Week 8 Bang Khae

Dear Family and Friends

When your investigators find out for themselves that what you have been teaching is true you get a sign of relief. That happened this last week. Last Monday we met with Sister You-Gee. We have been teaching her for over a month now. We told her that we would watch the Restoration video with her the week before but never got to it. We got to it Monday though. After watching the video she tells us,"Mormon is true. I felt it myself the Mormon is true." A sweet feeling of joy and peace came over me and I was just so happy! She went on to tell us that every time she comes to church she feels great! After she told us these things I then asked,"What's next?" She said,"I have to keep the commandments." That is what I like to hear. She doesnt have a baptismal date yet but we are still working on that. It's not when we want it, it's when she wants it. I love my missionary experiences! 

Another one of our investigators is having a hard time with her job. Her boss is a old lady who just bosses her around all day is what she says. We have been trying to help her find another job somewhere else because in a few days she is just going to leave it's so bad. One day we went to meet her in a park and she sat down to talk. She went on for a while just venting I guess you could say. All we did was listen to what she wanted to say. She doesnt really have anyone to vent these things to. Her job is all day every day. I felt as if we were like Jesus Christ in that moment. We just listened to everything she wanted to get off her chest. That is a Christlike quality right there. Doing the things that Christ would do is what we should do all the time. That is who we are, representatives of Jesus Christ! 

This last Saturday we started our fast like normal. I fasted for our investigators and for miracles. If you fasted for our investigators thank you very much. We didnt think that any of our investigators would show up today because they told us that they couldnt make it. Some of our investigators came today and together with the sisters we had 10 investigators at church!! Yeah!! The sisters had a baptism today which was great and their investigator asked me if I would baptize her. I thought, well she doesnt even know me. Okay well if this is what she wants okay. So yesterday I baptized someone ha! Also we had about 6 less actives return to church! One of the less actives was giving the priesthood as well which was awesome! 

Our investigators are:Tin, Bon, You-Gee, Gaab and her family, Poon, Om, Mote, Eggy, Sunny and his family. Please pray that we will find new investigators this week. 

I am sorry this is short again this week! I am seeing so many miracles just about every day! The Lord works is mysterious ways!! I love it! I will not have another P Day until the 14th of this month so I will not email on Monday. 

Love

Do not take another step!

It takes many steps to worship.

Sacred Buddahs.

Visiting a mosque.

Elder Hinckley and his companion, Elder Hartung. A little too serious.

Won traveled all the way to Bang Khae to see Karsten and have a fun P-day with him.

Elder Hinckley to see his Royal Highness.  Actually, it's a wax museum.
