Greetings from Siam,

Dearest family and friends... please forgive me letters, as I know they are not really informative or of worth lately. I'm trying to repent.

This week was great! We had a mission tour with Elder Perkins (In the Asian area presidency) which consisted of a full day of feasting ( on the good word and delicious Thai food). It was great to meet them, and it reminded me of last years tour with Elder Pratt. The two are so opposite, but both incredible. I especially loved getting to know sister Perkins a tiny bit. We talked all about receiving personal revelation and did a good activity of writing down two questions at the beginning of the meeting, and seeing how quickly the Lord Answers you. So yes. I would suggest that everyone do this kind of activity in your personal study or when watching conference or anything or the sort.. It's amazing how much you can receive when you ask. (thank you scriptures... ask and you shall receive) Truth. Fact. Awesome. It's changed my life, again. So that day was fun...especially the surprise talk I had to give. Thank goodness I prepared something. (also another principle I've been learning- preparation. Preparation is everything! Just read the scriptures again and see how important it is..and then think about the plan of salvation too... what is the purpose of life? yes, that's right... preparing.) This week we hosted a new Thai sister for a day. She just went to the MTC with the 8 other Thai missionaries who will be entering next moves. Sister Alisa is so cute. Plus it was fun to be with a khon Thai again. I think it would have been fun to be with another Thai companion at the end of my mission... but I've only ever had one...Sister Cherry (love). Maybe will get to host Sister Alisa again the week before moves... that would be fun. This week it rained a lot.. Thank goodness it didn't rain for more than 3 hours at a time... In only that 3 hours that it poured it flooded our entire street... a couple more hours and we would have come home to a flooded house... So good thing it rains in spurts and has some drain time.


Ok.. soo things are good and I love my life. I hope you all have a great week and I will talk to you next week.

Love,

Sister O'Neil
