The Mission Field Spirit

Things are definitely going well here. We are finding success with the area. Elder Ledesma is doing really well. Him and I get along great, we are trying to work on our physical health and keep a balance diet. As you know, eating healthy can be time consuming and expensive. However, we have decided that it was best for both of us. After all, eating healthy is a healthier life-style. 

The mission is doing good. As far as I'm concerned President and my district are happy. That's good enough for me. I will keep you posted on the journey here. I am now considered a "grandpa". With time comes wisdom right? Another exciting news is that Albert is thinking about going on a mission. I promised him that I would come back and spend a few days with him prior to him going to the MTC. Last night we had a fireside, "Why I Believe". I will truly miss this, I love the spirit there and the smiling faces.

Our weather is lovely, it's not cold at all. It has been quite enjoyable winter. It was/is mild, warm and sunny. We love it. Our next baptism is on the 21st. I am so excited for her. We feel like she is ready and prepared, spiritually. We are working closely with Albert. We try to visit him with the sisters as much as we can. Time doesn't always permit. 

I, personally, am in love with the area and with the Chin people. I love them so much that I decided to learn their language. I'm being taught Haka Chin which is one of the top dialect spoken in Burma. It is quite entertaining to learn and see them laughing at me, while I'm trying to speak it. Ohh last night, I met E. Wimmer. He studied in Sweden for 2 years so he could speak Swedish. Oh man, my Swedish is rusty as well. I feel like everything I know, and knew is fading away! 

Love,
Elder Uthaichai
