WE SURVIVED TRANSFERS.... none of us in Chiang Rai moved... we kind of wanted a new district leader because he is just not fun to serve with but whatever... We all survived AND I got mommas package! woo hoo... Star wars shirts are bosses...
A little shout out to the babes that finished the half marathon a couple weeks back. I can barely make a block without dying.. i can't imagine 13.1 miles.... You are my hero tyler and Jess.... Also I keep forgetting every week to mention but how the trash is conner 2 already? I swear I was just holding that little chicken nugget and playing with his hair!
Remember this from last week? "Found one new investigator walking around central last week. Most prepared person of my entire mission. Loves the things we teach. Loves the gospel. Loves everything. Yesterday he calls us that morning and asks if he needs to wear white underwear for his baptism. We had to remind him it was next week. It was so crazy how we found this guy. We were both going to get a dairy queen ice cream because we are fat and we were tired. And this guy walks up to the side of us and we both said. "Hey want to wash away your sins?" and he was like. Woah. Yes. Where when? Then we met with him and he is just gold. 30 years old. Great opportunity for priesthood. We are too happy. He also brought his mom on sunday and she is just as golden as him. We are just in awe of miracles pouring out in Chiang Rai." ?????
Yeah... this guy... Brother Nung got baptized yesterday. He was the most prepared person I've ever met. We went to his house on friday with members and cooked with his family. His aunt was sooo intrested and his mom was just pure gold as well. This kid has given us so many refferals... Just by going to get some ice cream at dairy queen 10 days ago this guy was baptized yesterday. Just amazing. And his family is forever changed by it. He gets the aronic priesthood on sunday and probably will baptize his mom after church is over... It's literally just a miracle. Blessing and a miracle. We are going to go up to his house and convert his entire village. Buddist but because of Nung they all are intrested in Christianity.
Another SERIOUS miracle. When an investigator is late to an appointment you usually go and contact while you wait for them. Well chiang Rai is just the tiniest area and the church is by no where. So we don't really do that. Well the other day there was tons of traffic in front of the church and so we decided to go and stop motorcycles that were passing by....dangerous? the members thought so but it was fine because yes......... I was in front of sister HOlmes and she was behind me and we were just trying to stop anyone that was willing to listen... well in about 1 minute flat a guy pulls over for both of us. (Also he was the last dude in the line, NO one at the end of the line accepts what you say because just a million people rejected you) anyways. He pulls over. He tells us he is already christian. (Only in chiang Rai that ever happens) And he tells us he lives like 40 minutes away and we were like. well. okay... but we wanted to really just teach someone because we love it. And so we drag him into the church for a 5 minute church tour. Thankfully we had a member there. He tells her he is already christian.. yeah yeah yeah. No worries. Don't care just follow us. Haha. so we take him to see the baptismal font and ask him if he has been baptized. He tells us he hasn't. We bear this insane testimony of the truth of our message and tell him WHEN he gets baptized and stuff like that. And give him a date for the 6th of July... And then he turns to our member and tells us he thinks he will go to church tomorrow with us. We are pumped. He accepts the baptismal date. Shows up at church yesterday. LOVES it. Has so many friends.... and he is getting baptized next week..... MIRACLE
Last week we did yard work for an LA.... Refferal BAM another baptism next week. he is there family and he is 11.... and that little boy went to church. We also had some more miracle babies at church yesterday.... We are just soooo excited... I don't want to jinx it but we are hoping this transfer is the transfer of miracles....
We are excited to be here again.... 5 and a half more weeks to blow up the area.... super excited. I also almost got railed by a motorcycle this morning..... That was insanly scary. haha. i don't know how I missed that... But angels have wings... Made my heart beat a bit. But oh well. Now i'm here....with the runs.....
Other than that. I love my life... Seriously.... Miss you all... I hit my one year mark in country.... I'm pretty much dead..... but I've come to accept it and just you know... sprinting to the end untill I fall dead..... Love you guys alot.
