i'm gonna date him before i leave

HAAPPPYYY BIIIRRTHHDAAY LIIINNNKKIIIINN!!!!! (and J.Dee and Carly too :) ) Is link really 2 already!??! I don't believe that at all!!!!!! I hope you have a great b-day party for him and i want pictures!!! haha and Hope J.dee and Carly both had great birthdays too! :) Anyways so this week was another great week in Thailand! I will start with brother Ooh. He. is. awesome. So first off we were able to move his baptismal date to Sept. 1st :) yay!! he is soooo ready to be baptized, if it were up to me he would be baptized today! haha But this week he also introduced us to his mom so we have been able to teach her too! And she is just as awesome as him! Its funny b/c when we begin teaching her she just looks so tired (b/c she works all day) but then by the end of the lesson she is so alert and just excited asking a bunch of questions and such! and we committed her to be baptized as well! I am sooo excited for them and their entire family! There are 2 more brothers that we still haven't had the chance to teach yet but we are hoping to meet with them here in the next couple weeks! I just love seeing how much the gospel helps people! Ooh has just progressed SOOOOOO much and you can just tell he is so much happier to know these things! We also mentioned a little bit about missionary work w/ him and i think he is interested in serving a mission too! not positive, but he kept asking questions about it and such, so we'll see! He would be such a great missionary! Last night we were teaching his mom and i was struggling SOO bad (i am a little under the weather) so when his mom couldn't understand me he would just explain everything and do it way better than I could!! haha He is just so great! And his girlfriend Biim is still doing good, she is not progressing quite as fast as Ooh and we still need to get permission from her mom to baptize her, but she is still so great! She comes with great questions and he faith is definitely building :) Ok now for Gap! WOOW he is awesome too!! So we visited w/ him and were just catching up on his reading and such and we asked him, so where are you in the BoM... and he was like Mosisah 20 something.... so we got all confused b/c last time we talked to him he was in Alma... so then he was like, "oh yea i finished the whole thing already... i'm on my 2nd time through!!!" WHHHAAAATTT?!??! Who is this kid right!?! Goodness he is sooo great!!! He just loves to learn and wants to be baptized! And although he wasn't able to make it to church yesterday (it was thai mothers day) he asked us if we would come over after church anyways b/c he wanted us to teach him!!! AHHH!! Now we just need to get the rest of his family progressing as fast as him!! hahaha But they are all still doing good! This week we talked to B. Art about missionary work and it was so good! He has some concerns about money and such but I just know he is going to go! He has been helping the Elders teach like every single day and they keep telling us how great he is and that he just has the best advice and is just so helpful! I know he is going to be such a great missionary i can't even wait!!! This week is my Companions last week in Thailand so we have also been spending lots of time w/ members and less actives and such and it just makes me so happy b/c we really just have the best members and investigators and just everything here is soooo great!!!! It's really weird to think i am going to be getting a new companion on thursday... and a little bit scary! I am semi terrified that I am going to get a thai companion and we aren't going to be able to communicate at all... b/c although i have learned a lot the past few months.. i am still lost 65% of the time! hahaha But i know whoever i get will be what i need! haha Now for the funny/awkward moment of the week... So me and my companion were talking to S. Harris (the senior sister in our district) and we were talking about our member, S. Mink and her parents and how they just need to be baptized... so we were talking about her dad and i said... ya i'm going to date him before i leave ! (as in give him a baptism date) but S. Harris just heard it as in i want to date him before i leave and just went off saying "Well S. Itri, I don't think that's too appropriate is it?" hahaha the best part is she is from England so now picture that with a British accent and you have one of the funniest moments this week! haha I dont really know what else to say other than i just LOOOOVVEEE being a missionary!!! and even if i don't understand everything all of the time I can just feel the testimonies of all these amazing people and see their desire to change and it is just so awesome!!!! Hope everything is great at home! Love you! Love, ซ. อิตรี
