Hello
Family and Friends!
So, another
busy, missionary week as always. Last P-day, Sister Stevenson and I went around
the whole city looking at different shops. We ended up doing a lot of errands
and then having FHE at the church. It was nice to be with members, eating and
talking together. We had one investigator, Tree (yes, that is his name...) come
after the FHE so we could teach him. He's busy all the time and doesn't have
Sundays off. He is really interested though. He said that he's been searching
and looking at Christian churches and seeing which one is true/good for him.
When he met us, he thought it was true divine intervention. It was cool. But,
we couldn't meet him again that week and he couldn't come to church. :(
Oh, and
that investigator Naan that I talked about last week? Yeah, she disappeared off
the face of the planet. It was so bizarre. She didn't answer her phone at all.
I was a little disappointed. She was so prepared! She could have gotten
baptized yesterday!! Oh well... she will find a way back to the missionaries
again, I am sure. Apparently a lot of missionaries here in Thailand have experienced
the "golden-prepared-ready-to-be-baptized" investigator and having
them disappear into thin air. It's sad. But, it happens.
We worked
really hard this week. We met with some investigators but couldn't find any
members available to help us. I hope the two men we met with (Amnoy, and
tongchay) will find time in their schedule to got to church or meet with us
again. They seemed like good, solid guys. We shall see!
Also, I
have developed a tan... or a sunburn tan. It's pretty interesting. I thought I
would always remain pure white. Well, I was wrong. And, I am gaining all sorts
of muscles in my legs. I swear... I won't be able to fit into my skinny jeans
back at home. I had bought some cool Thai pants that were a "skinny"
style. My calves were too big for them and ripped the seams. Oops. What can you
do, right? Haha!

I'm tanning?? Or maybe I'm just
permanently burnt?

And yes, those are my disgusting feet.
It's what they look like by the end of the day. But check out the tan line!

Sunday was
nice and quiet. We unfortunately didn't have any investigators at church,
though. The mission goal to get 4 baptisms this month is starting to stress my
companion and I out. Our Zone Leaders wanted us to get at least 3 baptisms by
next week, too. Anything is possible, I believe that. Pray for Thailand!
Miracles can happen!
Anyway,
that is my week. I'm sorry this all sounds boring and uneventful. But, this new
week will be good. We will hit the streets again, get burned, and find new
investigators! All is well!
Love,
Sister
