So this week was good. We continued
working with a lot of the same investigators. The three friends Summer, Sky and
Oom are all doing great and are well on track for their baptism on the 5th of
February. We got to meet with them several times this week and they come to all
the activities at church and come to church on Sunday so they are doing great.
We had another little miracle happen
this week. So, we got a referral from this member in Chaing Rai. They sent us
their friend’s phone number and before I even finished reading the message to
call the person, the person calls me. So we got to meet with them on Saturday.
Even cooler, this referral brought a friend to the appointment so we got two
new investigators out of it. The referral went to church this week, as well. Her
name is Mo.
A fun story from this week: I was
calling Less Active's in our phone, trying to set up appointments and get to
know people. I call this one LA and it turns out that he lives like an hour and
a half away from the city by bus. He seemed really nice, his problem was he
lives way far away from the church. He is a lime farmer and he only makes about
23 US Dollars a month, so he cannot afford to come in to church. We went all
the way out to visit him on Wednesday, because we had a bunch of appointments
cancel, so we went out to his house. Apparently, he went to church a while ago looking
for financial help and he couldn't get assistance from the church. So that was
sad. Then I was looking in our area book and I found his unfinished baptismal
record from years ago. Never finished and never sent in. So we have to go back
out to his house again to get that finished up. It also explains why the church
couldn't help him out because they had no information about him. So message of
the week… send in baptismal forms the day after the person gets confirmed.
This Sunday was great and also a
little weird. We got 5 investigators at church which was great but we had to
leave right after sacrament meeting because... I had to go back to Laos. So we
had to leave in order to meet back up with everyone. Sadly, this is not a
permanent move back. We just had to leave because our Thai tourist visas were
about to expire.
So all of the Lao Elders are back up
here having a little reunion and meeting with members and stuff. It felt really
good as we rolled back into Vientiane. It just felt like we were coming home
after a vacation. Sadly we will only be here until Wednesday night when we get
our new Thai visa. So it is great to be back, even if it is only for a short
time.
Well that is basically it for this
week. Hopefully, I will have some fun stories for you next week.
