Hey everyone,
today I had to go and renew my visa in downtown Bangkok and everyone from my MTC group had to go as well. It was the first time since we left the MTC that we were all back together and it might be the last time before we go home so we had to celebrate this special occasion by eating at the tallest building in Thailand: Baiyoke Tower. We got some pretty good pictures from it so that’s what those are. (There’s a picture of Elder McCoy and I with a tower made out of straws. It has nothing to do with what I'm talking about but it was cool because we had a competition at a Zone Meeting to see who could make the Highest, most durable tower out of straws and our District won! So that’s why I sent it...ha-ha) but it was fun to see each other today and it was weird to think how far we have come since our MTC days. It didn't seem like it was that long ago that we were sucking Jello shots off of our trays in the MTC cafeteria and throwing hacky sacks down the halls of our dorm at each other! Thinking back on those memories helped me realize how much fun we had at the MTC. I have nothing but good memories from it! Jason you don't know what you're talking about when you said the MTC was terrible! It was a blast for us!
Well I don't have too much for this week. It was just another average week. Our investigator Tig is doing awesome! He has read up till Helaman in the Book of Mormon now and is just waiting for us to finish teaching all the lessons so he can get baptized! He has been awesome to teach because he has just been ready for this!
Elder McCoy and I are doing well. We have Moves Meeting next Thursday and one of us might move so I'm not sure how much longer we will be together. If I move, I hope I get the chance to go back up country. This is my 3rd area in Bangkok and usually people aren't in Bangkok for this long. So hopefully I get to go up north if I move!
Well I love you guys! I hope all is well and thank you all for the emails you have been sending! I love it!
