Thailand 4/14

Dear Family,

This week I'm emailing early because... todaaaaay.  Is that country wide water fight you may have heard about.  Songkhran.  Hoooray.  From what I've heard... it's a crazy time.  I'm excited... it should be super fun!

As for things that happened this week... my mind is kind of drawing a blank.  First.  We had the incredible blessing of general conference.  Man I loved General Conference. When we think about what it really is... how could we miss it? We are listening to people who are representatives of Jesus Christ.  Do we REALLY want to give up 10 or so hours to watch it?  Or... I suppose if we think about it in its true light.  We get 10 hours to listen to the words of God? Wow!  Amazing.  I really enjoyed it.  And the spirit confirmed to me that the things that they spoke about are true.  We really do live in the last times...  I dunno about you!  But listening... I had specific notes that I took... but more than that I felt the gentle promptings of the spirit.  "You can do this Sister Croft."  You might consider doing this.  I left having heard wonderful talks, but I also left with a list of things that I felt like maybe the Lord wants me to work on right now. I suppose the next step is making goals... and then actually working on them :)  Hehe... the hard part.  :)  It's like King Benjamin says though... it's not just conference for fun or enjoyment... but we get to hear it and then change and apply, be strengthened and polished just a little bit more! :) 

As for other things that happened this week... the Lord has continued to bless us with investigators.  There were some very joyous little moments this week.  We have to contact all of our investigators every day... and I've loved talking to this amazing Sister.  "Oh man... is it seriously only Thursday?  Why is time moving so slowly... I want to go to CHURCH on Sunday!!"  Or... with this awesome Brother who is an interpreter.  He started reading the scriptures and was completely confused... so we read together, explained, drew pictures, etc.  By the end of it I feel like were all beaming!  He felt like he could understand and apply better.  And itj ust made me so happy!!

Those people mentioned above I feel like are really good examples of people who are prepared.  Several people that we are teaching right now are just miraculous.  They walked in by themselves.  They were looking for a way to become Christian.  It's amazing.  We will find them.  Or they will find us! 

Sorry... I dunno that I have much else to say to you... this week I ate my first burger since I've been in Thailand :) haha... that was kinda fun.  I have a funny picture.  But...this computer has no USB.  Um... I dunno. It's been a good week!  I hope all of you have an incredible week this week!  Ahhh.  I'm so proud of you guys :)  I have the coolest family ever :)  Yay!!! I hope this Wednesday you guys get some good mail :)  or this Thursday or whatever day that was on... AHHH! :)

Have a wonderful week!

Love,
Sister Croft
