Companion: Elder Hess

Dear family and friends,
What is up!!! I now write on Mondays, that is my P-day, but feel free to send emails whenever. I can only look once, at about 9:00 am January 23, 2555 today, and can only send two emails. One to parents, which can be forwarded to everyone and put on Facebook, and one to the mission president, President Smith. I am having an excellent time here in Thailand. We had a baptism, but I just happened to arrive two days before. I live in Chiangrai currently, way in the north part of Thailand. It is cold in the mornings, but it does get hot later. I am used to the timechange, but with all the bike riding and investigators, I get tired at about 4:00 pm. Our investigators are very nice, but it is hard to hear them because they talk so quietly. Our members here are really great and funny! I am called Elder Sushi, and by one member, Elder Suzuki. *shakes head* At first, they were asking if I was a phuu yin (girl), but they all found out that I wasn't. I congratulate Todd Campbell, and Tanner, you shut the cake up. lol

The dogs are crazy. They are mellow one second, and angry and barking the next. No bites, thank goodness. 

OH, I forgot to tell I think, my companion is Elder Hess, he is from Fielding, UT and has been here for 1 1/2 years. He is fantastic! 

Elder Summers: I am training with Landon Hess, he says that he knows you or something.
Elder Harrison: I miss you and your wonderful Centerville voice. 
Sister Guildner: I met your dad! He came to Chiangrai for a BYU-Hawaii thing.
Sister Skalla: Whoo! You get to come to Thailand soon!!!
Sister Campos: How is your mission going?
Elder Tzanis: How is your mission going?
Elder Hansen: How is your mission going?
Elder Kofford: Hang tight buddy, you'll make it here someday. Pray for healing. 

I am already feeling better about riding bikes on busy, crazy streets because these streets are busy and the people are crazy. I hope that Mom and Dad have fun in Hawaii. I hope that school is going well. Christopher Susi, ask of God for your answer, in there lies the truth.

Ok, I think that I wrote a long enough email. Rock on, party hard,

Elder Anthony Susi
