I got to see all of my best friends that I was in the MTC with!
We are standing on a Bangkok Temple lot.
They break ground TOMORROW!!!
All three of us are from Bentonville, Arkansas!
Having fun helping out at a school.
This is the principal of the school.
We were cutting down a massive jackfruit and I caught it.
The number of chairs that we are sitting on is how many transfers we have left!
The principal of the school came to church with us.
This is the entire Bangkok Thailand Mission with Elder M. Russell Ballard, a member of the 12 Apostles sitting on the front middle. It was incredible to meet him.
A creepy lizard that had strangely large legs.
I got a big cup.
We got to eat Shabushi before Elder LeMone left.
Elder LeMone leaving Buriram.
Big News!!!
Dang this week was so busy! Today for
P-day, Elder LeMone and I have been getting ready all day because transfers
came and he is out of here! He will no longer be serving here in Buriram, but
he is going to Rangsit. I had so much fun with Elder LeMone! He was truly a
really amazing missionary. He always tried to be the best that he could, and he
is very diligent in language study. Elder LeMone us also very funny! We have a
very similar sense of humor. It is a humor that a lot of people probably don't
understand, but we meshed way well by always having fun and working hard.
My new companion is someone I don't
know yet. I will be picking up a new missionary out of the Missionary Training
Center. Tonight we will take a bus back to Bangkok and I will go find out who
he is, and bring him back to Buriram in about 14 total hours haha. I'm gonna be
so tired, but whatever.
I am not going to be able to write a
lot this week because I have a LOT to do. During transfers, I also
received a call from the Mission President that I will be going go to Laos. Laos is a country bordering the
northeastern part of Thailand. It is a lot like Thailand, but just not as
developed. I will be going there and will start speaking an entire new language
called Laotian. I'm way excited to go, but I have 3 more months in Thailand
before I head out and during that time, I will do my very best to learn Laotian
as much as possible. I will spend the rest of my mission in Laos. Everyone who
reads my emails will definitely hear more on this in the future!
I love you guys!
