New Investigators

So to start off, this transfer I stayed in Samutprakaan with Elder Ellis. Our p-day last week was good we played arrow tag. It was good and the arrows didn't hurt, which was also good.

I am really happy to be here in Thailand. Being a missionary is the most fun I have ever had; I get to go out every day and talk to people about someone they may have not even heard of.  There are a lot of let downs in missionary work but if you work hard, the work can be satisfying even if your labors are not successful.

The anticipation for transfers this week was really insane. They didn't get transfer calls out till the day before, then it was a little anti climatic when nothing crazy was happening here.  Then our Wednesday and Thursday was empty because we didn't know if we would have to go down to transfers or not, so we hadn’t scheduled anything. 

We got some new investigators this week. It is a cool story; we were waiting for our investigator to come meet us at this shopping center and this lady came up to us and asked: ‘You guys teach about Christianity right?’ We answered yes and then she said ‘Well, Buddhism isn't working too well for my family right now and we want to change religions.’  So we meet with them at their house and they had a Book of Mormon that was the old Thai translation from like 6 years ago, and because that Book of Mormon was just randomly handed to them she knew that we teach about Jesus. It was super cool. They have read part of the Book of Mormon already. So it is a mom and two daughters that are interested. 

Then, this Sunday we had Sister Cowfan and Henry come to church. Sister Cowfan passed her baptismal interview. We had plans for her to get baptized next Sunday, but after the interview we found out she actually lives in Bangna's area so she will get baptized in their ward. Still probably next Sunday.

Well that's about it for this week
