Having fun in Thailand

Trying to become a Thai princess or eating a frozen coconut (picture below). A few of the fun things to do in Thailand

MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its good to hear from you:) yesterday during scripture study i was studying about the love of christ and God. and i came to the conclustion that we cant comprhend the lov eof God bc it is too great for our minds. but the love of a mother comes very close:) thank you for you love for me. i know you do love me. i have been blessed to have a wonderful mother in my life. one that love the gosple and has taught it to me. Thank you. I have yet to give a talk in sacrament, bu t when we move to a new area hte 1st sunday they usually ask us to bear our testimony. so i have done that twice now. Yes you do need to get the package out, before thanksgiving, bc moves meeting is dec. 17th. They do have a christmas activity but its nothing like at home:( i mgoing to miss the lights the decorations the music the whole spirit of chirstmas that is back in the states. we went to a members house that is philipean and their house was already decorated with christmas. i felt at home, we have been singing chirstmas song and have a plan to go carroling to members and give them cookies or an ornament.

Most thai wear the same thing that americans wear. nothing too different. everyone has a jacket with them so when they go outside they put it on, bc uslike us americans who lik eto be dark they don't like it and they will wear a sweater in the middle of the summer. Which i have caught on too. i bought some sleves, just cut the sleves off a shrist and wear them. :) they are fun sis. lo and i have some. the sun is really hot!!!!! wvwryone says that its goign tot be cooling off but so far i don't believe them bc it hot like and Arizona hot.
I have decided to grow my hair out too:) it is to my the top of my shoulders. i put it in a side pony thai and have bought some long ribbon to act like a headband and then tie a bow with the end around the hair . i finally found how to be cute in this HOT HOT weather.:)

Well im on moves 6. sisters only have 11 moves during their time in the feild.

Everyone is ravinga bout New Moon, and i hear everyone love jacob, that he is better looking than Edward? what do you t hink. Weve have girl invite us to go see it with them when it comes out. But i guess it can wait another 8 months. Im glad the counsins are still haveing a girls night, tell them i send my love and i will be there next year:) and have fun. Do you know what the boys are doing? \

How did eric propose? May... june... july. 2 more months! just kidding. they can go on with out me:) I exspect pictures and LOTS of information. about what is going on. Im happy for them. Yeah another older sister, and the best things about it is i know her already:) and i love her.

I don't think e. clark i s here yet, then the elder who just got home is e. shill. we never served in the same district but he was in the Isan when i was there.

I ate somemore crickets the other day:) they arn't to bad they kinda taste like cornnuts, ooo send those too.
The only different is when eating cornnuts you don't get legs or anteni stuck in your teeth :) HAHA,

Thai is coming along, everyday it still amazes me that i am speaking another language, i dream in thai i think i thai. its crazy. and when i get home o might have an oppertunity to work some where were i con use thai. i lady came to church who has a non prophet organizaton to help thai hill tribs. it is located in AZ.

Man i love thailan and chaingmai but i think =this is my last moves here:( i hope i get one more but that is still up in the air
our mission is being cut doen to 92 missionaries :(

ok i think i said all i needed to.
MOM i love you

MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man i wish i could have some time just to lay in bed in the morning. Actually we did that this morning. we woke up and just started talking about our day. Today i got my roller coaster fix:) no it wasn't the flght of the gibbons the zip line. we took a saunt taw up to this wat at the top of this mountain. climbed the 300 steps to meet the elders at the top. the elders rode their bikes up there, it took them 2-3 hours to get there. ( it took us 30 min :) ) after resting. which we needed bc we ran up the 300 steps ok tryed to run up all the steps got 1/2 way and i felt like crawling which i did :) i do have a picture of that. it took us 2 min 13 sec to reach the elder. they timed us. Then with back on our bikes and then the decent down the mountain on the bike:)
SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was a roller coaster with out the loops or spins. but it was just as fun. the wind in your face, the endranalin pumping. That i think is one of the best things i have done in thailand. Other than riding an elephant:) we wanted to pay the 150 baht agin to go to the wat or even farthur. So to hear eric and shelly are going to magic mountain, i would have been even more jealouse than i am now. bc i had a 20 min roller coaster ride of my own on my bike. :)
When i get home i actually want to start doing family history. So you can start it and ill continue it. Here they don't really have records like we do about birth and death, so doing family history is really hard here. we take it for grantint .
Im glad i was in Chaing Mai for conference. they had the head phoes they use on sunday to translate the sacrament meeting in to english for the farangs. they had the english conference hooked up to those so we got to listen to it in english. it was good. Love. that was a big topic. But that what the gosple is love for god and love for others.
Ok timne is up Ilove you have a great week.

แม่ Thats mom in thai. That took me forever to find on the key board. but its worth it:) You mey not have kids at home that need you but you have one kid on the other side of the world that needs you:) always:) remember that. Sunday and saturday we get to watch conference from a dvd. I hope we get to watch it in english. bc i want to know what is being said. Although my english is getting better. ive realized that i am almost half way done with this adventure, i need to start talking more than i am now. and ive realized i do know thai i do i do. i just need to speak. yes its not all there but enough to make a conversation and to understand for the most part. my new companion is sister Lo. She acctually served in Korat right before me. i replaced her. so we know so many people and we are having fun. We got a nang kiaw, greenie, he is actually khon thai, a thai. then we got another farang. the 2 thais are companions and the 2 farangs are companions, which is awesome. but it means we all have to split from our comps to teach english. So im now teaching the basic class. well see how that goes tonight :) we went to the zoo today the 2 thais and us sisters. we wanted to play in the snow dome. but there were alot of students there that took up all the time. GRR!!! we really wanted the thais to expiriance snow. another time. Out weather is hot and cold every day. it switched between hours, no kidding. We are looking fo a new house. which is really hard here. we can't just google house in Chaing mia. we have to actually ride around looking for a house. we invite as we are doing that. but we need to move before november 1st. which doesn't give us alot of time. im happy to hear you are staying busy. keep up the high spirits. know i love you. I can't wait to talk to you on christmas. are you going to be in Washinton or Arizona?

I LOVE YOU
