Dry.. มั้ง

*Note: Sorry, I'm very behind in posting. I kinda forgot.... Here's the past few.

October 30:
สวัสดีจ้า From Bangkok! Again.. its been 2 days... right? That was the fastest 2 days of my life. Seriously.. felt like a dream!

So President Smith has sent us back to proselyting full time.. kind of caught a lot of people off guard.. but hey! thats the beauty of being missionaries we gotta be flexible right? Right. So we are going back to the regular schedule for the time being.. who knows things could change in the coming week. We are still going to be looking for ways to serve and stuff, but for the most part, its back to finding, teaching and baptizing (which we were still doing while we were serving haha).

So this week admist all the chaos and the fun dirty serving.. yeah we went sand bagging.. we had a baptism! Sister Apple got baptized! She told her family.. no one came.. bummer. But she was happy as ever and it was a powerful, short sabbath at church. Only had 1 hour of sacrament and then the baptism. She gave a very a sweet testimony and it was.. well it was way powerful นั่นแหละ. She expressed extreme gratitude for the Lord and how He gave her her testimony despite the much stubborness she had given him along her learning expereience. She acknowledged gratefulness for the Elders and what we had done for her, but in the end, she knew and expressed that it was all the Lord.. exactly how it should be. The Lord is the ultimate teacher and we are just the conduit for her conversion; "who can glory too much in the Lord?". Although her family didnt come, they werent against it.. at least not vocally so that was good. But we are trying our best to get an appointment with her sister to just have a nice family home evening one night at their house.. FHE is great.. doesnt have to be long or super complicated.. just introduce her to the culture of the church and get her interested again int he family.. she has a little daughter her loves apple and actually wants to go to church really bad, just her mom wont let her haha.. But not for much longer!

Sister Nang is officially confirmed.. Ice isnt.. hahah he had to take an english test and didnt make it.. dummy ahha no worries. He made it for the baptism though and he was still doing well.. those funny slip ups are just a part of becoming a member of the church right อย่าตัดสินเขาเด้อ

As far as the rest of the service goes, everything is good. We had a lot of fun going over to this place called FROC... which stands for what ก็จําไม่ได้แล้ว i cant remember. But we got interviewed! haha.. it was on tv too. I dont know where you could possibly check it out, but everyone at church was saying that they saw it.. and a member may or may not have shown it to us already on his ipad.. (he did). Pretty handsome if i do say so myself. But it made me pretty impressed at how fast things fly across the internet these days.. that thing was on everyones facebooks by the end of the week.. within 2 days! Thats insane. I guess i didnt really realize what Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar and all these otehr people were talking about with the internet needing to be used for good until now. Share those testimonies "like it!".

Okay well this one was short, for obvious reasons.. love you all. Hope everything is well on your end.. everything is mostly on this one. Except for the water, and the flooding, and the dirtyness and the heat and the.. just kidding! We are fine. President and Sister Smith are taking good care of us. You got nothing to be worried about มั้ง. Have fun. Talk to you next week.

Love Elder Gudmundsen

PS: Missed you Sessions.. hopefully you can find your way back? เสียใจอย่างแรง
