(Sorry for being behind with Elder Chanthakhoun's blog)
Hello Hello! Here's the rundown of this previous week's adventure and excitement
Monday
Today, we went back to อดศก to get our suits fitted and to get all the necessary preparations to sure that they'll be absolutely perfect within two weeks. They are looking nice so far. After that, we played about a hour of ping-pong and head off to S.นก and S. เบี้ย's house for this awesome Japanese-style hotpot dinner. Delicious!
P.S. The other elders ate two peppers straight up. One was crying and the other was vomiting. Elder Boonmee and I then preceded to hi-5 and shouted ว่า "Yes, we R smaartt!
Tuesday
Today, we had ice cream and taught English.
Wednesday
Today, the weather was apparently eating too many peppers or something because it was raining off and on like crazy. It was raining the entire time we were eating lunch. We had an appointment with S. ธนพร as well, but we have to walk over there because we are prohibited to use taxi unless if it's really necessary. However, on our way there, we encountered a street that was completely flooded because Thailand doesn't have the greatest sewage system. We try to parcore our way across, but it was impossible, so in the end we eventually made it to her house, with soaked shoes and soaked pants. Anyways, we taught her the Plan of Salvation. She accepted everything, but she needs to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it.
Thursday
Today, we had the opportunity to visit B. นัท and read Ether 12 together. After that, he talked more about his experience of the church before he came inactive. So, he's an interesting piece of opinion that I personally have. Most people who fall away don't really have a concern for the doctrines of Christ. It's usually social concerns. For B. นัท, in his old ward, people that come into the church is about equal the people who fall less-active. Eventually, the ward will be completely different within a month or something. For this Brother, it came to a point that no one at the church knew who he was anymore. They all thought was just another investigator. So, if you want have people stay at our church, give them a friend to talk to. After wards, we taught the Restoration to S. พัก and B.กบ. They received well, that they acted strange, like ehhhhhh. But, they are still interested. Then, we watched the Restoration DvD with S. แจม and the rest of the youth.
Friday
Today, we got to see S. น้อย and น้องชน again, where we watched the Restoration DvD. After that, we talked to S. ใจ.
Saturday
Today, we had the special opportunity to have FHE at S. แนน's house, where we drank iced cocoa, read from the Liahona, and watch some church videos. Then, we traveled to อใศก for Stake Conference.
Sunday
We traveled with S. อ้อ and B. นัท to this really fancy hotel for part two of Stake Conference. After that, I saw my cousin in person for the first time. It was really neat because I was not expecting to see her there. Right now, she is going to school to get a Masters in Economics. After that, we went back to the church for lunch and that's about it for the day.
Well, thats all for this week, see ya next week!!!
P.S. Send me pics ^u^
