woot mail!

Dear family,

Yay I finally got the letters! I must say that not getting ANY mail for two weeks is no fun. I think there were two nights that week that our family crept into my dreams.

This week has been great! Our investigator Pawn set a date to get Baptised on the 6th of next month! She is excited to be clean and get the gift of the Holy Ghost. She's starting to tell all of her customers that she will be closing her Tailoring store on Sundays. She makes me laugh too because she is a women with a lot of attitude. But really she is all talk. She is a sweet lady. We also taught Id. As you might recall she was struggling with the faith of her past. I'm sure she felt like she was abandoning her ancestors by setting aside the traditions that she inherited. This week we taught her a special lesson. I felt good about this lesson in the planning process and was particularly excited to teach about it. The subject was Temples and Family History. I think that Id felt the Spirit in that lesson and she agreed to tryout obeying the Ten Commandments. AKA not worshiping images and giving offerings. If she follows through I am sure that she will get the spiritual witness that she is looking for.

So tomorrow is Moves day and surprisingly enough Elder Rovig who just came here last moves is going to be moving. That leaves me to lead the area for one more move period. I am very glad to stay. I am excited to see Pawn and hopefully many others on their Baptismal date. I hope that Pawn's conversion will help her crazy cool husband to start learning as well. One baptism should always lead to two!

Well, Happy late Birthday to Diana and Eli and Jennifer. Mikes Birthday is coming up too. Are we out of money yet? JK!! I hope Mike does something super sweet.

Thanks for all of the great letters. And happy mothers day (in Thailand).

Lots of Love!
-Elder Lilly
