Dear family,
It was nice hearing about all of your
weeks this week :) I hope that everything continues to go well! :)
It's crazy... I'm sitting here sweating typing this email. And you
guys are starting to get really cold. Weeeeeird :)
But. First of all... last week we went to Suko
Thai! That was fun... it was warm. We rented bikes... and we got to
drive around and see all of these incredible and intricate. I'm not
sure what to call them. I think a lot of it was parts of temples that
you could still see. Isn't it amazing that it seems like no matter
where you go in the world, or how far you go back in time... humans
always have the desire to progress to create, and very often they create
things that are beautiful and intricate. It's just cool... it reminds
me of that talk by President Uchtdorf! Just feast your eyes on the
beautiful... SUKOTHAI. It makes me want to make something pretty. My
love of texture was definitely fed on Monday.
In other just technical and unimportant news... we
went to Bangkok this week for a meeting with all of the Thai
missionaries... of course being Half-Taiwanese doesn't really qualify me
to go to that meeting... so instead I got to go on switch offs. Which
was exciting! :) It's always cool to get to study with and meet new
people and see some of the awesome things that other missionaries do!
Other than that... this week... Man... I don't even
know what to tell you about this week! IT was kind of a crazy one!
Going to Bangkok sometimes took up multiple days. But. We're still
working with a lot of the investigators that we were working with
before. It's been cool to see them progress and grow a little bit! To
see there hearts open up as we meet with them more often! Sometimes I
just love getting to talk to so many different people every day! The
challenge is not to just talk to them... but to invite them to learn
with you! To learn more about the restored gospel and the truthfulness
of it! And I'm seeing a lot of different things that I can do to
helllllp people more and more. :)
Just kind of a fun story from the week. Soooo. My
tire went flat randomly. This is the second time that's happened to me
:) IT actually went flat on Saturday...
and then while we were walking to get it fixed someone close to our
house offered to fix it for us! They filled it up... couldn't find a
hole... and so we went on our merry way. Then we went to leave for
church Sunday
morning and found that our tire was flat. Awwww nuts. At about the
same time and member who lives close to us rode by on his bike. His mom
and brother had said that they were coming to church and we were SO
excited! Buuuuuut it turns out they didn't have a motorcycle like they
thought they would... so... they weren't going! Noooo! But. Since we
had to walk anyway... we walked ourselves over to their house and
invited them to walk to church with us! It's true that we MAY have
gotten to church a TINY bit late :) but I was so happy because we had
this member's mom with us!! Hooooray! :) I think we also got to meet a
lot of people we wouldn't have met just because my tire was flat.
Sometimes a flat tire is a blessing.
I'm not really sure what else to say about this
week... sorry that this email is so short and boring! Hopefully the
pictures will make up for the lameness. :)
I love you so so much. And I hope that you have the BEST week! EVER.
Love,
Sister Croft
