We're not finding a lot of luck with having our investigators sticking around, unfortunately. Either they don't answer the phone, or they're too busy. Sister Hughes wasn't feeling too well at the beginning of the week, so we couldn't go out and contact. However, she's feeling better now, and we're ready to do the Lord's work. I know that we can at least get 1 baptism this week, and if we really push, 3 baptisms.
Lolee, is struggling with smoking. We had her fast, and she said she never felt so much faith before! That was great news to hear from her! We're trying to help her get as much support as she can, especially from her family. I think if there is any lesson Lolee needs to learn, is the enabling power of the Atonement. We've taught it to her, but she just needs to apply it to her life. I know that she can do it though!
I told her that we're all like little infants just learning how to walk. We can't do it alone. It's impossible to try. A baby needs to build support in their back, their knees, hold their head up, and such. It's a gradual process. I told her I can imagine though that God is holding her hand in one, and the Savior is holding the other. They are there literally EVERY step of the way. God and Jesus, are our support. With their support and help we can walk, jog, and eventually run. This reminds me of D&C 10:4.
Literally all I seem to eat is stir-fry, rice, and soup.... Whoo! Except the Pad Thai and the fruit here is amazingly delicious. Seriously though, it's SOOOO much better than the states! That's crazy of all the stuff you've had to eat! They have all kinds of weird stuff like chicken feet, rats.... yeah.... But since chiang Mai is a tourist city, there are lots of farang food, aka american food. Also weird thing... I miss my vegetables. There's peppers and such in my food, but there basically is no such thing as a salad, unless you get it from the grocery store! Whoo!
Christmas was awesome, but New Year's was crazy. We had to listen to crazy karoke Thai people singing to American music. It was awful, and we had to endure it for a good 8 hours for the people leave our street with lots of alcohol, flashing lights, and crazy dancing. It was hilarious to watch, but I feel bad for them too.
What'd you do for New Year's?! Hope all is well! Also can you send me some curls rock please! Also what do you want from Thailand?!!
Happy New Year!
Sister Woodbury
