Totally Predictable Transfers 555 - 4/4/18

Eating at a buffet

Spring in Bangkok - lol

 Random path with nice people who don't completely ignore us

Hello everybody!

It’s Elder Ridd! Your favorite person in Thailand. I hope that you've all had adequately สนุก​ weeks.

Let's seeeee, what happened this week...On Monday we ended up not getting our suits because we got a call saying that they weren't done yet, so hopefully they will be when we go to try and pick them up today. We mostly stayed at the church on Monday and played piano and stuff. Then we went and ate at a หมูกระทะ, a kind of buffet, with some members.

Sunday was Easter! That was pretty cool. It was kinda weird because a lot of Thai people, including those in the church, don't really know what Easter is or why it's important. So we were able to meet with a lot of people and talk about the Atonement quite a bit. We didn't watch General Conference this week, so I'll talk about that more next week after we watch it. 

A miracle we had this week was something that happened yesterday, actually. We had about 30 minutes before an appointment, so Elder Julander and I went out and walked down a few nearby streets. We saw a man just sitting at the park and we both felt prompted to talk with him. We kinda introduced ourselves and bore testimony about God's love for all of us. When asked if we could sit and continue talking with him, he said yes, which kind of surprised both of us, haha. The man's name was F and he was interested in how our church can help him and his family have more happiness in life. So we taught him a little more and also taught him how to pray. He was super down with everything and was excited to try and pray in his personal time. He seems like a really sincere and promising guy. So yeah, that was really cool. 

For transfers, not too much went down. Elder Julander and I are staying, Elder Pastores is staying, and Sister Tukuafu is staying and training a new person. Elder Decker and Sister Phiengsamai are both moving to Khon Kaen. So we will get Elder Hatch, who I've met like once, and some very new person. It should be interesting. Elder Decker's actually going to be companions with Elder Xaiyavong, which is pretty neat.

Well, I hope you all have great weeks! I love and miss you all!!! Keep being amazing, and cherish all of those words that the disciples of Christ spoke this past weekend!!

Love, 

Elder Ridd
