The Lord Works In 'Funny' Ways

The temperature is not too kind lately, it's between 26-32F and the humidity doesn't help at all. I sent out those Holiday cards because I thought it would be funny and it would cheer people up. I just sent 4 of them. Anyway, my new companion is Elder Marshall from Oregon.. He'll be a more difficult one unfortunately.. I knew my mission couldn't be this easy. He just doesn't know why he's out here and he's going through some tough time right now. Now prior to the transfer I did ask Heavenly Father to help me with Patience since I figure I can always learn to be more Patience. Well guess what? I got Elder Marshall. Sometimes I just want to blow the whole house up and see what happens. Arg frustration. You just gotta love him they said, connect with them. How when he doesn't talk?! Anyway it's nothing I can't handle :)

This Thanksgiving is strange. They made preparation day that day so we'll probably be staying in since no one really signed up for anything except lunch. We'll go play turkey bowl with the ward and probably stay in. Most of the members are going out of town because 75% of the population in the ward are dental students from Utah. Go figure.

This week has been really really slow. We taught 0 lessons and we have 0 investigators.. Oh well I'm not too worried because my responsibility at this point is to train and do all that I can. Funny how the Lord works. I was homesick and wanted to go home a week prior and now I have to help someone deal with it. Life is full of surprises. I have been sick for the last 2 weeks though, my sleep has not been that great because I have these dry coughs that annoy the crap out of me... Ehh! Anyway I have 3 new Elders in the area so I guess I'll have to be a good elder now.

Well Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,

Elder Uthaichai
