Well hello there little girl (old men, friends, family and everyone else..)
It's OCTOBER... When did that happen?...and when did months turn into fortnights?
Last past week was great. We worked really hard trying to find new people to teach and helping our current investigators prepare for baptism. I was amazed by how many christian Thais we met this week (but then not when we go around asking people if they know any Christians.... it was still kinda surprising) A couple of investigators are right on track for baptism, and then others need a little more time... but such is life. I love how so individual and smart this gospel is. Heavenly Father really does love and know us all INDIVIDUALLY... That's why I'm not really worried about my future. I know that when I'm doing the things I need to do (keeping commandments and such) the Lord will help me out. So yes... I'm not going to lie. I don't want to come home.... at all... but I know it's coming...and it's starting to show up in my dreams (my dream from my nap this morning was ridiculous....) Life is crazy, I love it.. And I also don't want to talk about it.
But I will talk about the Relief Society broadcast. We took a klong monster (boat) into the city to go watch it. It was in English.. (so easy). It was so good! And Tommy was on a roll.... i loved it. How amazing is it that we have a living PROPHET! Oh man the church is true. Also interesting to note while watching the broadcast was my culture shock.... white people are WEIRD.... I'm pretty sure my companion thinks I'm weird because of how often I confuse this land as America.......I honestly feel like I'm in America...UNTIL I watched that broadcast and then it was like I was a drug addicts dream... I was so internally confused. I'm having an identity crisis... I can survive Bangkok Dangerous... but I don't know if I'll make it in White bread America (good thing I'm going back to LA... Thai town...yes please).
People.... Sorry my letters are not of any worth... I just feel like it's all a repeat for you... but I know in reality I really tell you nothing...sorry! I'm really excited for conference. I'm pretty sure it'll be all in Thai again. Yes! I love it, esp now that I understand it. I hope you all enjoyed listening to the words of our inspired leaders. Revelation is fabulous. I'm looking for some everyday. (ask and ye shall receive.)
Ok... I LOVE YOU ALL.. I hope you all have a great week. In fact.. this will be the BEST WEEK EVER... Amen.
Love, Sister O'Neil
P.S. Wendy... i LOVED your letter... My companion and I often take "glamor shots" Cody....and I love being "a part of your world"... lol..
