Christmas in Bangkok

It was so nice to talk to you just now :)  Just some extra thoughts from this week.  As I told you over skype!  This week I got transferred to Don Muang in Bangkok!!  Crazy crazy times.  So we packed up all of our stuff and said goodbye to some of our awesome members/investigators in Phitsanulok (both Sister Sararat and I left!) and went off to transfer meetings!  I literally didn't leave the church building that we had transfer meetings at... my new companion Sister MacDurmet, was like "oh we have an appointment here at 5!  So... that's kind of exciting!  Bangkok is a whole new world!  It's definitely a lot more fast paced than Phitsanulok was!

 This week... one of our investigators, Brother Bank, got baptized!  I'm not sure if I even taught him a lesson before he was baptized :) but he is awesome!  We also have a couple of other investigators who have passed their interviews too!  It's so crazy to be here with a new companion, and just kinda in the fast pace of the work.  We have a bunch of people working towards baptism, and we're really trying to help them experience conversion!  We try to read the Book of Mormon with them!  It's amazing, with those 2 hours of contacting it's almost difficult to fit everyone in!  It's a great problem to have!

Ummmm... I dunno what else to tell you.  On Monday we had a big fires ide with all of the missionaries in Bangkok (I think that's 3 zones worth of missionaries!  It was HUGE!)  We went to a big (and delicious) buffet.  And then we went back to the church, spent some tim e together there, listened to our incredible mission president.  And decorated some cookies!  It was really an awesome fireside.  Don't you just love Christmas?  I love it so much!!  And aren't we the most blessed people in the world.  We know why we celebrate Christmas!  We know why there is a huge Christmas tree at the mall, we know why we buy people presents, it's all in remembrance of the TRUE meaning of Christmas.  I still love the Christmas hymns!  Don't forget to read that little card that I wrote you! :)  JOY to the WORLD.  We really do have every reason to have JOY.  I know that we have a Savior, and that our Savior is Jesus Christ!  That He came into the world so that we could be saved!  I know that He is the true source of peace and happiness in this world!  I'm so grateful for that knowledge! I love you so much! :)  And I'm so glad we are sealed together!  Sorry I just talked for... literally a whole hour without stopping :)  I love you so much though!  Have a wonderful Christmas :)  You better wake up at 4:30!

Love,

Sister Croft
