High Hopes

Last Monday wasn't fun. I spent entire day sitting/sleeping. I think it's because of how sensitive my eyes are to light. I'm pretty sure it's migraine. It happens every now and then especially when it's bright out and hot. However, I have gotten better since.

This week has been a little better than last I should say. We are getting the ward excited for missionary work. Our teaching pool is very shallow but I have a feeling that as we work closely with the leaders and the members. The work will take off soon. Elder Nokes and I have a high hope for the work here. We hope and pray that our zone will do well because it seems like the entire zone is suffering from the same issue; finding. It seems like we can't find people whom are willing to make the effort of changing themselves. I think that we need to find a new way of finding rather than the old-fashioned way. 

Anyhow, almost every evening I go and play soccer with the Hispanic community near the apartment complex. I actually enjoy it quite a bit. I just love making new friends and miraculously we were able to refer a few people to the Spanish Elders. Currently, I have been studying random stuff to just increase my range of gospel knowledge. I have spent a few days in Matthew and John which was very intriguing to me. It helps me think deeper about the 5 basic principle of the Gospel.
 
Lastly, Have you heard about iPads? I hear that we have to purchase it on our own once the authorize it. What are some of your thoughts and feelings on iPad and social media proselyting? I'm just interested in hearing from different perspective. I personally am excited for it because I have a lot of non-member friends however, I can see it being a distraction as well but being a missionary in the state; you're prone to that anyway.
 
Love,
Elder Uthaichai
