Weeks are flying by

 Teaching class

 Totally awesome zone conference.

 Lunch at the zone conference.

 We rarely get to ride in cars so I took a pick of this cool car that we rode in.
 This is my favorite kid in the ward. 
His name is Adam and he is hilarious. 
(I found this on my phone.)
This guy reminded me of Daddy because he was playing the guitar and had a harmonica holder around his neck that he was playing too.
A tiny Sister missionary in our district. 
She may be small but she is not boring.
Update:
This week has been fully of amazing miracles! We have been teaching this guy lately who's name sounds like Ong. He is very interested in learning about The Book of Mormon. He has a lot of faith when we teach him about God. He always tells us that he believes God helps him in life and so he wants to learn more about Him to understand His ways and why Ong is here on this Earth. As missionaries, we go on missions for the reason of helping others to come unto Christ. I do this because I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. Even if I knew nobody would listen to me at all, I would still go on a mission and do my very best to serve. People like Ong are blessings along the way because they have the humility and understanding to try to change their lives for the better and be baptized following in the example of our savior Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for this knowledge that I have received at a young age so that I am able to serve God in this way. I know for a fact that so far in my life, this is going to be the best 2 years!

Bangkapi has really been really fun lately. Our district has been playing a ton of basketball at our church lately on our preparation day. Elder Sudekum is a new Elder in our district and he is very good at basketball. I have so much fun playing with them because it is very hard to find good basketball in Thailand. YES!!! It’s so fun!

Every once and a while we have to ride a taxi, and it is so tight in the taxi. We have a 6' 5" guy in the car, a 6' 6" guy, and a 225 pound other guy. Whenever we all ride in the back in a taxi, we barely fit. It would be funny to see, but I'm not gonna take a picture of it.

As missionaries, we get the opportunity to work a lot with the members of our church congregation. There is one member that we visited this week named Golf. He is a super nice guy and he just barely had his first child. We talked to him for a bit about how he was doing and how his family was and we shared a spiritual thought with him. When we were about to leave, he asked us if we could stay longer and eat dinner with him and his wife, so we accepted. While we were waiting for dinner, Brother Golf took us to a room in his house and showed us this mirror, Elder Killian and I didn't really understand what he was doing, but all the sudden, Golf took out this card key and put it against the wall AND THE MIRROR SLIDES OFF AND THERE IS A SECRET ROOM! It was so surprising I almost popped. He had a ton of awesome guns, bows and arrows, and other awesome manly things. It was so fun looking at everything. Then we found out that he ordered us KFC. That chicken was amazing!
I love you everyone, thanks for reading my letter. Have a great week!
