Thailand Week 83: Udon

Prayer

สวัสดีครับ อาทิตย์ทีแล้วก็มีมีหลายๆสิ่งที่ได้เกิดขื้น ได้มีการประชุมโฃน ได้สาัมภาษณ์กับประทานจอนสัน :)

Typing in Thai is really hard. Hahah. I'll stop there for now.

This past week, I felt really inspired about prayer.

In preparation for Zone Conference, Elder Lovelock and I initially planned to teach about Unity/Goals. But after praying and pondering for several days, we both felt that although it was a good topic and would be a great training, it wasn't needed. The day before Zone Conference, we threw away our plans and changed it to something else... Personal Revelation. Specifically through personal prayers.

Preparing for Zone Conference has led me to remember the great importance of prayer. Being stuck for a while, not really knowing what to train on... we knelt down and offered up our prayers of our hearts. It gave me the opportunity to really evaluate my prayers and see what I lack on. I came to realize how much of a blessing it is to receive revelation, for our personal growth. It was something that we wanted the missionaries in our Zone to evaluate themselves. :) 

I know that we have a literal Father in Heaven. He is always listening to our prayers, and He will always answer through His scriptures and personal revelation. I know that He loves us more than we could ever understand. But we are able to understand the magnitude of His love as we study about His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

This past Sunday, I was able to speak in sacrament. It's been the first time I have ever given a talk in Thailand. I was nervous, but it was an amazing opportunity. :) I'll have to prepare for my homecoming talk someday. Haha.

I love you all. The missionary work is still going well. We are hoping to see some of our investigators enter the waters of baptism soon. :)

Life is good. It's always good.
