Sawadii kha!
Is everyone ready for Christmas over there? Do we even have a Christmas tree yet...
Roi Et is pretty great. It doesn't really feel like Christmas but the members are still ridiculously excited about the activity they're planning so it should be fun. So I thought we would ride our bikes more out here but we actually don't. We still use them but 2 of the members are samlaw drivers. This is a different vehicle Dad, I think we should get one :) It's like a songtow (the truck with seats in the back) but it's all on the back of a motorcycle instead. They're pretty fun.
Yesterday we were outside at the church just talking with some members and this giant centipede came crawling up out of one of the drains in the parking lot. So gross!!! I got some pictures I'll send to you and it was definitely nasty but I was brave and tried to get some good pictures.
On the 17th it was Sister Maxwell's birthday so we celebrated by making a pineapple-upside-down cake at the church. It was way yummy and one of the cute members who helps us all the time came in and so we wanted to share it. It was pretty funny. She took a bite and said that it was really sweet. We started laughing way hard. You could tell she didn't really like it so we told her she didn't have to eat it but she just said "no, it's way good!" She was like shoveling it in her mouth and wouldn't let us take it away. She totally hated it haha. Our deserts are way sweet to khon thais. Another interesting thing they don't like is cinnamon. You can't find anything cinnamon here so when we get it we love giving it to them because it is way to spicy for them. It's way funny.
So we have some pretty great investigators at the moment. We're working with 5 people who have dates and a bunch of others who are really close. One of these daters is Ma By. She is about 72 and probably the cutest little old lady ever! Our only challenge with her is that she is deaf and she can't read. No worries though. For some reason she understands. It's kind of incredible because there is a member in the ward that grew up with someone that was deaf so she can communicate pretty well with Ma and is able to tell us what she is saying. Apparently she has had dreams and answers to prayers about the different things we teach and she is just such a sport. She comes to church every week even though she can't hear anything. Pretty amazing!
Anyway, I'll have to share more next week, I took too much time figuring out skype and emailing you about it. But I will be seeing you next week and I am so excited!
Merry Christmas! The Gospel is true! Love you!
