Patience and Hope

Yesterday was Memorial Day so the library was closed :( but we get an hour to make up that time today :)

The people we're teaching are few but the one that probably need prayers is Cortney and her family! She's so solid, she's 24 and have 4 children. I think her son is like 10 or something i'm not sure. But he's the oldest. She wants to come to church and always attentive. She kept all of our commitments however, the issue she's having is work. She works as a CNA down at the nursing home here. She works 16 hours on Saturday and Sunday so we've been praying for her schedule to change and she mentioned it yesterday that she wants to attend church and make that next step to follow Christ. Anyway that's all we have so far the rest are just here and there.

My companion/trainer name is Elder Brezenski, Scotti. He's from Misoula MT. He's going to BYUI as soon as he gets back home. I'm not really sure if he knows what he wants to major in just yet but he wants to find a wife that's for sure hah. The indy 500 is like their god here. it's insane. I didn't have a chance to really find out more about it but it's really popular here.

So far on my mission, I have learned a lot about Patience. Actually this week I have a personal goal of study more about Patience and Hope. I know that I must have faith in the Lord and that He will provide a way as long as I allow Him to work through me. However, it's so challenging when you continuously getting rejected. It's a challenge to keep faith but as the Scripture says, the only reason we face trials is to be tested of faith. Sometimes it's hard to stay on top when all you see is the day ahead or even just the hour ahead of you. But having eternal perspective does help out with the Work. just gotta do my best! Being out here definitely help me out with Patience

At this point I really enjoy the members here. Although they could use a little more missionary work motivation but they're all wonderful people. Definitely want to come back to Kokomo and visit again. Sister Marler Also Known As Mama Marler is a Saint!
In closing, Elder Drake is going home in August and I asked him to visit you guys so he might stop by on his way home. He's awesome! he's our zone leader right now and his conversion story is amazing! so just a heads-up he might stop by.

Well that's all for this week. Nothing new just slow but it's moving.

Love,
Elder Uthaichai
