Well, my new companion is Elder Garrett. He's a pretty good comp. I feel like he wants to establish a really long term relationship with me...I don't mean that in a homosexual way. He's really tall though.. He's 6' 6'' and eager to learn! We get along really well so far. He can play a lot of instruments! He's from Walla Walla Washington. Funny thing is I believe I have seen him at BYUI Fall semester.. I just didn't really pay attention to him and now I'm training him. I'm truly am humbled for the opportunity that I have to train him. It's a joy and challenge at the same time. Elder Garrett knows everything about cars. He wanted to go dune buggie - fix up crappy cars and drive them around at the sand dunes for fun.
This week we have 2 investigators from our area and 2 from the sisters. However, our teaching pool is around 8-10 investigators.. So we just need them to progress. We will always strive our best to be strictly obedience and always follow the prompting of the spirit.
To be honest, I have never felt the spirit this strong. I don't know many scriptures. However, I never fear when I teach because I know Heavenly Father will help me when I need it. Believe it or not I have seen the reward already. The joy I feel at each lesson is indescribable. I will continue to work hard and always do my best.
Oh Guess What!? I'm picking my Swedish back up... It's amazing how fast you can re-learn something when you read the Gospel Of Jesus Christ (Jusu Kristus Evangeliet). I began to read Preach my Gospel in English and switch back and forth. We practice quite often since Elder Garrett is still learning. He said he wants to be able to "Command" the Spirit like me... I'm not quite sure what he means but it sure sounds bad. Well I miss you guys, and I hope that everything is going well! It's so weird that 3 months have gone by so quick...
I'm so busy mentally it's nuts.. Everything I do and think about has to be with Investigators.. Even when I sleep.. Weird huh? It's either about the investigators or Elder Garrett.. I don't know what it is but I just feel like I need to continue to improve myself so that I can help others.
We'll be planning Mandy and AJ's baptism next week so it'll be interesting because it'll be my first. I'm not sure what's going to happen because I don't really trust people. I just have faith in the Lord. So I guess Courtney really did screw me up in a way. Don't get me wrong I am excited for Mandy and AJ but just not the same excitement as Courtney. I'm cautious.
Anyway I love you guys and wish that you will always have the spirit with you; to keep y'all safe!
Love,
Elder Uthaichai
