This week was a pretty good week. Probably the highlight of the week was zone conference. It was the first one that Elder Jensen and i had ever planned so at first we were not sure what we were going to do but them President Senior gave us everything that he would like us to do and so that made it really nice so we didn't have to come up with everything. I gave a 10 min talk about finding and developing the faith to find. That was really fun and i felt like the point really got across. After that President Senior gave a really good presentation about finding as well and about all of the different ways that we can find people. The thing that we really focused on was talking to everyone and teaching anywhere. For my mission so far we were only focused about sitting down with a person and praying to open and then taeaching doctrine but them President Senior asked us how the Savior taught. He talked about how Alma and all of the other prophets taught. They didnt have to start with an opening prayer or have to sit in a home before they started teaching people. They taught on the hills, in the streets, in the most public places. They were talking with everyone so he invited us to start doing the same. He said that if we started talking to everyone and just teaching on the street to random people that we would be able to find people to teach and will find more of Gods children to teach. It was a very cool way of teaching that we have never done before.
After that Elder Jensen and i talked about finding for another 20 min and then we designed a role play where we sat in the back of something called a songtaew ( a pick up truck that has a roof and benches to sit on in the back). It is actually a really nice way to travel and we rented 2 of them for the entire day to take us to certain places. We had the whole zone get into them and we practiced talking to everyone in the back of them while they were parked in the parking lot. We also were able to go bowling for a christmas present from the seniors. That was way fun and i was relaly bad. Most of us were because most of the people had not been bowling for over a year. President senior was really good and so was an Elder from austrailia.
After we had all of our meetings we went to a really nice hotel and the seniors took us to a buffet. They had everything that i have not been able to eat since i left america. Mom you will be jealous a little bit but i had BBQ lamb. They had a chef there that would cook it right in front of you. It was the best buffet ever! The deserts tasted like they were actually from America. All of us were so happy! I didnt eat one thing that was Asian while we ate there hahaha. Aftert that Elder Jensen and I went bakc to the church and then we taught a huge group of people and about 3 of them were really interested. We asked all of the others and most of them said they were not wanting to learn after that visit. They just wanted to know more about the culture of Christians. But there were about 3 of them that were really good and so we are going to meet them again.
This last week was way fast and this last transfer was ber fast was well. I cannot believe that i have already been here in Khon Kaen for about 6 weeks.
I love you all so much and i hope that everything is going great back at home. I love you so much and thank you for all that you have been doing to help me do this thing for the Lord. I know that you have sacrificed so much for me to be out here. Next week for Skype, we will be getting directions from President in a couple of days so i will let you know on nest monday what will happen. I love you very much have a good day.
