Hey Dad and Mom,
This week was pretty fun. We worked really hard with everything
and we had a lot of success. It didnt show up in the numbers all of the
time but we felt like we really did our best to bring people to
Christ. That is crazy about the antelope season. I wont be able to
shoot a gu very well when i get home but i will have to practice a lot
before we actually go out and hunt.
That is way funny that you have Brennen in a class. How is he? Is
he the same old bren that we all new before? I cant wait to start
going througha dn helping with family history when i get back. The
family history work that goes on here is very hard. They are not very
good at keeping records unless that are from China. The chinese take
very good records and so they can trace their family back for a very
long time. But if they are really thai they have a really hard time
doing that. Most of the time all that they will have a a name on a wall
of a temple. Because of the flooding they are getting destroyed. I am
very happy that we have records that we can work with back there. This
next week we will be having a baptism for a family that is so awesome!
I will send you pictures when it happens and then after that we have a
baptism almost everyweek in September!
That is about all for this. We are doing very well. Tell Emily
that i said hi and that i am way excited for her to be a missionary.
She will love it so much. Here there are about 3 seasons. Now it is in
the raining season. It gets super hot during the day and then in the
evening it rains really hard. In december it gets to about 70 degrees
and thai people just freeze. Actually i have noticed that i have been
getting cold more often now. I will freeze when i get home haha. Well
not much is going on. My comp is doing great! We are working on the
language but he is learning fast. By the end of the 12 weeks he will be
a better missionary than i am for sure! That is actually the point of
the training. I love you so much Mom and Dad.
Mom that is a great number because it will be easy to remember.
Also i will be talking with the office today because i am in bangkok for
an interview. I love this place so much and i know it is coming the
the end soon ish but i just like taking thw words of President Uchdorf
and just staying in the middle of my Miision. I love this so much!
Thank you for your prayers and for your example to me. I lvoe you so
much and have a really good week.

Hey Mom and Dad!!!!!
Elder Revelli
This week was a pretty crazy
week. We were realyl busy and it was way crazy Elder Bennett did move
and i dont know how you know this stuff so fast!! It freaks me out
sometimes that you know everything before i even think about telling you
hahaha. Elder Pearson is way awesome. He is from a small town in
Oregon. He is really excited about the work and just sreally good. He
is not like i was at all when i was a greenie. He is just willing to
speak and try out some new things everyday. He is very awesome and he
is just so happy all of the time. I love him so much and Elder
Gudmundsen would be proud of his grandkid and Komkrit would be proud of
his great grandson hahaha.
This week a family was baptized and it was just so
amazing to see them baptized. They have waited a very long time to be
baptized. We really didnt do very much for them but they still thanked
us for \helping them ghet to that point. They are such a special
family!!! I love them so much and they love Heavenly Father and Jesus
Christ so much. They know who they are and what they need to do to have
eternal life. I love this work so much and sometimes it is over
whelming and i feel like i am not worthy to be here and doing such a
great work. I know that it is not from Heavenly Father but i just wish
that i could do so much more.
That is way crazy about everything that is going
onat home. So many people are going on Missions and getting married and
all of that stuff. I love hearing all of this news because people are
just really happy. Not much else is happened this week. Yesterday the
rain was really really bad and my kid was just blown away from how much
water there was. I love this work so much!!!! I love this branch and
this work so much. Please pray for Elder Pearson and I to do all that
we can and have the strength to do it. I love you all so much. Thank
you so much for your prayers and all that you do for me.
Have a good week at school. I love you so much and talk to you next week.

Hey Mom and Dad,
Elder Revelli
This week was a pretty good wek for
all of you all. Well i am doing really well. I really dont feel that
tired. At first i did but then i realized that is was the fact that i
was not used to riding my bike as much and as hard i i used to do. When
sitting in a van and driving all day was my old life it was very nice
to be active again. We are working very hard and we are seeing a lot of
success. I really am doing great. I want to see pictures of the water
feature asap. It sounds like it is really cool so if you cn with the
next email make sure that oyu send some out. It is interesting because
we have had to feel that same spirit of direction every day. The days
that we didnt prepare properly were some of the longest days because we
didnt have that same spirit that we would have if we had prepared right.
The spirit is so essential in the work here. It jus makes everything
better. I love this work so much and i really just have wanted to get
lost in the work and I feel like i am getting better as i go and i know
that i will know what i am doing when i finish hahaha. I really am
doing good. Tell the bishop that i said hi and tell Dakota that he is
going to love it here so much and that i a way excited that he gets to
come to Thailand. The Thai people will love him.
This last sunday was probably the highlight of the
week. We had so amny members go to the district conference. It was way
awesome to see that 4 investigators were able to go. Only a couple
were able to go from the one family that we are teaching but they really
lovd it and it was a good opprotunity for them to see and meet so many
other members. It was really nice seeing all of the members that i have
known over this mission. They all remember me. They dont really
remember my name but they know who i am. They cant remember my name
because they cant say it very well but they are all so amazing!!! I now
know what Ammon was talking about when he talked about seeing the
fruits of his labors. He knew that he did not cause their conversion
but he knew that they were in the fold of God and that was all that
really did matter to him. Yesterday i felt the same way about it all.
I got to go back and see so many people that i was blessed to teach.
The ones in Pakkret are almost all going to be baptized soon. They all
mean so much to me and i took a lot of self control to not give them
all a hug. It was so good to see them and they are all doing really
good. I was very happy to see Sister Tuk. She really was treating me
like her kid yesterday and what was really funny is that President
Senior asked why i knew so many people and i told him that it has been
almost a year that i have been in this same zone. He then asked if that
was a hint or something because it is getting so close to moves hahaha.
The spirit was so strong in the meeting and after
the meeting. I love it here and i really did feel the love of God and i
really did find joy in my labors. It just felt really good because you
know me and how i sometimes get down on myself but yesterday i just
felt pure joy to know that all of those people have done sacred
covenants and will be able to enter the kingdom of God. I love this
work so much and i feel like my mission has passed by so fast.
Tell Jamie that i definatly approve. He looks like a
really good guy and he looks like he will be a great husband. Tell her
that i wish that i could hav been there to see it all but tell her if
she would have waited i would have been there hahaha just kidding but
tell her that she and him look great together and that i am very happy
for them and give them my best wishes.
I love you so much Mom and Dad. Thank you so much
for taking care of me eve when i am all th way aross the world. I
really do feel bad about my wallet but it is not the money that i lost
that bothers me but my temple reccomend. I have felt really weird
without it. I will interview this week and that will feel so good. The
cool thing is that it will all be in thai. The temple workers will be
very confused haha. I love you so much and make sure you both take care
of yourselves. Have a good week and I will talk to you next week.
