Zone Conference, Stake Christmas Party, and My Day as a Dad - 12/11/17

Hey Everybody! 

I hope you all have had a great week this week! This week was really busy! On Wednesday, Elder Xaiyavong had to go to Asoke for district leader training with the district leader from Bangkhae, so I was here in Thonburi with with his companion who just got to Bangkok last week. So I was his dad for a day! His name is Elder Eckersley and he's way cool. We had a way solid day. 

The next day was Zone Conference. It was way fun! We did a white elephant gift exchange, and I was able to get a Burmese skirt because the elders from Burma were there too. It was Christmas-themed and really fun. We got to watch The Best Two Years, which is actually a highly accurate movie. 

Saturday was the stake Christmas party. It was way cool because so many people went. I sang with the Thonburi ward and also with the missionaries. 

This week was way cool because I got to see a lot of my friends here in Bangkok and it helped us all get really into the Christmas spirit. Because Thailand is super hot and 96% Buddhist, nobody really does anything for Christmas. It was nice to get into the Christmas mood and get centered on everything that Christ has done for us. 

I hope you all have a great week this week! I miss and love you all!
