"I am emailing from Lopburi. Elder Bassett and Elder Nelson wanted to see the monkeys."
"I would have to say that it was a good week. We have about 11 investigators right now. That is way too many and we need to start baptizing them for sure. It seems like the people that we can get to church are the ones that progress the best as well. They have to wait three weeks to get baptized and waiting is so hard because it seems like so long. We will have about 4 or 5 baptisms this week, so that will be an awesome picture! I will also be baptizing this Sunday, finally after a year on my mission, so that will be really cool too. We were able to get 4 RCs to church this past week. That is a good
accomplishment. We had 110 people at church. We are growing a lot more
and we had about 15 investigators there too. That is really good and
more than we've had in awhile. I'm really excited for next week!"
"Not really much has happened. We were told by the ward council that we need to have a new activity for the RCs and members to get to know eachother. We decided to all chip in and buy a ping pong table. Ok, so I admit that it was kind of for us missionaries, but we gave it to the church, so we'd have some kind of sport there. We also bought a bunch of random games to play on Fridays at the activities. This Friday was a big hit. We had a ping pong tournament and Bannakorn killed everyone! haha"
"Oh yeah, so on Sunday at ward council the topic of flirting came up out of nowhere and everyone just looks at me! I spoke out and said, "Don't you dare look at me. I do not flirt!" The members just gave me a look like, yepp sure. So I defended myself and said, "I don't!" Then they said that they knew I didn't but that I needed to be really careful because they have had many people ask about who the guy with the hair like mine and really good looking was. I just said that I was really sorry about that but I couldn't help it. Then they all started talking about how I was the best looking missionary they have had in a long time. haha That's right I am! haha It was a little embarrassing though. Well that's basically it for this week. I'll have great pictures for you next week!"
