This week literally went by like a flash on the camera of life... haha I'm so happy to tell you about it though not much has changed, were still doing about six hours of language study and teaching every day, it rained this week here witch was for some reason pretty nice we've been here almost a month and it feels like a week. I love playing basketball and kan jam and spike ball here during excersise time, its really nice. This week my goal for lessons was trying to move sort of off writing down what I'm going to say before and just saying it. even though I'm still not super great, Im improving and that what matters. I'm only three weeks into the mtc and I've learned so much. I can pray in Thai and testify a little bit. I can describe things and say what I like about them. and I know that heavenly father is helping me out along the way I usually just feel like surges of energy in class when I feel like not doing anything and it just makes me happy when I think about christ.

Our entire sunday was on repentace, the talks and the lessons, We usually all prepare a talk and then at sacrament meeting they call a random person up, it wasn't me but I know my time is coming. Anyways so we all prepared for it and I learned a lot about it. I'm gonna be honest I didn't really picture repentance as something the you do everyday and just think of the tiny things you can do better and better yourself through that. I have made it a goal to do that every night. 

Also we prepared a lesson for preisthood this sunday and it was on agency and obedience, then they realized that we weren't going to teach because they asked to many to teach so were teaching next week. BUT, I was going to share an experience that one time I was skiing and ducked the ropes on a powder day to get fresh snow and i related that to not taking heed of the rules and risking hurting myself. This is like the principle that we need to trust in god and his commandments that they will protect us in ways we cant really fathom. Well I wanna go on a hike really bad but ill get enough of that in Thailand and the food is good going down but after that eh, lets just say that our dorm usually smells a little off after a meal. Love the people of my Homie home town haha. I have also learned a lot about myself that I didn't know before. I'm growin up... kind of, I think I will always have some degree of child in me.

Phom rag khun!!!
