Song Kran

Well, it has been a short few days since I emailed last, so I feel I don’t have that much more to add. The New year’s festival was a lot of fun.

Saturday was the best we went up north to visit the members there and had a good day there. We made and ate some Lao food and we got to go and have a good water fight at this river. It was funny while at the river Elder Smith-Driggs and I were wading up to about our knees or so. And one of the members says, “Do you both not know how to swim?” Then we replied “Actually both of us used to be lifeguards.” So that was funny. Sometimes it is a little bit difficult to not be able to swim as a missionary. We still had a great time. 

We both got sunburned because it was a way hot day and we did not have the normal missionary clothes like usual. Sunday was also great. We got to watch some General Conference here.

 It took a while to get the Lao translation of Conference here but we have it now. Another fun thing from this week was the first councilor in the mission presidency and his wife were up here to participate in the new year’s festival and visit members with us. His name is President Tiger (เสือ) he is a funny guy that is fun to be around. 

Other than that, not much has happened. We are visiting members. Before, when I was here and we didn't have a church, we visited the same 30-40 members over and over again. The great thing about having a church now is we are seeing all the other members and able to get to know them and go to their houses as well. We still aren't teaching English and we think it might be another few weeks before that starts. That is no problem though because right now we are getting to visit members all day and it is awesome.
