Recent Update

Here's the update about our area. Albert, the 15 year old boy is off a date. Not to be rude or anything but I expected it, because of the experiences that I have had so far in the mission field. However, the sisters seem to be thinking that it's okay to get him on a date. I feel like I am able to connect with them more than they could because of many reasons. But one main thing is I'm Asian too.. I can see how they act or react even though I don't understand their language. But you don't have to understand what they say exactly. You can pick up bits and pieces to get what they're saying. Another blessing of learning English as a 2 language. The ability to understand foreigners. 
What strange is that I am the oldest in the mission field in this zone. It is quite strange. Everyone who I look up to is now gone and "prophecies" has been fulfilled. I remember in Kokomo, an elder that has been out for quite sometimes told me that one day I'll look back and ask myself what on earth happened. Those I look up to will be me mc the role will switch. Well that time has come.

Anyway, Elder Ledesma and I are working with the Chin people still. We're going to be using a lot of video to teach because it is always easier to remember and understand something that is presented visually. We will give that a try to see how it goes. We have about 6 or 7 chin families but they're progressing very berry slow. So I will not mention them just yet. However, we are teaching the Hayes family. Kelly and Shelly Hayes see us as their adopted children hahah funny how brown kids always get more parents than others. Anyway we love them and are pushing to get them baptized is month. Please pray that they will be able to over come the addiction. We're planing on getting them baptized in the 17th but we'll see.  Megan, a mother that is currently going through a divorce is being taught by us as well. She is wonderful and seems like she has been preprared by the Lord. Although the challenges that she has gone through or going through seem unbearable. I know that the Lord is setting her up for something better.

Love,
Elder Uthaichai
