Companion: Elder Todd
Hello all creatures of our God and King,
how are you doing? Some crazy news in Utah! I didn't know that Heidi had a baby?! Wow! Evan looks like she is so much fun! So no more news huh? Bummer. I hope that everyone had a fantastic week. I know that I sure did.
So, on Monday, last week, I made a box for my Urim and Thummim SE-ED Edition. They are just two different dictionaries, and English-to-Thai and a Thai-to-English. I took a flap from my Easter box and got a lot of tape and made a little box. Easy.
Our Tuesday was a very interesting day. We were going to go visit an Elder that had to come up here to his home town to heal for a bit, and we needed to go get a map. After we couldn't find an updated map for Chiangrai, I started to look at my seat. The screw was bent. Oh, a few weeks ago, my bike seat broke off my bike. So, I needed a new bike seat stand, not a screw like I've gotten before. Dumb. We went to our usual bike place, but they couldn't fix it. They recommended a place across town and over the river. So, we went on a broken bike for a half-hour over to this place, and they fixed it. Story one of Tuesday complete.
So, we went inviting over behind a golf course, and we found some people, but no lessons unfortunately. We were waiting for some guy to get out of his car for a second, when a little boy suantered over to Elder Todd, and looked up at him. When I looked over, the kid was doing some weird smile. I don't know. So, after the guy didn't work out, the kid started to talk to us, and take us to his parents. Turned out the old ladies didn't want to talk to us, sad day. "Where are we going?" I turned around and the kid was following us. No biggie. So, we stopped and talked to him. He is from Australia, has a Thai mom, and a British dad, he is like 10 years old, and can see ghosts. Wait, what? "I can see ghosts." We were like shocked. "I can see a dead chicken behind [Elder Todd], it's moving. I don't know why, cause it shouldn't." We were so weirded out, this kid was like a mystic or something. We then had the privilege to discover how he obtained these powers, "I rubbed some slobber from a black dog in my eyes." For those of you who don't know superstitions, a black dog represents death, so I guess something from one helps you to see ghosts. Story two done.
The third one is easy. After leaving English class, some strange noises happened behind me. The bungie cord that was on Elder Todd's bike somehow got stuck in his chain/gears and broke. He spent a half-hour at the house getting it out, after fifteen minutes at the church getting it detatched. Done.
On Wednesday, we taught a lady that comes to English class about the Restoration. She was already interested and said that she wanted to come to church. Score. She's cool, because she and her friend work at Sizzler, so when we went on Saturday to start our fast, we had like the best Sizzler experience ever. I got the letter/envelope from the family on Thursday. It was so fun to see, and I think that the picture that has Matthew and Kobe is way funny. I like the photography class pictures too. Thursday night, we had some Eesan food for dinner, which leads to. . . Diarrhea on Friday!!! Wow, it was so bad, and both of us had it. That's all I'll say about that. Well yes, Sister Smith did make a 2L water drinking requirement. I've been working on doing it, the other day, I drank a whole liter. Only half way, water is still so gross. Yesterday, was Fast Sunday. Wow, so good. I got up and bore my testimony, and I was so nervous. I think that it's been a while since I did it willingly. Everyone laughed at me, but in a good way. Good times.
So yeah, that was my week. Great stories yeah?
Lots of love,
Elder Anthony Susi
