Jaren's Mission to Bangkok, Thailand

Weekly Letter to Mission President- 26 Nov 2018: Hey president this past week has been a blur of travel and meetings. We didnt have a lot of time in our area but we worked hard and were effective with the time given. We are healthy and right now the branch is doing well.

Weekly Letter to Mission President- 19 Nov 2018: Hello! Hey by the way thanks for taking the time to interview us last week! It was really good. We're doing so good her in Chiang rai. We're finding a good amount of pretty good people and now we're just in the process of helping all of them progress to baptism. Many of them have testimonies already. Kearsley is doing good and honestly I think he could train next transfer. Hes fantastic. Im very impressed with him. These past couple weeks have been full of traveling. We've been trying very hard to keep daily track of our large investigator pool. President Hammond: I love to hear about large investigator pools!! Keep up the energy up north! 

Hey everyone! So this week's email ill just write like six mini stories if thats chill... 1. Rat from the ceiling So one day we taught an investigator and his friends and then he wanted to pay for our lunch and so he takes us to the food court at big c (pretty much walmart of thailand) and we were eating when all of the sudden something fell from the ceiling and then we looked down and it was a rat, twitching and like probably dying and everyone was freaking out haha... then it got up and like scampered away... 2. Free food temple There was a buddhist temple that was having a party with a bunch of free food so that they could get blessings from buddha. So we went and ate a ton of way good thai food. 3. Church and the family While on the way to the free food remple we met this guy and his kids at his house and we invited him and them to come to church. He came with them and his grandpa. They stayed three hours and we taught them after church. Way cool. Want them to progress so bad!!...

Our P-day last week was on wednesday because it was transfers. So what happened was the night of transfers me and hodson got a call from president and you don't get called unless your a trainer or like a DL or something so I thought Hodson was gonna train cuz hes a baller. But Presidents like hey im 90% sure your going up to Chiang rai. I was like k. So i was unsure about that for a while but then we figured it out. So right now I'm as far north as you can possibly go as a missionary in Chiang Rai and these last couple days have been fun. My new companion is on his second transfer, his name is Elder Kearsley, hes a very awesome missionary he's extremely good at the language already and has a good head on his shoulders so I don't really feel like im training, haha. But every companion has something different to give, maybe I can teach him how to do a pop-a-wheelie on a bike or something!! Haha well we have just been hitting the streets up here. The views while we drove i...
