Dear Family,

Last Sunday our investigator named Em got Baptized! I forgot to mention that he passed the interview in my last letter. Oh well. The speakers called Em their brother as they spoke to him and bore their testimonies. Em's entire family came to the Baptismal service. Early on Sunday morning Brother Tahm prepared a large bouquet of flowers to be placed under the stand for Em's Baptism. Altogether the members really made the Baptismal service a special occasion. I think that the Branch in Korat is growing. There's a fire in the members. More and more we are seeing members serving each other and asking us for opportunities to serve.

I believe that in my last letter I spoke about praying for three names from a list of each of the members in order to find out God's will concerning which members we need to teach. Our aim was to teach them in order to receive referrals from them. But two of the names that we prayed about were not on eachother's list of three. So instead of teaching a referral lesson we decided to visit those two names and have family home evening with them. So last Monday we planned to go visit brother Owe. The hour before our appointment another one of our investigators called us and we met him and taught him at the church. This unexpected appointment put us behind in our plan and we therefore did not have enough time to bike over to Brother Owe's house. Instead, we called a Tuk Tuk driver to come pick us up. But we didn't call just any Tuk Tuk driver, we called our investigator named Guu. Guu is so poor. He lives or rather sleeps in a small hut. He has to pay rent on his car that he uses to ferry people around like a Taxi. Between the rent on his hut and his car he has very little money left over to spend on food and other necessities. Some days he might make good money, but then another day he might not get enough money to even pay the rent. If he doesn't make enough money during the day then he needs to drive during the night too. Usually he gets about 4 hours of sleep. So as you can tell, he rarely has time to come and learn with us anymore. But on this most auspicious of nights, he stayed. Brother Owe was just what he needed. The lesson we taught was about the power of faith. Guu has already learned all of the lessons necessary before Baptism but he is struggling with quitting smoking. Because he wasn't progressing , we set him aside for a time, and stopped teaching him. I think that this Family home evening lesson helped Guu in his need. But we might not have thought about holding a family home evening with Brother Owe had we not prayed about the list of names.

The Sister's are experiencing many mighty miracles as well. The last lesson that I taught in our District meeting was about Faith. I used several principals that I learned from a certain talk by Elder Greg Cook that I got from Aaron to help in teaching. It was a powerful lesson. The Sister missionaries said that they were filled with faith during the day when they needed it. They are teaching Em's wife named Sally. Sally has a goal to be baptized on the last Sunday before moves. She needs to meet with the sisters 3 times a week in order to succeed in her goal but her only day off is Sunday. Any other day is not sure. But, thus far they have been able to meet with Sally on every appointment. When all goes as we hope, Em will be the one to baptize her.

Love ya,

Elder Lilly
