1st Chin Baptism!!

We had our first Chin baptism ever!! We had a great, great turn out at the baptism. If my math is correct, we had over 70 people attending it. People are so happy for Albert Mang. He is a great kid. We love him and his family. We saw the missionaries that have helped us worked with him in the past come support him. President Cleveland and his wife even came down to see. I have to "gossip" a little about President! Although he's a giant but he has a huge heart. We may or may not have caught him crying when the Chin people were bearing their testimonies in their language and having their daughter translate it into English. Although Esther (the translator)'s English isn't perfect we could feel the spirit. I mean who speaks perfect, proper English nowadays anyway. I love this area and my investigators. They are more than investigators. They're family. 

Likewise with the Hayes. Mehgan and Kelly are recovering slowly from their surgery. Please pray for them. They are great people. I don't think I can remember NOT laughing when I'm a lesson with Mehgan. I will send a large amount of pictures today so be on a look out for that. Great things are happening here in Indy 1st. Perhaps it'll be a great finish off. I will forever remember these lovely people. 
I love my companion, and the district. We got things rolling. I think one thing that helps us stay united is our Christ-like attribute. Humility in particularly. We're able to tease one another and help one another when it's needed. I know that the Lord is in this work. There is no way President could be so good at picking companionship without the help of our Heavenly Father. I hope and pray that the district will remain as it is until my mission is over. I'm so grateful to be here and thank you for all that you guys do to make it happen. 
 
Love,
Elder Uthaichai
