and will
go out teaching and inviting with some missionaries in Bangkok. I'm excited to
see what we learn from him!</span>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was a really
fun, and really tiring three days of travel and no sleep! haha Today is going
to be a relaxing P-day! But I just loved meeting with Elders and Sisters from
around the mission. Such a boost!</span></div>

Mai we have been really, really blessed! We weren't here for a good chunk of
the week, but God blessed us for it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have one
investigator that is on mark to be baptized this coming Sunday. She is about 20, studying at the university. She has a pretty awesome
story. So, a long time ago she ran into some missionaries and she was not at
all interested. However, she kept the pass-along card that they gave her. A few
weeks ago she was at school and a Christian lady came and prayed with them in
one of her classes. She said she felt different and she felt good and she wanted
to learn more about what she felt. So, she remembered the elders that she had
once met, and decided to come to church. So, last Sunday she came for the
first time and we got to teach her multiple times this week. She is so prepared
and so sincere in learning. She has so many awesome questions and she is so
willing to keep the commandments. One of my favorite moments was when we were
watching the Restoration video and at the First Vision she gasped and told us she
had goose bumps! She's so solid and she loves being at the church. She's made a
lot of friends and is so willing to meet with us. We'll be teaching her
tonight. I love this girl and am so grateful for the elders that gave her that
pass-along card so long ago and that she acted on her feelings to come to
church. What a miracle!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, we had 5
investigators that came to church on Sunday! All of them have the goal to be
baptized, but there's going to be a lot of logistical things to work out. So,
we're praying and working for miracles. We just feel extra blessed and excited!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oh, this was
really fun: So, last week we were talking with the zone leaders about how we
can give a little boost to the zone. Elder Omer had a great idea of coming up
with a motivational video to the Alex Boye rendition of "Have I Done Any Good?" So, we took videos of our companionships working and Sister Bentley
compiled them into a movie for the zone. It turned out way cute!
Anyway, that was super fun, and I was blown away at how fast Sis. Bentley
whipped out that video. She's never made videos before and it’s done so well.
Skill. </span></div>

are the highlights of the week. It's all kind of a blur, but it was such a good
week. I love Sister Bentley so much. She is such an amazing missionary and we
have so much fun together. I'm learning a lot from her. I love Chiang Mai. I
love the members. I love this Gospel and I LOVE sharing it!</span></div>

leaves home on Thursday, so we'll probably have to head down on Wednesday
night. We usually just do the overnight bus or train. And yes, it's definitely
a long ride. To MahaSarakham and KhonKaen it was only like 5-7 hours. This ride is
about 12-14 depending on the mode of transportation. We're always so tired, but
it's always a really fun adventure!</span></div>

is the head of the zone (this is where the zone leaders are), so it's called
the Chiang Mai Zone. In Chiang Mai our district consists of the zone leaders,
the district leader and his comp, another set of elders (one is being trained)
and us sisters. But the Chiang Mai zone covers Lampang, Chiang Rai, Pitsonulog,
and Gamphengphet. Way fun!</span></div>

being in a trio. I was interested to see what it would be like and I absolutely
love it! It is probably the most continuous fun I have had on my mission, and it's
because Sister Tilley and Sister Bentley are just awesome. They work so hard,
get things done, and have fun. I feel like we're laughing all the time.</span></div>

went to the Hill Tribe up on the mountain, as well as a wat (temple) up there.
It was absolutely beautiful. It is so lush and the mountain overlooks Chiang
Mai. We got to dress up and take pictures and walk around some pretty gardens.
Way fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Tuesday we
had a really great district meeting. Elder Bartholomew is a great district leader
and had a very organized and well thought out lesson. He focused on skills for
teaching first lessons with investigators and really stressed doing the church
tour. It's a lot of fun, it's what we normally do, but he added in an element. So
normally with a church tour we take them to the sacrament meeting room, explain
what happens there and sometimes we teach a principle or commandment there,
then we head to the baptismal font and explain baptism and ask them to be
baptized. Well, E. Bartholomew asked us to then take our investigator to a
picture of the temple on the wall and help them understand that that is really the end
goal. And we've done it a few times with new
investigators. I really like it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of our new
investigators is named L. He came to church last week for the first time. He is Gariang, which is
the Hill Tribe here. They have their own language and I literally cannot
understand it. I can understand Esan okay and even speak a little bit of it.
This is completely foreign. Of course, he also speaks Thai, but it's not his
native language. So, we had a member in the first branch presidency who is also
Gariang come help us teach him so that he for sure understood what we were
teaching. It really helped. L was already Christian and has been baptized
into another church (in fact, his name means "frankincense") and he
is really worried about being baptized a second time. Right now he's praying to
receive an answer about Joseph Smith and the restoration. So, excited to help him keep
progressing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On Thursday
night we went and did a switch-off with the Lampang sisters! (Lampang is about
a </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">1.5 hour bus
ride from Chiang Mai) It was so much fun! All three of us went to Lampang.
Sister Tilley and I went with Sister Maughan, and Sister Bentley went with Sister
Black. Those two are just so cute! It was really fun to spend the day with
Sister Maughan because I have never really gotten to know her that well. She is
just so cute and I had a lot of fun. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One huge
miracle that happened while we were in Lampang. So, a few days before Sister Tilley
had contacted into a guy named S. He happened to be going to Lampang the
same day as us, so we set up an appointment to teach him there. Well, this is
probably the most prepared investigator I have ever met. He wants to be
baptized so badly. He already keeps all the commandments, and before we even
introduced them he told us he just felt like there must be rules to follow
before baptism and then he asked what they are. Anyway, it was really cool to
see! Unfortunately, that very day he was moving down to Asoke for work, so we
won't get to teach him anymore. But, Sister Jackson just got a really awesome
new dater! Wahoo!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Yesterday at
church we had a few new investigators come! Yay! One lady is named Ch. She's in her 50's studying Burmese. She was on her
lunch break and dropped in at church. We gave her a tour and then she went to
the first part of sacrament meeting! Hopefully she'll be free to meet again
soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Another girl named B came, too. She's interested in Christianity and so
she came to our church. We taught her and she's excited to be learning! She wants
to be baptized once she receives a confirmation of the truth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also, we had a
mother/daughter duo that came to church a few days ago that want to be
baptized, but want to take some time to study first (of course). So, we're really
seeing a lot of blessings here and we are very happy! I'll keep you updated on
their progress!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: TH; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Okay, so every
Saturday the Sister Training Leader has a meeting with the zone leaders. So, we met and we were
trying to come up with something fun to motivate the zone. I can't even totally
describe what happened, but Sister Tilley was trying to explain some idea she
had and asked us all to close our eyes and picture it. Well, Sis. Bentley and I did
not close our eyes, but Elders Quinn and Omer did. They were really tentative about it,
though, because they would keep peeking at each other to see if the other had
their eyes opened or closed, but at different times. Well, we lost it and so
did the Elders and we pretty much just sat there and laughed to the point of tears
for like 10 minutes. We left the meeting not really sure what happened, but it
was so funny. Hard to explain in an email. However, we did have a bit of
productivity. Elder Omer came up with the idea to make a video of us doing
missionary work, service, etc. to the Alex Boye version of "Have I done
any good?" So, we've been working on that and we'll be compiling it today!
Fun!</span></div>
