Hello, everyone! This week was so packed
why is it so fasssssst!!!
For Pday, I spent it in the church kitchen
made some Leche flans(to de-stress jk) while Sister Harris baked some cookies. Didn't mean to spend a ton of time in there but a member from Rangsit came and visited so we were just there for the entire afternoon! Aaaah she is so sweet (Sister Rose)

We had Zone Conference last Tuesday and it was so good. Elder and Sister Whiddens gave a training about "Mental Health" and it was very educational. I don't think I know a lot about mental health จริงๆ so it has helped me be aware of my status and help other missionaries when they're feeling down or stressed too. I mean not just that but for other situations too. If you know the 'Adjusting to Missionary Life' book, I just want you to know that it's a really great Read! Missionary or not, stressed or not. I study it throughout my mission and it helps me assess or evaluate myself every now and then #naks จริง though
We were asked to give a training too!
We trained on "Talking with 10 people a day" and giving Baptismal Commitments. I must say I learned a lot from all the missionaries. They are awesome.
Switched off with Sister Mittawong last Friday. It's her last one! We had a really great day and found some awesome people! I love it when I switch off with other sisters because I just learn a lot from them
️ Last Friday, we just focused our inviting and teaching on Christ and it made so much difference.
Yesterday we had our investigator couple come to International Ward since thats the time they're available. They are actually quite famous(singers and actors) and it was legit hard to make appointments with them because they have shows! A sister from church recognized them and took a photo with them. So it's way cool! They look super cuteeeeee too! 555
Last Wednesday, I needed to go to the hospital. So we were there for about 2 hours(did our studies) . I needed to have my throat checked because it's not feeling any better. Found out I had an inflamed throat and that there's an irritation. Feeling so much better now though!

Also, started meeting with some leaders, visiting them and getting to know them. It's very important because they are usually the key to knowing the area better. Any ideas on how to build relationships with church leaders? We want to serve them and know more about their conversion stories tooooo
For my studies this week, I am amazed how humble, meek, and submissive Jesus Christ is. In John 28:9 it says
//And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him//
He always shows us the example of exact obedience and yielding to the will of the Father. His sacrifice shows His love for Heavenly Father and also, For Us. I'm so grateful for His sacrifice.
️ Whenever I remember it, I know that we can be with Him and be like Him in small and simple ways or ทีละนิดทีละน้อย.I learned that if we think more Christ-like, it'll reflect on our feelings and then to our actions.
I want to share about the security guard here in the Asoke Church. He's from another religious community but he works in our church. I was just so amazed because everyday, at a specific time, He'll lay his carpet on the ground, wear his special skirt and cap, and then he will kneel down and pray. He is not anywhere near their sacred building but he is so dedicated and doesn't really care where he is. He just deserves so much respect! It didn't matter where he was. His faith, I guess, didn't waver. It was an eye opener to me. Will we still keep the commandments if no ones even watching us? If we're in a foreign land? Or if our friends don't know our standards?
I learned that our faith and how we stand for what we believe in shows our love for our dear Heavenly Father. It doesn't matter where we are but there's a Supreme Being up there who can see our efforts. He knows us, loves us and will bless us according to our faith.
Have a great day, everyone!
