Already???!!!
Sawatdi kha Krabkrua!
So this week was transfers again! AH. I cant believe how fast things are going! Please slow it down!!! AHHH!!! But it was another crazy week b/c our mission president decided to wait to the last minute to tell us if we were moving or not! AHHHH!! So we found out on wed. at about 2 that my companion was moving. :( And we also found out that they would be opening another sisters area here in Ubon and that we would have to prepare our house for 2 more sisters to come in! AHHHHH!!! then we found out there were no buses free to go to bangkok that night so we had to book it to the train station, we got there at about 4 and then train left at 6:30! AHH! So we had about an hour to pack all of my companions stuff try and get our house in semi working order for 4 sisters, and get back to the train station! It was soooo nuts! I am still not sure how we did it! It was a little stressful, but we managed ok. ha. I am way sad that my comp. moved, we just barely seemed to get things in working order here and started getting some progressing investigators and such, but of course once you get comfortable, that's when change happens right?! haha So when we were on the 10 hr train ride to bangkok, we were just chatting and then heard some other people speaking english... and thought, hm that's weird. Turns out it was some elders! haha One of them was moving as well and we all ended up on the same train together! ha It was fun to have some people we knew! haha
Then we finally got into bangkok on Thursday morning and when we got off, we found out that my companions bike got off about 4 stops before we did! AH! So we had to book it back to the other train station where her bike was, then we had to book it to transfer meeting!! It was soo nuts! Once again, not sure how we did it! haha But it sure was an adventure!
As far as transfer meeting, it is always so fun to see everyone! It was a little bitter sweet b/c me and S. Guildner got along so well, and you never know who you're going to end up with. So Like usual president had it all dramatic and had pictures of everyone and their areas, and it came up to Ubon and i found out my new companion would be S. Skalla! She is great! I am so excited to work with her! And then we found out that we would actually be in a 3-some for a couple weeks b/c the new companionship would be training, and one of the missionaries is still in the MTC in the Phillipines and won't be here for 2 more weeks! So right now we also and S. Malin who is thai! I have my first native companion (kind of) ha. But she is so great! So far it's been way fun and helped me have to speak in Thai all of the time! And i can't wait for one more to come! It's going to be soo much fun!
Other than that not a whole lot happened. Transfers pretty much take up our whole week, especially when we are so far away from Bangkok! But i am way excited for this transfer! We have some awesome work ahead of us here! Our mission president wants to be able to split this Branch here soon so that will be awesome! Things are growing fast here in Thailand! I love that I get to be a part of it! This truly is the Lord's work! I love every second of it!
Hope everything is going well at home! Sounds like you just had a snow storm? That's fun! It's still like 85 degrees and humid here all the time! haha Love you all!
Love, Sister Itri
