"week 5
wow well this week was something else it was all a blur i am not really
sure i can pick about the days but alot has happened this week. We got to host
on wednesday which was pretty amazing for a couple of reasons! well hosting one
missionary should take about 15 minutes pretty quick and so i got lucky enough
to be part of a group who got to do internationals and as i was walking in i see
this big dude just chilling in the corner and i lean over watch me get this guy
and of course five minutes go by and i get stuck with the guy in the corner.
turns out his last name is Kulu and he is from tonga! of course i immediately
asked if he knew a elder crosby and and and ..... he said no. but he did say
the lord only sends true heroes to Tonga because of the people and language and
of course while i am talking to him i am just loving his tongon accent and i got
to hangout with him for about an hour doing some simple things like helping him
mail his packages and finding his room but i see him around occasionally and he
always smiling he loves it here and hes excited hes going to the Mississippi
Jackson mission! so after i am done with Kulu i got back and pick up another kid
guess where this guy is going Mississippi Jackson mission as well! he is also
friends with someone in my district so i tract Elder Paxton and let him take
over. so i got back for a third time and i am waiting this girl walks by and she
is also going the mississippi jackson misssion and i tell her about Kulu and
Price the other missionary and she was so pumped! so as i am waiting there this
family pulls up and the family gets out of the car and the oldest brother gets
out and he is going to argentina and we are like sweet and i guess his little
brother comes in in two weeks and he is going to be one of our new thais that
come in i was pretty pumped!
so another thing is that the language is coming along great i am trying to
memorize the thai script and man its something else:) i am loving it though i
hope i can have it memorized by next week! and then i can work on reading and
writing it! another big thing that happened is our cantoes left this morning so
the includes sister brown and so far i am now the only sj missionary left in the
mtc which kinda sucks not to lie. also yesterday i got called to be zone leader
with my Khuu (companion) so we are going to have our hands full with this
positon for a while:) so busy weeks ahead!!
Phom rag khun!!"
