So, how are we?
It sounds like everyone has had an eventful week, and school starts up again soon. Great. Not too much excitement over there, and honestly, not too much over here either.
Tuesday: We had District Meeting with the Zone Leaders, and it turned out that was the same one that I had like three weeks ago. Good to review. Had my first meeting as an English Leader, and I guess it went well. Nobody complained afterwards.
Thursday: Somebody (Elder Thacker) was having a very gassy day, he wasn't feeling very good. So he decided to take this thing called "Beauty Drink" that is supposed to help.
Saturday: This is our most exciting day. We went looking for Less Active Members, and it was hot and stuffy and we got chased by dogs. What?! First time ever that I've had dogs REALLY chase me. It was kinda scary. They got close enough that I had to kick at one. I planted a shoe on his head and he veered off and the dogs stopped chasing me. Apparently, it was a good kick. Continue.
The Sisters in the area had a baptism. Score for the Sisters. Finally, we end our day at home. Trying to now relax at home and enjoy our personal time when we get a phone call. "Hello, I have your food." Weird, we didn't order anything. "I'm from McDonalds, I have the food that you ordered." Still weird. Hang up. Twenty minutes later, we get a knock on our day. McDonalds guy is standing there. "Here is your food." Let us see the receipt. The name is correct, the address is correct, but the phone number is wrong. Who is it? Call it, and the Elders in Samut Prakan answer. They ordered food from McDonalds and he took it to the wrong place. Wow.
Well, that's it. Like I said, not too much. I'll see you around and talk to y'all soon,

Bangkok!!!
August 19, 2012
Companion: Elder Thacker
Big news everyone,
I am in Bangkok! Crap. I'm already scared of everything here. Traffic is a mess, I don't really use my bike much. Things are expensive. The list goes on and on. Bangkok is actually the name of the province, and I am in the city, Bangna. It's ok I guess. Anyway, here is my week:
Monday: After I emailed last week, Elder Slaughter, Buss, Staten and I went to this one place where we could climb these dinosaurs. Elder Tzanis and Mondragon went off to visit a member, seeing it would be the last time Elder Mondragon would be in Galasin for a while. The dinosaurs were cool, the whole province is way into dinosaurs! I couldn't get very high, because I can't climb. Bummer.
Tuesday/Wednesday: I packed and got ready to move.
Thursday: We had to take this bus from Khon Kaen to Bangkok because so many people were moving. It didn't get there until 1:00 am. Made it to Bangkok, and had our Moves Meeting. I found out that I am with Elder Thacker! He is from Melbourne, Australia.
Sunday: Had my first church meeting here. It was interesting. I got a new nickname, Sister Susi. Why?! I went from Elder Sushi in Chiangrai to deg noy in Mahasarakham, to here. Wow, I just can't get a break, can I?

Hello everybody,
This week has been a long one. Not too much is happening, but a lot is. Make sense?
Monday: We went and bought a bookcase for our study room and so that Elder Buss could get all his stuff off the floor. I also found a My Little Pony shirt, but not an older generation. It is awesome, and kind of a new nerd thing.
Wednesday: We had switch-offs, I was with Elder Slaughter again in Roi-Et. We had rain all day, and didn't really teach anybody. The switch-off was cut short when we got word that one of the Sisters was going home. I was back home that night.
Thursday: I worked on my satchel some more. Still a work in progress. Elder Buss said I was in some crazy moods.
Saturday: One of our daters had her interview for baptism. We had a Mother's Day celebration at the church, and it was interesting to see. They celebrate Mother's Day by the queen's birthday, which was yesterday, the 12th. It was funny, we had testimonies, music numbers and dance numbers.
Sunday: Found some Jehovah's Witnesses out inviting, and we had to talk to them, but we couldn't find them later after our studies. We did find their church though for future reference.

Wow, exciting! What is this Kingdom Hearts that I am hearing about? If it the one that I've been waiting for for years, I'll be way sad. It's good that everyone has some good news. Good news is good. This week has actually been kinda boring.
Tuesday: It was Elder Buss's birthday. He is 20. We went to go teach a new investigator, and it turns out that he lives 10km away! I was sooo tired! We did that same ride later in the week. By the way, both times were on a bike. My butt hurt.
Wednesday: Our district meeting was dead. One of the Sisters is going home, and the senior couple also wasn't there, they usually put in a lot of input, but now they are 1st counselor to the Mission President.
That's basically all that happened this week. We just had a really long week, barely any investigators, no lessons, long days at the house.
See ya later,
