Greetingzz

Dear Family,
Once again I am writing home without having received any mail. But It's okay, it's okay. I'm still alright. Life is great and candy is sweet.

Today I am in Bangbuathong. We are doing a switch offs with our zone leaders. We also had the opportunity to go bowling this morning with all of the Bangbuathong Elders and the Lopburi Elders. We will stay the night here because tomorrow is zone conference.
Right now I'm helping Elder Johnson with analyzing his options because his parents said that they will pay for his first year of school and will either buy him a low maintenance high millage nice scooter for school or a low price car. I personally would go for the low price car but it is still a decision that takes some consideration. It's a win win situation.
I've been doing a lot of studying in Preach My Gospel lately. There's something interesting that Aaron told me before I came to the MTC that I've been thinking about lately. He said that as long as your obedient and love the people then they will see the love in your eyes and you will find success in helping them (something like that right Aaron?). But I truly have seen that and believe that. I don't know how much people remember out of the lessons that we teach but I am sure that if they felt love and the spirit then they will continue to progress and our teaching was a success. Elder and Sister Peterson who come to our Branch every Sunday are such good examples of this. They can barely speak Thai. Our members can hardly say a few thoughts in English. Yet, the members love Elder and Sister Petersen so much and so easily. I can see it in their eyes. Well, since I was considering and praying about these things throughout the week when the time came for me to prepare my District meeting with the Zone leaders present I felt like I knew what subject I should talk about. So using scriptures and Preach My Gospel and some experiences I taught about love. We came out feeling uplifted. I feel really grateful for some of the feelings that the Lord has blessed me with. I think that it would be much more difficult to teach (especially with the spirit) and it would be harder to be happy If I didn't have any love for the Thai people. I certainly have a looong way to go but I am working on it. Charity and Love is one of the Christlike attributes.

So speaking of love, I love you guys. :)

Keep progressing towards Christ and His attributes! It is such a blessing to you and to everyone.

Love,
Elder Lilly
