I'm a Maa!!!

I can't believe she's here! My little greenie from SLC, UT. Sister King is such a great missionary already! Miracle? Our first day together, we came home and got right into planning and studying. She practiced the invitation to baptism with me a bunch of times, and then we got out to teach. Her first lesson in Thailand, she extended the baptismal commitment to Phii Neng, who accepted, and gave her a date for the 9th of October! SWEET. And so our journey begins.

This past week has been NUTS. We switched houses with the Elders (their's was better for 4 sisters, and in our area), it was transfer week, I got a greenie, we had to renew visas, and we played in that open house for the Chaengwatana building. I remember looking at the church news right after I got my call, and seeing President Smith and several other church leaders standing on the grounds where that building would be built, and thinking, "Am I really going there?" And last Saturday? I got to play the musical number for the VIP open house of the most beautiful building in Thailand (until we get a temple)!!! It was so powerful. It was a very fancy event, and I think it went ok...but I'm glad it's over. Amidst everything else, my cute greenie was trying to get used to all the Thai ways of living. I thought I felt Thai before? I can't even begin to express how ridiculous I've felt the past few days. Haha. It's so funny. Things I didn't even notice I did...or things about Thailand that are "normal" now. Haha. It's so fun.

I am learning how to be positive and optomistic, even when others may not be. It's really interesting. I think I've gotten good at making things okay with my attitude. Certainly, things are rocky and rough at times, but when you are confident that things will just work out, others seem to follow that same opinion. She seems to just think everything is just peachy, when sometimes things get a little frantic. My biggest goal is to help her see how EQUAL we are in the work. I don't care about the language. That has nothing to do with it. She's already brought so much to the table.

I've just learned the past 4 days that I don't have to be perfect. In Moroni 10:32-33, we learn that he only requires us to love Him with our whole hearts! If that's all i focus on, then I can do this training thing. No problem.

I love this work. I love hte gospel! We're pushing to the end together!!

Sister Nay
