Study Study Study

OK wow so this week monday to thursday I basically just studied ALLL DAAY b/c my companion was knocked out on some muscle relaxers and pain killers from her accident... so my brain was a little fried this week, but it was still ended up being an awesome week! We were able to go out a few evenings while she was sick and got to teach some great people! And now she is great and back in action so i'm super excited for this week! We taught B. Art again and gave him a date!! YAY!!! I am seriously sooo excited for him! He is like golden investigator to the max!! He is always reading his scriptures and asking questions and just trying to learn. And we had a baptism this week for one of the Elder's investigators and Art came and we talked to him after for a bit and asked what he thought and such and he was just like, I'm just so excited to get baptized!! :D And on sunday at church i guess he was asking the elders a bunch of questions in priesthood about fasting, and commandments and such... so we're going to try and keep up with his pace, he is just moving so fast!! I love it!! This week we also got 2 more super great investigators, their names are Oo and Biim (sorry for the terrrriibblle romanizations of their names by the way) But they are a cute couple we met at English class that are super cute. Biim's mom is Christian so she is really curious about it, and Oo was funny b/c he began with asking what the commandments and stuff were (we immediately jumped to baptism) but then proceeded to tell us he really knows nothing about buddhism and such, and they are just both so interested. They came to church also and afterwards they asked US for a Book of Mormon and then they asked us if they could get a gospel doctrine book as well (b/c that's what we used in Sunday school)! And then we also found out that apparently they are our neighbors!! I guess they see our senior couple out all the time (that live across the street from us) and they recognized them after one of our lessons and found out they live in our little neighborhood!! So that's perfect as well!! Currently we are teaching/trying to teach 6 families in our tiny neighborhood and its going great so far! We're hoping to turn it into a little mini Utah and just have everyone be mormon! haha But anyways, we are super excited for them!! We also taught our cute little family: Guy, Gap, Gik and Goy! They are adorable... Gap is the one that reminds me SOOOO much of James, but he is adorable, he is always willing to pray for us and he came to church this week and was just sitting there reading his scriptures and such! He's awesome... and it was funny, in our lesson w/ them this week, at the end he asked us if next time we could bring the Elders with us to teach ( i think he was feeling a little out numbered by us, our sister member and his 2 sisters and mom.....) hahaha so that was funny... he met the elders at english class last week so that's how he know about them, but he is so cute and i am so excited for this cute little family! They're great!! Now for a little funny story... so in our investigator class for sunday school, we have a recent convert teaching and this week she was talking about how awesome it is that we have Elders and that they have the answers for EVERYTHING, and now God just gave them some little "helpers" aka the Sisters! AH! So now we have been demoted as missionaries to just the elders little helpers apparently.... hahaha me and my companion were trying to decide what was better, being the elders helpers, or the designated branch fellowshippers as we have also been called... thoughts? haha Another note for all you former missionaries... I never realized how "fun" fast and testimony meeting can be when you have investigators there! It is definitely a different experience sitting in the audience w/ your investigators and all the members getting up... I'm sure you missionaries probably understand this very well. But Church was great again we had 60 + people again which is AWESOME!!! We just need to get a real building now so that we can fit everyone!!! Hopefully that will come pretty soon!!! :) Ok, reason p-day is tuesday this week: We have our new mission president!!! YAY! So this weekend we went up to Chiang Mai to go meet him! He is super great! It's President Senior and his cute wife and they are great! They are super young! I believe Pres. Senior is about 51 and S. Senior younger. They are super happy to be here and i think i already told their story about their original call to North Carolina and then it being switched, but they were super cute about it and they are going to do great things for Thailand I can already tell!! We were all very impressed with his Thai speaking b/c he has only been learning for a little bit, but he sounds super good! But it was fun to go meet them (even if it did mean a 6 hour bus ride there and back on these buses that are made for tiny little thai people that blair thai kareoke the entire ride) it was great! So I think that's about it for this week! Let's see for a commitment i will challenge you all to study the scriptures for AT LEAST an hour every day but not just to read but actually UNDERSTAND the scriptures... it makes a big difference! Love you all and i guess have fun in Lake Powell?? Tell everyone I say hello!
