Switch offs

Hello Family!!! Well things this week were a little crazy!!! We had switch offs this week and then we had district conference in Chiang Mai! So I guess I will start with switch offs. I stayed in Phitsanulok and S. Stolworthy came down from Chiang Mai on Thursday. It was a lot of fun to see her again! She came in a transfer before me so we spent some time in the MTC together so it was fun to work with her! But it was also SOOOOOO nerve racking b/c neither of us are super good at the language and i knew that i would have to be leading the area and teaching the majority of the lessons b/c she doesn't know any of the investigators and such so I was scared! But it ended up being way good! I did a lot more than I thought I could. Everything was very simple and basic but it we got through it! haha And we were able to set a goal for B. Jack to be baptized! YAAAAYYY!!! I am so excited for him! It was also a suupperr crazy day on friday b/c we were trying to get some of our members and investigators to go up to chiang mai for district conference and it was just such a head ache trying to figure seats in the van and such, b/c chiang mai is a 6 hr drive we had to make all sorts of arrangements.. But we have this one LA we have been working w/ who wanted to go, but didn't have anywhere to stay and she didnt want to stay alone so i was calling around to everyone trying to get something figured out for her b/c i wanted her to be there soooo baadd, i made over 70 phone calls to try and figure it out! Which was SOOOO much!! I had such a headache after that! and the end result was that she wasnt going :( so i was super sad! but we were able to get 3 of our investigators to go so i was sooo stoked about that! We taught Gap again this week and we are just about finished w/ all our lessons for him, but at the end of the lesson we talked about baptism again and he was like sister, i'm ready to get baptized, like now.... then our member B. Art turned to me and was like come on sister we need to move up his date! hahahaha sooo fuunnnnyyy!! but yes we are going to hopefully have him interviewed in like a week or 2 here! So I am sooo excited for him!!! yay! We also called another LA, B. Boy to try and teach him, but he said he wasn't free that night but he might be free on Sat morning, and that he would call us if he was... which to us meant... no way will i be calling you! hahaha but turns out he called!!! WHHAAATTT !?!? that doesn't happen... like ever... but then we had to find a female to help us, but EVERYONE was gone to chiang mai already or couldn't help!! AHHH SOOO frustrating! So we ended up just having the Elders come and teach him and we kind of just sat in on the lesson with them... hahah but it was a good lesson and i think we are really starting to make progress with him so that's good! Ok now i will move to Chiang Mai! So we had district conference and it was sooo goood!! We had E. Gong of the 70 here and he was just way awesome! we got to spend some good time with him after the meetings were over, but he just was so great. sounds like him and his wife are doing some great work here in asia! This week was sooo good and I just love everything here!! I am starting to get nervous thought b/c there's only about a week 1/2 left of this transfer and i reaalllyyyy do not want to move, but I am scared i am going to have to move and i really don't want to!! i feel like i just started to be able to understand everyone and really get to know the members and such and AHHH i just don't want to move!!! hahaha But we will see!!! Well i think that's about it for this week.... I still don't have any pictures of austin.... just sayin!! But I hope everything is going good w/ you all! Love you!! Love, S. Itri
