The flood is FINE. Im NOT underwater! We are 33 floors above ground level and have plenty of Ramen Noodles.. i think we will be okay! If we arent and end up underwater, well, I think you will have fun time locating Thailand.
Okay so as for things of great importance.............. I dont get letters! Whats that about!?! oves it.
Now for real things.. investigators!
Sweet week... this coming sunday, as long as everything goes as planned, which it should, we will have 3 baptism.. woot! Ice, Nang and Apple.
Lets start with Apple.. so shes been receiving the lessons since March.. yeah you think thats long enough? Id say so. Shes had a testimony but shes always been puting baptism off because she wants a "extremely clear answer." She says the same thing over and over again, even though she acknowledges the very clear fact that she is mormon already.. one of her best friends is one of the ward misionaries too, so its been a long time coming. Yesterday we layed it down for her.. basically told her to stop making so much excuses and just do it.. she has her answers and furthermore, telling God that he isnt anwering clearly the way she wants him to shows an extreme lack of faith, and she wont get the answer shes looking for that way. She got down and prayed.. for 10 minutes. Cried.... shes getting interviewed on wednesday! Yay.
Next is Nang.. yeah i dont even know what to say, shes so legit. Kinda ridiculous how willing she is to do EVERYTHING. Most people tat each with us expect her to have concerns about what we teach and then speak for forever and a year about what she already understands and is willing to do... then she stops them and says I will do it already! Yeah.. legit. Shes getting interviewed tomorrow. Yes, yes, yes. Baptism. Love it.
Then theres Ice of course.. good as ever. Hes super funny. Ready. willing.. diligent. Hes getting more and more friends at Church, but hahh.. hes in the other area. We're over it.. hes already interviewed and passed. That was elder heftels first interview.. he had fun.. forgot the keys to the Church hahah. chill. Ice likes our shrts. i told him about the website.. do we still sell or what?
Anyway, we had another opportunity to serve the people who are getting flooded up north in th other provinces. Its cool to see people rallying together. What else happened.. we had exchanges... I got to excange with Elder Seymour, hes from San Diego! Hes Elder Newmans kid! So sweet. Hes the nicest guy ever and is always your best friend and just.. ah, hes great. You will meet him at my homecoming.. wait, did tat sound trunky? No! Hes dead in 6 months. But that exchange was way fun.. it was a bummer cause we taught 2 referrals who all happen to be in other areas... i dont KNOW where anything is, so when they tell me im just like... uh, is that close by? No? Oh.. dangit. well lets sit down and talk! Lame. They were all pretty good though.. one of them was in our area and is the boyfriend of a girl getting baptized in Elder Wagstaffs area.. yeah and he introduced us to his family. sweet! The dad is way funny.. his name is Tog. He just has a funny accent and he cant see haah.. we showed him the Book of Mormon and he did tha thing where he squints super hard and moves his head back away from it... haha! Then he just exclaims.. "ooh the letters are so small!". We are meeting them tomorrow.. wait, no thats today.. do i lose track of time? Maybe.
Alright well im bored already.. writing is kind of burden now hahh.. just kidding (maybe).. i do love you al.. tanks for your sacrifices.. those mispelling errors are the keyboards fault.. and it totaly looks like asian writing.. im ust over hitting this back space key because this keybaaord is soooo bad! There were a lot of things this week, subtle things, that continue to confirm my testimony of the truthfulnes of this work.. ah man! its so awesome!
Peace!
Elder Goodman
