How are you all doing?
It's been an amazing week. The Zone has improved tremendously this past week. We all focused on praying for the district's goals as well the Thailand Bangkok Mission's goals. Everyone has mentioned that they feel more unified within the district, zone, mission, and with God. The Lord is amazing.

MLC was great. It was super fun being able to go down to Bangkok. We get to fly planes! That's fun. I think I've gotten used to the take-off/landing already. :) In MLC, some things that stood out to me was... We should work towards being a leader that is admired, not envied. We should help others by inviting others to "Do what I do", not "Do what I say". We should be work towards lasting change, not just cosmetic change. It was great to read the scriptures together and realize how great Jesus Christ was as a leader. He is the way. After MLC, we were able to hang out in Bangkok for the rest of the night until the next morning (Since the tickets were cheaper in the morning). So we took the opportunity to visit Elder Lovelock's RC's. It turns out, they are my RC's as well! We met up with Sister Ben and Sister Apple from Lopburi. But moved to Bangkok for work. :) What a miracle.
We are still working with Brother Ohm. :) He's doing good. We've been trying to meet up with his family beforehand... but haven't been able to. We are going to try again this week to meet up with them and try introduce the gospel to them. :)
Remember Sister Oay? (อ้อย). I don't know if I talked about her before. She was an investigator that Elder Sydyk and I found on our switch-off here in Udon. We taught her (she has learned with the missionaries before), and after teaching her... we requested her phone number... and realized that she called us, 4-5 days ago. I remember talking to her on the phone, she asked for a specific missionary... I thought she was a member, so I didn't ask a lot about her. It was a miracle. Well, last Saturday, we taught her the Restoration. It was such a powerful lesson. Joseph Smith's First Vision is truly an amazing experience. At the end of the lesson, she committed to a date and to go to church the following day. She loved church.
We also met up with Sister Ganjana (กาญจนา) whom is Sister Ming's (หมิง) mom. She's doing amazing. She has made tremendous changes in her life. She has given up her เทียวing on Sundays, and made the decision to go to church instead... for all three hours. :) She has packed her idols away in boxes a couple weeks ago. This past Friday, she decided to start moving those boxes out of the house. Elder Lovelock and I have noticed that these changes has been possible because she has been praying and reading the Book of Mormon everyday. She has also been impressed of how much her daughter has been supporting her on her journey of understanding. :) Sister Ganjana also loved church.
The Lord has been so good to us. I know that this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His Church. It has been restored by a loving Father in Heaven through Joseph Smith. I know that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God. By studying and asking of God, I know that the Book of Mormon is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
We played soccer again this morning. It was fun. I think I got sunburnt.
LOVE YOU ALL!
