Pictures!

So fun! We were all together again! 2 of the Elders had already left Bangkok before we thought to take a picture together. Darn it. But at least we got most of us!

Our District!

Greetings from Heaven!!!

I hope this finds everyone well!! Things here are wonderful!! I just, oh! My heart is just so filled with joy!! I can't even describe how merciful the Lord has been to us this last week! Seriously. Maybe someday I'll be able to explain. But I just want to thank all of you for your prayers, I know that a huge part of my blessings are coming from all of you and your prayers. So thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! Thank you so much for all your emails and letters and support!! I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful family!! I just am so grateful for this blessing of serving the Lord and His children here in Thailand!! It seems like we are just being guided to so many people that are prepared to hear the gospel! Pres. Smith wants to split Chiang Mai into two branches next year and we really are starting to see things take place so that it can happen. We are focusing on families, most importantly, Melchizedek Priesthood holders!! Yeah!! I love being a missionary! I'm so happy! The church is so true!!

A Key Was Turned in Latter Days‏

Well hello again!! How was everyone's week?? Things here are great as ever!! The Lord still never ceases to amaze or bless me!! I just love being a part of this great work! This last week we have really seen the Lord's hand in helping us find new investigators. And by "find" I mean that we are getting referrals and people from English class, so nothing really that we do! It is such a humbling experience! One cute little family I want to tell you about is Phii Id and her daughter Noon. They are so darling! Noon came to English class two weeks ago and they agreed for us to go to their home and teach them more about our church. They are both Christian but right now they just feel like the church they are going to isn't the right one :) last night we gave them a Book of Mormon and taught the Restoration. While I was saying the first vision I had to keep myself from laughing because they both were just one the edge of their seats listening so intently! It made me so excited! I love sharing this amazing message with others!! I think that is the biggest lesson I've learned. How important it is to share the gospel!! I love being a missionary! I'm so happy! The church is so true!!

Bless Our Fast, We Pray!‏

I love Fast Sundays!!

Thank you everyone so much for all your prayers and your support!! It really helps so much!! I hope all is well and that everyone had a great sunday!! Is everyone ready for the big news?? SO....I'm still in Heaven! Yeah! And I have TWO companions! Sister Surge, she is from back east and is way super cute! She was companions with Sister Lish in the MTC. And then the surprise is I'm companions with Sister Henderson again too!! (We served in Lopburi together for 6 weeks remember?) Anyways it is great joyous fun already! I'm looking forward to working hard with both of them! Transfers meeting was at the brand new church in Pakkret! So nice! It was so fun seeing all my Elders and Sisters in the mission! It was hard seeing Sister Eyestone leave but I know she is off to bigger and better things!

Yesterday, Sister Green and Brother Nong made it to church for the first time!! Sister Green is friends with Sister Daa and Sister Mote and Bro. Nong is a referral from the Bangkok Elders. They both are doing great and are looking forward to getting baptized at the end of the month! They are so awesome and it seriously is so humbly to be apart of this work! Its always fun getting new companions and seeing how they do things and learning how to work together as a team. Yesterday we went with Sister Namtaan and Sister Rin and went around to big condos and knocked on doors. Haha it was so exciting! I think it is a great thing to do on a rainy sunday afternoon :) Well I don't really have anything too exciting...things are just great as ever! I'm so happy! I love being a missionary! The church is so true!!

THE TWINS ARE HERE!!! YEAH!! This morning for some reason I was just extra excited to come email and now I know why!! Its because I needed to come find out that the twins were born!! Yeah!! Summer you are such a champ!! I'm so proud of you!! I'm so proud of ALL you mothers!! Thank you so much for being such great examples to me! Well I'm so glad all is well in Zion!! :) Things here are just fabulous like always! Someone in Heaven turned the sprinklers on and it has been raining the last couple of days. But we don't mind! It is still beautiful here!! We go to Bangkok this week to renew our visas, either Sister Eyestone or I am probably gonna get bounced from Chiang Mai so next week I'll let ya know! I love it here so much! I love the people so much too! But it is crazy how fast things change in the missionary world. One day you are on top of the world and thinking all of your investigators are going great! And then the next you feel like you don't have anyone. Kinda how we felt yesterday at church, it was raining really hard ( bad excuse if you ask me) but none of our investigators were able to make it to church. Disappointed? Yes. Defeated? Never!! That just means we will work extra hard this week!! I feel like right now we are kinda going through all our investigators and the ones that aren't really progressing we are going to just put them on the shelf for a little bit and go find some newbies!!

Last Monday me and Sister Eyestone went over to our land ladies house and made pumpkin bread, apple bread and papaya bread!! I must admit, it was quite delicious! And so much fun! We also made some s'mores!!! We roasted the s'mores while I cooked the pumpkin. So good!! We didn't find any graham crackers, but we found some amazing marshmallow's that had chocolate inside of them!!! The rest of the week we had fun delivering bread to members and investigators. (and giving the leftovers to the Elders at District Meeting :)

Friday we had an experience that taught me how amazing my little brother Scott is. We ran into this German man and started talking to him. And right away I could tell that he had had such a hard life and I felt so bad for him. He just seemed so bitter about life and had no hope. Anyways, I just look up to you so much Scott!! And Mike! and Dave!! And all my brothers and cousins!! :) You are all such great examples to me! I know that the Lord sent you to Germany because you can help all those poor souls who have been hurt and left hopeless!! Thank you everyone so much for all your letters and emails!! sure love you all!! I have the best family in the whole world!! I love being a missionary! I'm so happy! The church is so true!! Loves!!

In Humility Of Our Savior!!‏

OH IT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! I wish you all were here!! It is just absolutely gorgeous weather today!! Perfect 24th of July day! How is everyone doing?? This week was awesome!! So many stories I want to tell you! Firstly, Namtaan got baptized yesterday! Yeah!!! She is so darling and it was just such a special day! She brought one of her friends and she said she was interested so we are going to start teaching her too! Scott I totally agree with you. It is all about the Young Single Adults and them getting their friends to start learning! I look up to them so much, I can't even imagine being the only member in my family. They are so solid!

Speaking of family. I love you family!! This morning I was reading over the Family Proclaimation to the World. And I just love you all so much! I love you mom and dad!! I love you brothers and sisters! I love you grandparents! I love you aunts and uncles! I love you cousins! I love you nieces and nephews!! I love you all!! I love my Heavenly Father for blessing me with all of you!! I'm so grateful for the knowledge I have that I know I'll be with ALL of you FOREVER. FOREVER. FOREVER. (Pretend I'm saying that like the kid on The Sandlot :)

Also another random miracle story!! So...I love Thai food right. And I'm perfectly fine not eating American food. But ever since I've came into country I've missed bagels so much. Random food to miss I know, but hey. Anyways so the other night I was laying in bed and for some random reason I remembered the bagel sandwiches at the Old Grist Mill that me and Lauren used to always go get. And I was like oh! That sounds so good! And then I feel asleep. Well. I kid you not. That next day me and Sister Eyestone were out inviting and it was lunch time so we decided to stop at this way cute store called "Sister Sandwiches" I mean with a name like that how could we pass it by!! And guess what?!? they had bagel sandwiches!!!!!!! haha. I know you are all probably thinking I'm crazy. But hey. I think it was the Lord just giving me a little boost :)

Well...there are millions of other miracles that I would love to tell you all about! But I think that is all for today! Thank you all so much for all you all do for me!! I'm SO grateful and love you all SO much!! More than you'll ever know!! And don't worry I won't play with tigers anymore ;) Me and Sis today are going to see if we can find some gram crackers and marshmellows and see if we can whip up some smores!!! I'm so happy!! I love being a missionary! The church is so true!! Loves!!!

Another amazing week to be a missionary!!! I hope everyone had a great week and that all is going well!! Things here are fabulous!! Do you know in the scriptures sometimes Alma or Nephi will say that a hundredth part they haven't even written. Well basically that is how I feel. I wish all of you could just see and know all of these amazing experiences! But alas, I am not mighty in emailing...so this will have to do for now :)

This week we had a great Special Training from the Zone Leaders! President and Sister Smith and the Assistants came up for it too! It was on helping our investigators receive revelation through church attendance. It was real good. That is something that I've learned/grown to appreciate so much! I never realized how important it is to go to church. When we teach about the sacrament we explain how we are renewing our covenants that we made at baptism. Then I like to give an example about how as missionaries we have to go to Bangkok every three months to renew our visa or we can't go back home! And then tell them that is how it is with the sacrament. We have to go renew our "visa" to heaven or we CAN'T go back to our Father's Home. Yeah for the sacrament and yeah for church!!

At one of the big malls here in Chiang Mai there is a World Food Festival going on. We went a couple days ago and are going to go back today!! Such good food!! Well I love being a missionary! I'm so happy! The church is so true!! So love and miss you all! Thanks so much for everyone's emails!! And your love and prayers and support! I am the most blessed Sister missionary in the world!! :)

PS can I just brag about Scott for a minute :) There is an Elder Maple here, he lives by Rocky Mtn. Jr. High. When I found out he went to Fremont I asked if he knew Scott. "Scott is your little brother!!" he replied. "Sure is!!" I said. "I love that kid!!" he said. :) It just made my day to talk to someone who had nothing but good things to say about my dear baby brother!! I hope you know how much I love you Elder Chambers. I look up to you so much and I'm so proud of you!! I know that no matter where you go you leave such a great impression on people!! I hope I can be like you when I grow up someday!!

Also, Sidne he said that you were very sweet and nice to everyone too :) I told him, I know, she is my little sister :)
