The Solo Elder of the Thailand Bangkok Mission - 12/25/17

Bangkhae Christmas party
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!

I hope you have all had an amazing Christmas week!!!!!

This week has been a very interesting week. It started off pretty normally. Elder Xaiyavong and I met with a lot of our investigators and got to know them some more. Then Elder Xaiyavong started to get some news that his dad hasn't been doing too well lately. He has been fighting cancer for awhile and hasn't been in the best shape. Elder Xai got permission to be able to go to Laos and spend some time with his family and his dad for awhile. He will probably be gone for about 2 weeks and return after that. 

Soooooo, as for me, I am now technically kind of a solo missionary. I am living with the Bangkhae elders and get passed around their companionships. I will continue to do some work in Thonburi on Sundays and a few other days, but I will mostly be in Bangkhae. This started on Saturday and I've mostly been with Elder Hunt and Elder Eckersley, who are way awesome. We had a fun church Christmas party in Bangkhae. Then, on Sunday, I went back to Thonburi with Elder Eckersley and we got some good work done there. It should be an interesting time while Elder Xaiyavong is gone, but I'm looking forward to working with some great missionaries. 

I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas!! I invite all of you to try to emulate the Savior's example and look for opportunities to serve others. Also, if you could pray for Elder Xaiyavong's dad and his family, that would be amazing!

Love and miss you all!
