Companion: Elder Tanawut
Hello, people of the world,
This last week has definitely been different, I've felt different. This last week, I've been reading our Liahonas and Ensigns at night and in the morning. I have definitely noticed something. Anyway, here is my week:
So, remember how I'm a big nerd, and remember how you said that you saw MIB3 last week and remember that I'm a big nerd? Well, I was at our "mall" last week and a trailer for Men in Black 3 started to play on there little TVs. I tried not to, but watched the trailer. I couldn't hear anything, and I can't read Thai fast enough to know that I wouldn't understand it anyway. Oh, I was soooo trunkie afterwards and then just all these nerdy thoughts kept popping into my head that day/ night. Grrr. So, I got over it, no big deal. On Tuesday, during English, I was talking with a member. She had asked about my drinking water, and I was like, "It's coming." She got all upset, saying that need to drink water! I know that! Sillies! Leave me alone, I don't like the taste!
So on Wednesday, I had my first REAL District Meeting: it included more than 2 people, real conversations, all Thai, everything. Everything that my other district meetings didn't have. That was fun, I get to go on switch-offs this week. Yay! Later, when we returned home, we started planning. In the middle of planning, Elder Tanawut asked, "Do you like that?" I look down to the side of my desk and a big spider is scittering across the boxes on the floor, on the floor in my direction! I throw everything I'm holding on my desk and push myself in my rolly chair away from the desk going, AHHHH! It disappeared and later, after I made myself popcorn to soothe myself, Elder Tanawut said that he had "taken care of it." I didn't really believe him, then he added that spiders are why our upstairs is out of operation. Spiders everywhere, ones even bigger than the one I saw. If you want a description, search: "Australia: where spiders are so big, they have healthbars" into Google. It should be a picture of a spider next to some curtains with a red "health" bar above it. Like in video games. The next day, I decided that the last bag of popcorn needed to go. I had pulled it out of the box, when suddenly, Elder Tanawut appeared. "What's that?" He had asked that, silly. He took it and looked at the unpopped popcorn and just had a confused look on his face. I opened the microwave and he got more confused. He then WATCHED the popcorn pop in the microwave until I pulled it out. He was just like I don't get it and walked away.
On Saturday, we were coming back from a lesson when we noticed a parade was starting. It was then that I learned that Thai parades are way sketchy: full of trannies, drunk people and other indescribable things not for children. We were outta there fast. Later, we passed out some English Class handouts. I was passing them out with big smiles when these two weird teenage girls came and grabbed one. They made those weird "we-are-teenage-girls-trying-to-flirt" giggles, and walked away. I continued to pass out handouts and I was turning my body to help give one out when I saw two familiar faces. Those weird girls! They were chilling in the, ugh, panty-and-bra shop watching me while looking at bras and panties. Dumb. Also two other girls passed by me like three times in twenty minutes. Stupid. Yesterday, after church, we were gonna watch the Restoration DVD with an investigator. In there was a blind member that was gonna help, and he wasnt' really facing the TV set, not that he could see it or anything. It moved him to a different spot in the room, next to me, so he wouldn't be off by himself. After I had moved him, he looks in my direction and says, "Do you have charity?" The world kinda stopped, I hadn't even thought of that. I was just helping him move to another location, I thought. Hmm, charity. The last thing we did before going home, was have dinner. We had it at a member's house. She is from Clearfield, and she loves making missionaries dinner on Fast Sunday. She made us hamburgers! Wow, they were good. She also had barbeque chicken legs, potato chips, ice cream, Sprite, it just kept coming. All in all, it was so good to have a delicious burger.
