Hey Everybody!
I
hope that you've all had great weeks this week! This week has been pretty
lowkey, so this email probably won't be too crazy.
We
had two baptisms on Sunday!!!! Yay!! Both of the people, Tavanh and Bouy, are
sooooo awesome. They have amazing faith and love the Lord so much. I'm so glad
that I've been able to work with them and will continue to get to see them grow
and progress in Christ's gospel.
English
class has been an interesting time like usual, haha. Sometimes it's fun,
sometimes you're so tired/bored of it that you don't wanna do it, haha. There's
been some interesting thoughts, comments, and ideas the past few months, but I
think this week might have had one of my favorites. When asked who their
favorite superhero was, one of our students responded with: Fidel Castro
hahahaha. He later changed his answer to the entire country of Cuba, but we had
another student offer up the famous communist Cuban as their favorite as well.
We also have had some other good answers, but Fidel Castro and the entire
country of Cuba being someone's superhero was a highlight. Needless to say, the
class was surprised when I chose Batman over a communist dictator. Oh well,
everyone has their own taste, I guess.
This
week we had a fun video call with the office Elders and the entire Udorn Zone
to talk about technology safeguards. One of the things that stood out to me was
the importance of good habits, as well as unity as a companionship and
district. I think these two things can be applied to a lot of things we do in
life as well. Also, unity is never bad when you're in a communist country with
the same 4 people for a year - hahaha. I'm glad though, cause these guys are
the best.
Let's
seeee, we had an English student take us out to eat at a strange chicken
restaurant that definitely might take inspiration from KFC. It's called PFC,
and it is nowhere close to the league that KFC is in. This English student is
one of our favorites. She absolutely loves all of these white guys who come out
to teach English here, so she kinda adopts them and calls herself our Lao mom.
She's funny. She sometimes invites us over to her house to eat these huge
feasts with her family. She is also a communist government official at the
border, so anytime we go in and out of the country she'll run down from her
office and say hi.
Well,
that's about all that I have for this week! Thank you all for you love and
prayers! I know that Heavenly Father loves and knows each of you personally! As
do I, but He takes it to a completely different scale.
You
are all amazing!
