Hey!
I've been in Thailand for about one month now! Hooray! It has been so crazy! Why does everyone keep saying that I have lost like a ton of weight? Because it's true? I've been biking like almost everywhere and I am starting to feel hungry all the time. I feel like I am eating constantly at the house, but it must not stick. I've gotten a lot darker too! 
I hear that Brother Ton is friends with you on Facebook.  Let everybody know if you want an update on me earlier than Monday that they should be friends with him. A Sister Gee(gay) should be asking to be friends also. Totally accept. ( like totally awesome). Brother Ton said that he saw Glacier and thinks he is cute.  
So, our two investigators with dates are totally not a dater anymore. Sad day. But we have two new daters, Hooray!!!!!!!!!! One of them, is totally almost yelling at us that she wants to get babtized this week, instead of on the 3rd of March. Way cool! The other one is almost the same way! Yay! I don't want to spend a ton of time explaining, I'll probably tell you later, I've also been keeping up on the journal. Don't worry, I've got it covered. 
Teaching English is hard. A lot of it is explaining, especially vocabulary. Because you have to think really hard, you use these words for a good portion of your life and then have to go and define and simplify these words. It's like explaining what salt tastes like to someone that has never had salt before. 
I still have not submitted myself to the spicy foods. Never have, never will. haha.
We had a trial week this last week. Almost every lesson that was planned was canceled, while inviting, no one would let us talk to them, saying "I'm busy" and it was so hot and our bikes were having issues. 

Five words in Thai:

lxan: choose
phayayam: try
hay aphay: forgiveness
mxan: same
baan: home

Okay, that looks good to me.
Sees y'all later, 
Elder Anthony Susi

P.S. I don't think I said this. "Happy Late Birthday Mommy!" 
okay, now I'm done
