We got to go to a Buriram soccer game with some of the people we are teaching and some of the members of our church!
It was a total blast!
I got to eat some interesting foods.
Buriram beat Lambang 4-1 ANNIALATION
There was a sick sunset right in front of us.
This soup is called
ก้วยเตี๋ยวน้ำตกหมู (geuy diaw Nam thok Moo) it translates to waterfall pig soup. It was so good too.
We went to a cool night market to eat dinner and invite people to hear of Christ.
It was way fun.
They also had this awesome fountain.
Today I did my first sewing that I have ever done in my life. I sewed up a hole that popped up in my sock. My mother was so proud of me.
Ether 12: 27 in Thai. Love that verse. It has literally changed my life. Here it is in english:
And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
On P-day, Elder Llanera and I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and we hiked up this mountain to watch the sun rise. It was so so beautiful.
There was a concrete slide and I tried to ride down it, but it didn't work, so I just ran down it instead.
I got to help one of the young members when he was having a really hard day. He posted this on his Facebook story and it made me really happy.

My Letter:
Just another great week in Buriram! This week was extremely busy, and I am so tired. It is all worth it though. Every time I think of all the good we are doing to help others, I am filled with energy to keep going.
So we changed our P-day this last Monday to Wednesday so that we could go to a Buriram soccer game. It was so SO FUN! I'm so thankful that our Mission President said we are allowed to go! Buriram is also one of the best soccer teams in all of Thailand, so that makes it even better. Buriram beat Lambang 4 to 1. We also got to go to the game with a few members and investigators, so that was really fun strengthening our relationship with them.
I was kind of sick this last Monday. It was really hard to do anything because I had a raging headache, but I prayed and was able to work my hardest until it was night.
So it is getting hard to write in my journal every day at the end of the day because I just keep getting more tired, and having more responsibility. I had a goal at the beginning of my mission to write in my journal every day, so every single day I have wrote a full page in it for 376 days, and I was about to change my goal to be just a half page a day. I was about to just stop at the half page in my journal, and then I just thought, "What the heck! Why would I just stop now if I haven't finished what I initially started?" I got mad at myself and repented because I want to finish the goals that I make. I wrote the whole page that day.
I know that might sound a little bit cheesy, but I think it is not just that fact that I would be writing less in my journal, it is the fact that I wouldn't have finished my goals and things I strive for. It is honestly very hard to write in my journal every day, but I am going to do it because later on it will give me more confidence to finish those things I want to do.
I had my last switch off with Elder Siebert that I will have on my mission. I is such a good missionary. I hope in the future I will have a strong knowledge of the scriptures as he does. He know SO much. When I was riding back to Buriram from our switch off, I think I was on the squeekiest bus I have ever been on in my life. Im sorry I can't describe it any further, but I really hope they are able to give that bus a bath in WD-40 some time in the near future.
I was talking to a kid named Fresh who is a way cool member here in Buriram. He is about 14 years old, and he was just asking me a ton about how he can be a better son and how he can do better to follow Jesus Christ. It was a way good talk and now he keeps telling me about how excited he is to be a missionary in the future! It made me way happy when he told me his desire of doing that.
I hope everyone's week is good one!
-Elder Barron
