New Elders, Emergency trip to Thailand, and a Government Meeting

So, this last week was really busy. Last Sunday was great. We got to teach and help our investigators progress. Tomorrow, Tom, an investigator mainly taught by Elder Saunders and Elder Higginson, will be baptized. 

Monday was a fun day. We had a FHE at night, and two of the people I served with in Chiang Mai had come up to Laos for a few days, so it was a lot of fun to see them again and catch up. On our way back from FHE, Elder Saunders crashed his bike. We are still not sure what happened exactly but he took a bad spill and couldn't remember anything that happened that day. He kept asking the same questions over and over again. On top of that, he had a lot of wounds on his arms and face so I had to take him to Thailand and go to the hospital there. So, we crossed the border right at 10:00pm when it closed and left the hospital at like 2:30 in the morning in Udorn. He ended up not have any lasting amnesia. It all went away. He did have to get 5 stitches on his chin though. It was an exciting night. We had to leave the other two Elders to teach English. They didn't have their Visa's to go back to Thailand. 

Also, this week I got to take part in a government meeting between DIC and the Lao Government. I was just translating for the senior missionaries but it was a lot of fun. 

Yesterday Elder Fjeldsted and Elder Johnson came into Laos. Elder Higginson and I switched off and went and picked them up. It is way good to have six Elders again.

Today we are going to a lake with some English students so it should be fun.

So this week has been mostly great!  (Injuries excluded.)
