Oops - I missed posting one. This is from March 28.

So... Brother Yong rocked it! One of the sickest kids ever! One who GETS IT. Look back on it.. we met this kid 4 weeks ago.. he got baptized yesterday. His desires were true, his intent was true, and his faith was strong. Moronis promise is so simple, but so difficult at the same time... for some people. Brother Yong got his answer within the first 3 lessons. Yesterday was very special.. we had 2 more souls come into the fold: Yong from our Area and a sister named Noy from the Citys area. It was great.. and the spirit was on fire because we had all our members there! This is why i like baptisms on sunday.. because the members got to the see the baptismal service. We had a jump in the number of people at Church.. which is a good thing.. they are trying to separate The City's area from the Warin area.. but they need 120 people going to church for 6 months.. its a roller coaster.. some weeks 100 and others 70.. including missionaries and investigators (which is about 20). Its a work in progress. Anyway.. Brother Yong was a Monohan yesterday! He barely stood up to bare his testimony and he was already balling! Sorry Monohans.. you know i love you :)     He bore strong testimony of the power of pray and his relationship with God that hes just now discovered.. he explained how there are few people in the world who really understand us... when we ask a question, they hear something else. But when i talks with God, He understands his feelings and his life gets better. Its crazy to describe.. but hes just so fantastic. We will give him a copy of Preach My gospel this week too. Other thing that was sweet was that Brother Somchay was one of the speakers at the service.. haha he was so nervous! But he did a good job.. one thing that was... "interesting": He held up Preach My Gospel and some of the members faces has this "what the heck is that" look on their face.. dangit! Thats like me before my mission! Everyone needs that book! Anyway... Church was quite the tear fest.. Sister Natcha (one of the Thai missionaries here.. also one of the best) is dying this wednesday (finishing, going home!) and she bore her testimony.. it was very powerful and made me... reflect a lot. Ill probably explain on a later day :)  Anyway, many people cried haha.

Sorry today i dont have a lot of time, but i dont have a lot pictures.. ill send em next week. I didnt get the birthday package cause i havent gone to Bangkok yet! We're going on wednesday.. yeah! A train again! This will be the first american companion in 6 months... at least im pretty sure it will be an American.. if i get a 3rd thai companion in a row?! Holy snikes! Thats like un heard of! But either, it will be a good change (hopefully). Elder Tom is going zone leader! Woot.  

Hey i gotta go.. sorry this was short.. i have a headache and am very tired from soccer.. we won though, thats what matters haha. Jk. Okay im outa here.. thanks for the love and support. By the way, we felt nothing from the Earthquake.. it hit bangkok cause they have huge buildings.. but our in Ubon, we felt nothing. Kinda scary no? Bunch of stuff going on with this here planet. Its the end! Everyone get your looting clothes ready! Just kidding.. but seirously?
