MOM DAD! MERRY CHIRSTMAS. :) ok Merry Monday!!!!!!!! Sounds like things are crazy and fun. Hay am i getting an inventaion to the wedding? i hope so. i want one. :)


Our house hunt is over. We found a great place just a few streets away from the elders and 5 min from the church. we are going over on wed to sign the lease and next mon. we are moving in. Ita an apartment. one that you would find in the states. :) YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the best part about the apartment is that there is a dryer :) YAY!!!!!!!!!!! lets just say im excited to move in. My 2nd time moving houses but not areas :( i dont like packing. so amanda and nick are all in. Good thing you do have a big house. im glad they moved in a was worried about you mom. you semmed sad all by your self at home. now you have a full hose again. :) will it ever be empty?


SO the wedding is in full swing? didfferent colored shoe...? it sounds like fun. im still sad to be missing it... but i will get over it... maybe. Well i cant be sad, there is a chance i get married when keith is on his mission. so i better count my blessings that i already know shelly and lover her. and im not coming home to a complete stranger.


Ok im a sick... there is a farang sitting on the ither end of the internet store and he SMELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shower and deoderant would do wonders for him. i dont feel good. B.O. gross


ok now that is ooff my chest...


The work is coming along. WE have a few miracles. we found our selves on Sat. with the whole day to invite. YAY!!!!!!!!!! so we went exploring. off the main road dead end...? nope. there is a little door that you can pass through. and that is what we did. leading into a nice neighborhood. Meet a lady. we had a nice chat with her. Number and a name. YAY!!!! well call her tomorrow. Continueing on with some right and left turns here and there. Looking for a way to get out on the neighbor hood when we came upon a family who just finished tham Boon which is the thai way of dedicating a nwe house. Except it a huge party too. they finished about 20 min before we came. they invited us in gave us icecream coke and watermelon. and had a good chat with them. I love being to the point where i can speak thai. and understand. i dont get everything but i get enough to have a conversation. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As i was entertaining the other guess Sis. jacobson was haveing a great lesson about life and the church with a couple. They are interested( unfortuatly they live in another area :( ) they wanted a BOok of MOrmon. i had one in my basket ut took it out the night before bc it was going to rain. And i never put it backk. :( they wanted one they asked to have sis. Jacobson's book. We told htem we can get them their own. we spent a good hour with them. it was fun. Talking and teaching. I learned a little about Bhuddism. they have 5 commandments. They are jsut like ours. except the 5th one. it forbids drinking beer... which is funny bc all the men here drink beer... so they do 4/5. :)



Thank you for your help with missionary work. i bet the missionaries just love you. i know i would if i served in Gilbert.



Next transfers are on teh 18th of next month. i believe Sis. Jaconson or i will be moving. we have to be split to be the senior comp. Im glad i got the chance to serve with a sister that is equal to me. Ive been the senior this moves bc sis .j doesnt really know the area. but this oppertunity let me know that i can be senior. I can speak thai and i can teach in thai. Gueaa what. I CAN SPEAK THAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its fun. its still crazy to think about though. and im tryig to think of ways to keep it up when i get home. im thinking to go to school fo rthai. maybe minor in it. I jsut mneed to find a program in AZ. Cause im sure you wont want me to leave once i get back.. Plus i dont what to leave once i get back.


Thank you for the prayers. i pray for you too. WIth work and life.


All Thai Men smoke and drink. Plus other things. But yeah it is a big thing over here. Beer alcohol and cigarettes are sold EVERYWHERE! its bad. That guy doesnt need to be emarassed. no one is judging him. just give him support. adn he will find the right way again.


Oh you want to here a presant Heavenly Farther gave to us. So we have been wanting icecream. andi was a HOT HOT day. As we were riding around. but we didnt find of the guys pushing the carts around ( that is the best icecream. they put it on a hot dog bum, with sticky rice and condenced milk.) YUM. we went to send a letter to the office. As we were there we got a call from an LA. Made an appt in 20 min. it takes that long to get out there. on the way to the house we past 4 ice cream crts :( we didnt stop bc we needed to get tot he appt. :( we were sad. that was fri. well sat., cam and we met that family. and what did they give us... ice cream !!!!

well another moves has come and gone. wow!!! # 8. a year ago i entered into the MTC with 3 other sisters and 2 elders. Now a year later we are all sill here and sister Jacobson is now my new companion in bangna. crazy!!!!!!!We where in he MTC together. We are boh co-senior companions. and we think i will be leaving he next moves, but this moves is 7 weeks. to make up the one we lost before Christmas. Carzy!!!! we are having so much fun together. we can boh speak thai!!!!!!!!!! and are having so many adventures in this crazy city. ok so i have to tell you some of our adventures. so im afaid totalk o he taxi drivers. so we are riding our bike more. just around own. if we need o go farther it is a bus or taxi. well we wanted to go geth food for sis. jacob, i have never riden my bike to the store but the otherday we were going to try i. following the traffic we were lead through this market, under a big overpass bridge, around anoher market and finally to our desination. carzy. then back through to go home. how knew that was there? the whole time i was smiling and laughing bc i just was carzy this is how yougo around all the traffic of a big road. ok that was our 1st adventure. #2 is even funnier. we tried our luck wih buses. we were goin out to see an investigator and it is a 30 min bus ride. you need to get on to bus 1141. we found that bus and go on. all was well... hen i looked around and notices that we were the only 2 people left on the bus. even the girl who collects the money got off... weird... then the driver pulled over and parked... thats not good. he noticed us and asked where we were going. it turns out that bus 1141 and 2 routs and this was the wrong bus. he was kind enough to help us ono the right bus. im happy to say we made it to our destination safely :) the investigator is no pragressing at all. so that was our last trip ou there. which is a shame bc we now know how o get home. we learned that one by trial and error too :) we needed to get to this intersection, i couldnt remember the name , but reading the bus routs we entered a bus i thought was right. all was well untill the bus turned left instead f going straight... oops... thats not good. we go on to the freeway going the opposite way we wanted to go. stuck on a buss going the wrong way , now not quite sure where we are headed, stuck in raffic. we cant get off. :) all we can do is laugh. and that is what we did. :) at our st opportunity we jumpped off. good thing for taxis, if i had to get on another bus, i dont think we would have gotten home. the taxi took us straight back to the church :) that taxi driver was funny. we talked teh entire way home. and what i didnt understand sis. jacb understood. oh the funs of thailand. :) and im sure that was not the last time we will be lost. :)

ok so our mouse hunt is still continueing. we came home to another mouse running across the floor. :) bought some new traps. the 1st night cuaght that sucker. then just left the other trap out. i was hoping not to catch anymore, but my hopes were in vain... our mouse count is now up to 7. seven... grosss.

DAD MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good morning:) Hey i want a novel each week i love nowing what is going on with the family. u get 1 hour to think about you durin the week and i want to know ehats up.

I think we got all the mice out of our house. the total count was 6. gross.

Please let steve and teresa and the family know they are in my prayers they have been since you told me about the tumor. Its good they caught it early. Well a good thing about the kemo he doesnt have much hair left to loose. :) Sorrry i couldnt help it. :)

All the sisters get theiir decdorant from america bc tahi deodorant is not the same. it doesnt work well.

The thai new year is april 12-15 . song khrong... the big water festival. :)

Mom i love the hair ribbons and the flowers. and so does everyone else. Good idea.

I want you to find something on the internet. its a talk from a mission president about getting the most out of your mission, but i think it can aply to every one. it is called 'the 4th missionary' by Lawrence E. Corbrodge. it is great. sis. brad gave it to me. it has changed everything. i hope you can find it. it talks about becoming a dicipel of Christ. if not ill send home a copy. after you read it reread the General Conference talks. it all fits. the General Authorities know what is going on. And everything we need is in the words of the prophets, old and Modern. that i know is true. Have the whole family read it.

Did you get the pics yet?

This week has been great. We did switchoffs on friday. I was super excited to find out that i sis. brad and i will be together again. :) she was my 2nd comp in Korat. Bu tt hen i got a call from the ZLs saying they told us wrong. I was going to her area. :) YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! out of Bangna. And instead of switching back on friday night we would switch on sat morning. bc i was going to switch off with sis. josephson, bc all the thais are going to review the new translation of the BOM D$C and p of GP. WOW~ what great news. My switch off with sis brad was SO much fun. IT felt as if we never separated. we both just could speak better thai. although it was weird to get to speak all in english to my comp all day. We rode our bikes. They live more on the outside of bkk. One point we had ot cross a bussy street and bc there was no reall place to cross. it wa pick up our bike on our shoulders and cross the foot bridge. Well that is a 1st. We met this crazy old lady. who has been a member for about 20 years. she is great. we also tested how well i can ride a bike. we rode the clong. which is a river and there is a elevated path about 1 meter wide. it went up and down, left right. over under. once when we went under we had to duck all they way to the handel bars or your head was going to hit the underside of a brigde. i was fun. since i wasnt riding my own bike i didnt trust my self with some of the downs and ups. sisters have fallen in before. al and all it was a GREAT day. and their house is SO nice. no mice no bugs. what a life :) we needed to met the other 2 sisters to switch sis brad and her comp back and me and the other sister will go on to get our comps. what i thought was going to be a fun day with sis josephson turned out to be a great day of reading the D&C. They asked me adn sis joesphsom to stay and help tham read. I read D&C 35-43. Good thing i have been reading with sis. surarak these past 4 weeks. I know if i wasnt i would not have nbeen able to read as much as i did. from 9:00 to 1:00 i switched reading out loud and checking for mistaks. which we did find. By the end my voice was low and tired. adn my reading skill dropped dramaticly bc my eyes were tired. good thin gi had a hai comp to finish reading. but was great. i cant wait to get the new triple and look to se what i helped fix. :) the new triple will be out abou the time a come home :(

Hey we ahve another sis meyers here in thailand. She says her dad is a convert too. she has family in Oregon, but i dont think in washington. i woulder were our relation is. ill get her dads name the next thime i see her. and ill give it to you.

I would love to have a temple in thailand. And that is what weare working on. we are doing all we can. But it is all up to the Lord. when the people in thailand are ready for a temple the Lord will bless them with one, intill then we just have to continue on. and rely on the Lord.

So today for our thaiw. We ahve a elder here whos dad is the CEo of Nuskin. they have a branch in thailand.. so they rented a 2 vans and took us to see the old palace in ayuttia and the Gread Palace where the king lives. wow. what a day. so much fun. they paid for everything. i was great. they were dso nice. about 20 people were there all together. great times. i am greatful to for their generocity.

On Mon, Jan 4,
MOM DAD!!! DAD MOM!!!! Happy New year!!! Sounds like fun.
i want to play hand and foot. Who all played? WOW 3400 points thats big. Way to go Keith. Is Keith not a big holder of the baby? Is he getting ready to start his mission papers? ir when is hw going to start? i guess no one waits for me. :) so is he going to leave before or after i get home? has he been thinking about this? Has he been playing the piano?

Nw Years... The city was quiet. Everyone left. Only a few people remained. Wich meant we were out on the streets talking to those who were left. hat night we n\met the Elders for dinner. A Big Mac and fries fron McDonalds :) HAPPY NEW YEARS that was my first meal at McD's in the country. Then we went for ice cream b once we got there we realized we werent in h emood for icecream. :) so to finish otu 2009 we passes out english fliers. We have done that SO much the past 2 weeks. im expecting a lot of people to show up on wed. Which is good because that is were most of our investigators come from. so teh more that come the more people we will have to each.

You know you can speak thai weel when your companion gets up at 5:30 and you can ask them "why did you wake up so early?" in thai and you are still 1/2 asleep. :) thai is coming along wonderful. I can speak thai. It still gets me everydya. I can understand when people are talking as they past by. I get their conversations. Ihave even heard them talking about me :) Little do they know i know what they said. hahahaha!

Oh i have a thought about the wedding and having my picture. a Elder told me that someone he knoew i dont remember if it was is brother or a friend. But their sister got married when they were on the mission and they had a life sie cut out of the person to be int the pictures and to stand in the line at the recepion. :) What do ou think ? I like it:) do i need to send you a picture of me standing? ask eric and Shely and let me know.

the weather around here is normal... HOT... Although it did rain the other day. in the morning. but onl for about 1/2 hour then it stopped and became hot again. :/ Today we went to a park that as each era of thialand shown. a don sized model of all the big popular wads around thailand. We rode bikes. not like our mountain bikes but it was a criser. sabaay sabaay. Man was it hot!!! i melted the whole time. But it wass fun. Beautiful too. Now we dont have to go to the real things. weve been there already :) 6 of us sisters went. i love being with the sisters. On Wed we have a Zone conference. so we will see them again. :)

We even metsome members who came for thiaw. They are form utah.
I had my 1st shower the other day were the water stayed warm the entire time, and i stayed on with good water pressure the as well. : ) oh so something new to add to this house. i was at my dest readong th eLiahona sis. surarak was talking to her family. when out of the corner of my eye i saw a mouse scampper into the center of the room. i screamed! sis. surarak's father asked : what was wrong. so now we have a mouse inteh house. But that solves the mystery of what has been running around in our ceiling. i love this house:) so much i want to move. Then in the kitchen we have a tuk kea. which is a llizard about the size or a bearded dragon. pretty thing: vibrent blue against black. but odnt let that thing bite you. it wont let go. The elders have one too. And last night as E. mitchell was cooking his french toast. theirs fell into the pan, biounced off the bread and ran in their dishes. it is now dead intheir freezer bc e. web wants to fry it up and eat it. There have been some elders d that and he wants to try. Gross!

Weve got a sweet investigator. She is 16, she came to church yesterday. ANd she went into the W class instead of the investigators. After church she came up to us and said she knows who she is. Who are you? i am a child of God and not of man. Yes you are. she wasreally cute. Then proceeding to teach the Plan of Happiness she knew most of iit already. Who ever was her teacher that day did an amazing job at teaching that day. there was only a few things we had to teach or straighten out fron Pre-earth ato adam and eve. She is great. Her date is feb 7th.

how was Christmas without Nick and amanda and them?

HOw is the yard looking? Is it done? have you started on another project or taking some time to rest. do we have a gate?

Im still learnign how to cook. THis week i am learnign how to make curry :) last night i made green curry, and i think that was the best meal i have made so far. dont worry im writing things down. there is not an exact recipie so once i get home im going to have to experiment some.
