ALWAYS SEEKING FOR MIRACLES...

We went to Surin 3 weeks ago and rode elephants. It was SO FUN!!!!!!! 

Biking without hands... 

สวัสดีค่ะ  

It's ALREADY July!!! Where did time go? I have no idea which week I'm on but guess what? I'm still in Mahasarakham! (With Sister Peterson). So the Journey continues in มหาสารคาม. I'm on my fourth transfer now and I had to say goodbye to my one hour Language study time.  I have no idea how my Thai is right now but It's okay, I guess! Haha I remember 3 Sundays ago I translated for some members from Cambodia(Thai to English) for the Sacrament Meeting. It wasn't easy! Hahahaha so I just kind of made my own talk... hahahaha

Kaya ko to จริงๆ ☺

Hello, everyone! Your favorite sister missionary is back! (Haha, that's for my family)

So It has been long since I last emailed. We had stake and zone conferences last week and we were blessed to have Elder Muers of the Seventy with us..  He is amazing! He focused more on ministering and what it really means. We had a special meeting with him (just for missionaries) and talked about our investigators. We volunteered to talk about our investigator ต๋อย. Sister Peterson and I had the chance to role play with President and Sister Johnson too. I'll say I was a kinda nervous but it was so fun and I'll miss the Johnsons so much. In zone conference, we were asked the question: Why do we do what we do? 

I am reminded of my purpose as a missionary, a servant of the Lord. Sometimes, LOVE is just one of the most used words. We can say we love a book, we love a view, or we love something. But to say We LOVE the Lord is something different. It's something that we show, something that we do. I know that I am a missionary because of my love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. And to help in this LABOR OF LOVE  is an opportunity to show my love for Them and to my brothers and sisters. Definitely, this is not the only way to show our love for the Lord. We have small and simple things too. That is a challenge for each and every one of us.

งูเขียว (No BIG Deal)

On Saturday, we visited a place for old people and I met this grandma! She is so sweet and when I left her she was calling "Gagarin! Gagarin!" Hahaha, so cute!

Hello, everyone! How are you all doing?

This week has been one of the most interesting weeks of my mission ( at least for me hahaha)

Because

THERE WAS A SNAKE IN OUR HOUSE. It was a green snake! I almost got bit by it but thankfullyyyyyyyy we were safe!!!! Our branch President came and killed it for us. We aren't sure yet if we're moving houses or not though. But I definitely was not able to sleep well for a night. Hahaha We're still alive!

Third Transfer // Week 22

Hello, everyone! 

This week has been fun and all sorts of challenging! Well, Im not a greenie anymore! That's new to me. Biking the roads of Mahasarakham has been familiarly strange, if that makes sense at all. This time, I lead the area so the area has never looked this big for me hahaha. It was kind of hard but this is a milestone I guess for missionaries as we need to go out of our comfort zone and be full pledged missionaries. (Not training anymoreeeee)

Happy Mother's Day + 3rd Transfer (Greenie No More)

สวัสดีค่ะทุกคน 

How are you all?

It's transfer day tomorrow! We're going down to Bangkok to work on our Visas and get our new companions. I'll be staying in Mahasarakham and I'm so glad! I love this area and the people here so much so I'm really excited for this transfer. I'm surely going to miss my mom (SIster Pherson) so much. She's the best trainer and I'm blessed to have her for 2 transfers. SO, I'm not a greenie anymore! (You get to be a greenie on your first two transfers. meaning: you're on training) I'm done with training so there's no excuse anymore. Thai is still a work on progress but I know that the Lord will help me with the language.
