Yasothon district leader

February 3, 2013

Companion: Elder Marshall

Hello People of the World,

Guess what!! Transfers happened this last week and I moved. Totally crazy. I am in the middle of nowhere. It feels so good. It is called Yasothon, and it isn't busy at all. My companion's name is Elder Marshall, and there are two other Elders with us. Elder Unsworth and Elder Engle. We have had such a good week this week and the members here are awesome. A lot of people here love speaking the Isaan dialect which is also fun to speak. Our mission is growing super big. Many 2 man areas have been bumped up to 4, such as ours, and 4 missionaries got way special callings that we can't talk too much about, because we don't want rumors spreading too early. Speaking of callings: I was called as District Leader, I am in charge of 6 Elders and then a Senior couple. It has been way fun so far.

Something that I get to do with my district is to find a new house for us four Yasothon Elders. Things are already to stop us and make things difficult. Bummer. Also, Elder Engle is without a bike, which is a HUGE problem in this area. We are all working on that.

That is my week. I hope y'all have a good one and Happy Birthday Mom.

Elder Anthony Susi



Special calling: “By invitation, the Thailand Bangkok Mission received approval to have four young service volunteers to labor in Vientiane, Laos.  These service volunteers will work with Deseret International Charities under the direction of the Senior Couples who are located in Vientiane, and will be involved in a variety of humanitarian and educational service opportunities, including clean water projects, hygiene, neo-natal education and English language instruction.  The young volunteers will also support the Branch activities of the Laotian Saints in Vientiane, Laos.  The Church is not yet officially recognized in Laos and this recent activity is for the purpose of providing additional educational and humanitarian service.”
