Thailand has noooo idea what to do with their power lines, so they do this.

This week was awesome!

I had the opportunity to go on switch offs with one of my zone leaders this week, and I was with Elder Dugquem. He's an awesome missionary, and he was good friends with Lukas in the MTC, so it was super cool. We did a lot of contacting and got a lot of people's numbers. We also went to AKA, which is a kinda expensive all-you-can-eat, grill-your-own-food place. It was a pretty solid meal.

Another amazing thing this week was Zone Conference. It was really cool, and President Johnson is such a good leader. We talked a lot about using the Book of Mormon to its full potential in teaching, and how to make effective goals and plans for our investigators. We also talked a lot about making sure our attitude and desires match in order to be the best servants of the Lord we can.

Not too much else went on this week! Our investigator, G, is set on being baptized this Sunday and I think I'm going to be the one to do it, so that's pretty neat. One of our other investigators with a date, B, isn't too sure about his date anymore, because his family really wants him to become a monk so that they can receive blessings...classic Thailand problem, apparently. It was a super good week though, with lots of spiritual experiences! Miss you all and I hope you are all doing well!

Much Love,

Elder Ridd
