Mission Tour: Elder Evans is a Beast - 11/13/17

Hey Everyone! 

This week was way good. We had Elder Evans, who is a member of the Asian Area Presidency, come down and talk to us for Mission Tour on Tuesday. He's a way cool guy. He talked about a lot of good things. One of the things I liked a lot was about trying to get the youth here to go on missions. If the youth here don't go out on missions, then the church here won't be able to grow as it could. When the youth go on missions, they are strengthened in the gospel, learn the leadership skills to help the church grow, and show that Thailand really is ready for the incoming temple. 

Elder Evans also really emphasized actually talking WITH people instead of TO them, when we are inviting. Apparently this mission has been infamous in the past for just going up to everyone and asking them if they want to learn about Jesus, without taking the time to talk with them and show them love. That's one of the problems of having such massive, busy cities I guess. We also are beginning to do a lot more member work and it's let us get a lot of more referrals which are way solid.

On Sunday we had Stake Conference, which was also really great! President Johnson spoke about the importance of the Book of Mormon, and Elder Evans also gave a really good talk.

Today we had the opportunity to go to Dream World, which is an amusement park here. It was way fun! It was weirdly different from America though, because you can only go on each ride once without paying for extra times once you get in. There were a few rides that were actually really fun, but a lot of them were kinda ehhhh. 

It was a way good week! Elder Holland and Xaiyawong are still being beasts. The language is still killer, but I understand a looooot now. 

Miss and love you all! Keep being amazing!
