Week 7 Samut Prakaan

Dear Friends and Family

To be honest not much happened this week. This past week was transfers and we didnt get the call for who was leaving almost until Wednesday. So that kind of set just a few things back. Other than that we right on task. Elder Gage is still my companion and we got two new Elder Christensen who has been out for about almost 18 months and Elder Nelson who has been out for about 6 months. Its great Elder Gage will be able to be with me for another 6 weeks. He is a great missionary and does a lot to help me. He is patient with....lets just say everything. 

This past week we have gotten to meet with our Recent Convert Sister Booy and teach her all the lessons over again. She lost her phone so we have no way to contact her. So the other day we went to buy some food for fast Sunday and she calls us and says she is at the church. We hadnt set up an appointment with her so we were just a little confused. So we went to the church and found here there. A member who lives across the street from the church saw her and let her use her phone to call us. So then we just decided to have a lesson about some commandments and then right before we were about to teach her, we thought that watching Finding Faith in Christ was better. So we got that all sent up and then the member who lives across the street had a non member friend walk into the church. So then we decieded to have our RC help us teach this lady, so we taught her. This lady is just going on and on about how here kids are bad and how she has the dogs that bark all the time. If you ask me the dogs sounds like a personal problem. haha Anyways we taught her and she is now a new investigator. A funny string of events. It all led to something good though. 

We are also working with a investigator who is really good. he name is Nam. She keeps all her commandments and has quite drinking coffee, tea and beer and that is a big step for her. We plan on teaching her more until she is ready to be baptized. She doesnt really have the urge to yet but we will keep trying. Other than that we invited a lot this last week and we have worked with some LA( Less Actives) and have brought some back to church! Cant let any get away! ha

I also this past week I started the Book of Mormon over again. I read everything up until 1 Nephi. You can learn soo much just from reading that. If you havent had the chance to do so in a while I suggest that you take some time and read it. You will learn so much from it. I promise you. If you havent read the Book of Mormon yet I encourage you to do so. It will help you to have more happiness in your live I promice. Well I hope you all have a great week! Take care!

Love Elder Hinckley
