This week was great. This morning I went and played with tigers. True
Story. It was pretty awesome. We played with baby tigers and the big boys too.
Fun stuff.
This week I went to Lampang on exchanges. It was way fun. E. Berbert is
way funny. This is his first transfer so he is pretty new, but way hilarious.
We had a good time. #thathurtstheteammoment: We were teaching these two guys
off the invite and it was going great at first. We said an opening prayer and
one guy said he felt the power of it. Yes. We start talking about who God is
and how he helps us. I was trying to explain how with the gospel they can have
more happiness than they have now, I said, "You can have more happiness than
this." Then one guy says, "You're gonna need to speak clearer than this for me
to understand." Ouch. Then it went downhill from there. We asked to make a
return appointment. Nope. Asked for their number to call them later. No
bueno. They flipped, "What do you want my number for? What if you call me and
I'm outta town?" It was pretty weird. Nutshell: Trainwreck. Ironically they
worked for the train station.
So Sister It, the sister that failed her interview last time, passed. She
will get baptized on Friday. Go Team! Her son should interview this week and
hopefully get baptized on the same day. That will be sweet. Brother Rak
(translates to Brother Love) will interview on Tuesday too. So this could be a
very good week.
Transfers are this week. We'll find out tomorrow if anyone is moving and
if we need to go down to the meeting or not. E. Wilamas really doesn't want to
move but it's likely he will. We'll see though, anything could happen.
Spiritual Business: This week we learned about Becoming. The entire
mission received training on a talk by Elder Oaks from 2002 titled 'The
Challenge to Become.' It is amazing. It talks about how knowing and
declaring is not enough. We need to do and become. That
is the purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this life too, to become like
Christ. If we want to go to the Celestial Kingdom we need to do the
things that will help us become the type of person worthy to inherit our
Father's kingdom. I gained a new perspective on things this week. Great talk.
Read it.
Much Love,
Elder M. Riley Creer
