Awesome Week in Thonburi - 9/18/17

The elephant was apparently about 90 years old and very hairy.


Hey everybody!!!

This letter is coming super late in the day, because we decided to go to Ayutthaya early this morning. It takes about an hour and a half to get there, and it's north of Bangkok. It used to be the capital of Thailand until it got absolutely ravaged by Burma, so there's tons of temples everywhere. We went from the elders from Bangna, which included a few guys from my MTC group, so that was cool. 

This week was pretty great. We have a bunch of baptismal dates for October 1st, including one really cool investigator who started bringing her friend to church too. We found a new group of Pakistan people, but I don't know how promising they look.  Understanding people here is stilllll super sketchy, but I think that it's getting better. This week has been pretty busy with lots of appointments everywhere, but there were also a bunch of people who didn't show up to any appointments and just fell off the face of the earth.

We had to do a bunch of random paperwork for everyone who was baptized in the last year that hadn't been done yet, so that was a good time. Pretty much it's been a pretty tame week.

Oh yeah, today in Ayutthaya I got to lay down with a tiger and chill with an elephant, so that was pretty neat! It was a good week this week!

I miss and love you all so much! I hope you are all having great weeks!

Love you!

The huge white temple is Wat Aruna in Bangkok, most of the rest are from Ayutthaya
PSA: The tiger was definitely inhumanely kept​, but I tried to make it feel better with hugs.
