Hey Everyone so this is really going to throw you off but my p day is now on saturday.  You should be getting a letter in the mail soon but i am now an office Elder.  That means i have a lot of responsibilities now and i still have to get regular missionary work done too!!  I also get to drive this coming monday!!  I just have3 to go to the embassy and get a lot of paper work done and then i get a thai drivers liscense and i start driving all over the place.  We also now live with the assistants to the president and im not sure if you remember my old trainer Elder Gudmundsen but he is the new ap and his old trainer is the other one wo it is like a huge family reunion.  It is going to be way fun and way busy at the same time though.  All i ask is to pray for me and my companion that we will be able to do everything that we need to do. 

Mom and Dad,

          

 You can now send stuff to the office and i get it instantly so you dont need to sorry about transfers anymore hahaha  i am the one who gets all of the mail all of the time so now i dont have to worry hahaha.  I also get letters instantly and i can send them a lot faster too!  There are a lot of things that are really nice about being and office Elder.  The only thing that i dont like is that we will have to be at the office until 4:00pm everyday putting in member records and taking care of anything else that the mission president wants us to do.  His office is now right accross the hall so he has us do a lot of different things for him and other people in the office and we also have to answer the phone and mostly it is other missionaries calling for random stuff that we cant really do but we have to tell them that we will try but that is about all i know about the office now.

              

  My mission work is really cool!  We are supposed to look over 2 branches.  one of them is an all thai branch and the other one is a Foreigner branch.  there are a lot of different things that i now do in english that i used to do all in thai and now it is a little hard getting the languages mixed up because there are some things that are just eaiser to say in thai than they are in english hahaha.  This last week was a little crazy with moving and stuff but we got a lot of work done in my last area right before i left.  My last comp Elder Mondragon is actually training and really good things are starting to happen in that area.  2 people other peiople will be getting baptized there in the next few months and it was really sad when i left because they both want me to be there for their baptism but i cant go unless i get an investigator to go there too.  I love the people so much there.  they were all just so funny and just really good to the missionaries.  they helped the work a lot and the work is now exploding over there.  I miss it so much but im excited to get to know the two branches here.  We hardly ever have to worry about food because members constantly give us food and we are invited for meals all of the time. in the thai ward and the foreigner one as well.

                 

Well my new comp is pretty cool!  his name is Elder Buckner.  He is a really funny guy and i already love him a lot!  He is really willing to serve the Lord and everyone around him.  He has a really good heart and he is really good at what he does.  Him and i have been getting along great already and things seem to be getting really fun right now and it should be fun this next transfer.  Other than that i really dont have anything else for you this week. 

I love you so much Mom and Dad and the whole family!  I hope all of you will have a good and safe week this week and I will pray for all of you this week.  Sorry i didnt give you a heads up but here you go and i will talk to you next week!
