FIND THE ONE

สวัสดีค่ะ everyone!

This week was literally Finding the ONE!!! We had this amazing investigator/referral. His name is หนึ่ง which means 1/one. We met him last Tuesday. He has been looking for the church for 8 years now. He said he's always believed in Christ. And he is just amazing! We taught him about prayer and his first prayer was one of the best first prayers I have ever heard.
We made an appointment for the next day but he wasn't able to come. He went to the member's house but the member didn't call us Right away. So, there was no way to contact him right now because he has no phone. No contact number and apparently, he has no facebook. But he told us he'll find a way to call us.
We spent half of our Friday finding him at this university before he heads home to another town. But we didn't find him. BUT WE FOUND HIS BIKE. We just left a note on his bike and hopefully, he'll see it! He'll be back in the city on Tuesday so we'll go and find him again. Literally Finding the ONE! I know we'll find him or he'll find us again!!!!!! 

I believe in miracles. And I know that through faith, we'll be able to see miracles!!! So I'll update you next week. If I don't send an email, that means we didn't find him hahahaha just kidding!

This week, I've been posting about the Book of Mormon Everyday on facebook. (We've been told to post everyday) and I just chose to post about the Book of Mormon hehe.

So let me just share a scripture verse from the Book of Mormon about Miracles...

Mosiah 8:18 Thus God has provided a means that man, through faith, might work mighty miracles; therefore he becometh a great benefit to his fellow beings

What I love the most about the Book of Mormon is that it teaches us to have more faith. If we don't have faith, it teaches us to have faith. It teaches us to use our faith. I know that miracles never cease And I am so excited so see more miracles this week.

What's your miracle this week?


Love you all!

สวัสดีค่ะ 
Hello, everyone! 

This week, I'm starting to familiarize myself more with the area. I love it here! We started the transfer with fasting and it really helped us see miracles especially this week. We met a lot of people to teach too. 

It has been very gloomy and rainy this week. So sometimes we had to go back home and change clothes because we're all drenched. It was fun though 555 There was this one night it rained so hard while we're biking home and it was so cold  I wonder what other people think we're doing hahahaha but all is well now, it's starting to get sunny again. 

Leave them better than you've found them - our mission has a goal of talking with 10 people a day. It has helped us know who the Lord has prepared and helped me love inviting and finding even more. I love talking with people more now. I love getting to know them. Talking with people honestly takes so much effort sometimes because you really have to listen to them. But then again, we want to leave them better than we've found them. I like carrying a พระคัมภีร์มอรมอน Book of Mormonbecause it teaches way better than me.  

I remember last Thursday we took a train to another village because it's kind of far. Going back to town, we need to take a van instead because the train comes late. So we thought the van's gonna be full but it's only me and Sister Munro! 555 and then a guy in crutches comes in too and sat next to us. I talked with him and found out he was in an accident last week and need about 3 months to recover. We got to know more about him too (coz it's like a 45 minute ride lol) he had questions such as the purpose of our lives so the Book of Mormon was very handy in answering his questions. We're happy to meet with him soon! 

I am eternally grateful for the Book of Mormon. It has changed my life and has helped me know more about the purpose of our lives. It has given me direction and has blessed my family so much.
So, the challenge for this week is for us to read the Book of Mormon everyday . It doesn't matter if it's just a Page a day or a verse a day. What matters most is the desire we have to seek God's words every single day.
I promise you it will help. I promise you it will make a difference.  

So, if you don't know what the Book of Mormon is... It's okay! You can ลองดูอ่าน and get a copy for FREE! just go to 

Mormon.org

Find happiness and get a free Book of Mormon.

Love y'all

Guess who's in ศรีสะเกษ(Srisaket)? 🚲

ME 

This area is near Cambodia but still in Isan  I love It here! Also, It was so hard leaving Mahasarakham. It was so hard. Last Tuesday, we got a call from President Hammond that Sister Peterson is going to be a Sister Training Leader in Bangkok. So I thought I was staying for my 5th transfer. I am so down for 5 transfers because there's so much work to do in Mahasarakham and I love it there so much!!! But then our district leader called and said I'm gonna move to Srisaket. I was so shocked. They're closing the area for sisters. So I was really sad. The whole Wednesday was about cleaning our house, packing, talking with our families, transferring investigators' profiles to the elders and letting everyone know we're leaving. I was there for almost 6 months. It was my greenie area and my home for a while. But I guess it's time to move! The members in Mahasarakham are so sweet and I love them so much. Almost half the branch went to the bus station to send us off. Sweet cries and sweet goodbyes! They are so amazing. It would be weird not to have sisters in Mahasarakham but it's okay. There are fewer sister missionaries in our mission right now so some areas are closing down for sisters. They need to reopen some areas they closed last time too. I know that all of these has purpose and will actually help members over there too to help the branch more and to strengthen each other too...

So we had to go down to Bangkok last Wednesday. Arrived there in Thursday... met our new companions and went back to our areas. So, I'm now companions with Sister Munro. She's from Australia and she is so Funny! 555 I'm so so so excited for this transfer! Met the members of the ward here already and they are so awesome. Every Saturday, the members and missionaries have switch offs. It's amazing how hard they work with missionaries here. The ward is awesome. 


This is my first time to be transferred and it was so weird. I can't even explain it. Hehehe I was so stressed, anxious, scared, and excited for it. For CHANGE. I think some of you may feel the same about "Change". 

But all is good now! Once we arrived and got to work here in Sisaket, I've realized that change is so good!!! It's time to grow and learn new and amazing things. I am way excited for this change. You know what? CHANGE is the only thing that doesn't change. I don't know if that makes sense but apparently, it's true. 

So let's be ready for Change! Because it will always come and bring a different order into our lives that would bless us and our families - Also the lives of other people. That's the challenge. 

I love you all!
