This week at conference sounds crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is a sign that more work needs to e done!  There is so much work to do here.  This last week  Elder pearson and i were jsut really tired because of everythign that we have een doing.  We have been working realyl hard trying to find new people to teach.  we have been really focusing on less actives now.  right niow in the branch we have about 125 memers and 45 come to church every week.  That is actually pretty good compared to a lot of the oter branches all over thailand.  There are some with over 600 members but only 90ish come to church every week.  The mission has really shifted its focus on rescue efforts.  We have been finding those who have just lost their way.  

We actually had a really ool expericne on saturday.  We were inviting and we just felt like we needed to go and visit some members.  We went to go and visit the firt one and they were not home and then we remember this other less active that hadnt een to church for 5 years.  We went to his house and he was home from work so we sat down with him.  He is a really good person and had no real reason to stop going to church.  We taught him and invited him to church and he said he would go and the next day he was at church in his shirt and tie and y the time that church was over he was just beaming with light on his face.  The members welcomed him back like there was nothing wrong and you could tell that he was very glad to e back.  He will have a goal to get the Melkisedek preisthood soon and then he will be off to the temple.  Before we left his house we asked him if he knew anyone else that we could go and visit.  He gave us a name and directions.  We got a little lost becasue it was after dark and we did not know the area very well so we called the member and she gave us directions and we finally found her house.  We made an appointment for the next day and then we went ack and she was really sick and asked for a blessing.  She said that the night that we call her she had just prayed and asked Heavenly Father to hlep make her life better.  She said that she will be back at church this next sunday for general conference.  

This work feel so good.  I am very very tired lately but it is very worth all of the work that we put into it.  I will be watching conferece this week but thank you for telling me all of the good news before i got to watch it hahahahahahahahahahha.  That is really cool that i will know so many people.  I love you so much Mom and Dad and everyone else who reads this email.  I hope that you have a really good week and talk to you next week.
