Here in the Bangna(sty) it is pretty nuts. So many people. We don't use
our bikes...at all. It has stayed locked up at our apartment building. We
probably could use our bikes here, the traffic isn't that bad, but E. Terry is
banned from his bike (Doc's orders). So we walk everywhere, use buses, the
skytrain, taxis and tuktuks. It is pretty exhausting. My little legs get real
tired.
Sam, your week sounds way fun. Ridiculous. Which resorts did you hit up?
Are you really doing a study abroad in Paris? As for suits, I haven't bought
one yet. But my companion did. See the pics.
Mom, Happy Birthday! Did you buy a house? Where is it? Does it have a
secret cavern where I can stash my batman memorabilia?
Dad, you are a great example. True story.
Katie, did you get your fellowship? How is the Spanish branch?
Jeremy, you are so rad, especially in your white coat. Did you flex on the
audience after they put it on you?
Gma Creer, I have always thought dish washers had a very relaxing, easing
hum to them.
I had my first district meeting this week. It went well. The zone leaders
were there too...pressure! We talked about teaching simply. It is our
responsibility to teach these people simply enough that they can use their
agency to make a correct choice. We are to prepare them to use their agency
wisely, help them see the consequences. So to practice this, we did a role play
where we pretended to teach a 10 year old the message of the Restoration. It
was pretty challenging. After district meeting, I exchanged with one of the
zone leaders (E. Raven) and went to Asoke. Asoke is the beast. Imagine the dog
from The Sandlot...then imagine him in city form. Just kidding, that doesn't
make any sense at all. Anyway, it is the busiest part of Bangkok. There are
tons of people and the traffic is nuts. The buildings are huge. It is
chaos.
My favorite scripture of the week is D&C 97:8. It tells us what Christ
expects of us. He expects us to sacrifice...in all things that he commands.
That is quite a sacrifice, but when we think of the blessings that are waiting
for us, it is completely worth it.
2nd favorite scripture is D&C 64:34. Christ doesn't want our
obedience. Or our actions. He wants us. He wants our hearts. And our minds.
In fact, he requires it. It is up to us to give it to Him.
Everything is great. I love you all.
Much Love,
Elder M. Riley Creer
