November 8:
Yay! I have a true companion for the first time in over 2 weeks! Thats kinda nice. And guess who... Elder Furr! Woot woot! We've been prophesying this companionship since way back in don muang! He was in my district then, and then we separated for about a year, and then he was my zone leader back in ubon and now hes my companion! Totally sweet. We pretty much knew it was going to happen and so we met up, without planning this, by wearing the same tie that we had bought way back in don muang. Yeah. Talk about companionship unity!
So hows everything been going right? Good i guess.. crazy as can be of course. Taught like 4 lessons last week.. that was weird. Had to pick up an Elder from out in the Easan cause hes been having weight problems.. flew in to go the President Smith's doctor and since i didnt have a companion, i got to go.. yay. That was a fun night.. actually i am kidding, it was way boring.. he had to drink 2 liters of exlax.. yeah, 2 liters! Thats a lot. He was in the bathroom for 3 hours! And then the rest of the week was running around with this person, with this companionship, with the APs.. kinda gettin old already! But hey, gotta be flexible of course. Yesterday we didnt email because pday didnt exist.. thought i was gonna pick up Elder Furr at 830 in the moring and then go have studies and pday.. yeah that didnt happen! Elder Komgrid called and put me in charge of the greenies that needed to renew visas.. haha good thing i had no clue where the place was and no idea what to do when i actually got there! Stress yayayayay!
As far as the flooding goes.. i dont really know much any more to be honest! Its still flooding all around us, but im still not seeing it in our area yet. Soon.. im sure. Asoke is central bangkok so all churches and wards around it are closed and so a lot of people are coming to asoke.. its been nice to see some familiar faces. Asoke is pretty much encamped on all sides... one district in our zone is all out of their areas and in ours again, another district is couped up in 1 house and area... the zone next to us is evacuated.. the zone on the other side is starting to evacuate.. haha! Its for fun. And next week, amidst all the craziness, we have a nice mission tour with Elder Gong. He spoke last April about the temple mirrors to eternity.. i think that was the title of his talk. It was way good. Yay! My first zone conference. Should be fun. Especially cause we dont have to do much.. Elder Gong is planned to lead a new role play and give a superb talk. Stoked.
So sorry there wasnt really that much to talk about today.. not that much happened, or at least not that much that i can remember. Apple, Ice and Nang are all confirmed and doing well.. great members and being faithful. Apple and her sister are working some kinks out.. shouldnt be very hard. Nong has his date for the 27th now and we are really pushing to get him a new place to stay. We are trying to get out and find a bunch of new investigators since we are kinda dry right now.. hahah, pun intended. Just as an update of current ivnestigators.. we met 3 really nice cambodians who came here together to study medical school... they are great. First question, not even kidding, "why do we have to be baptized?". Elder Furr and i were talking about the lesson.. pretty much every question they asked was straight from out of Preach My Gospel under the section on "The Book of Mormon answers questions of the soul." Pretty epic.
We met a nice family who are pretty young but they have 2 adorable kids.. 1 of them is super afraid of us haha.. she will cry and cry until she is taken from the room hah. The other little guy just is interested in everything and stares for a long time. Love em.. they are we nice and said they would come to church for sure.
Okay well im ove rit.. hungry and bored hahaha.. you know i love you. Thanks for your support and your prayers.. i feel em. The mission is a little crazy right now, but we are staying on top of things. Im super stoked to work with Elder Furr.. we have been fortelling this for a while.. gonna be fun.
Love you all,
Elder Gudmundsen
