Nother Week of Missionary Wurk

Mom sent me a post card set from the Sacred Gifts
exhibit at BYU. Jesus and I are giving the peace sign:)

So last pday we were able to go to Udon. There we went ice skating, ate at a really expensive Korean buffett then went bowling. It was really fun, but Elder wheeler fell Ice skating and busted his chin open. So after that we went to the hospital where I got to watch them put 7 stitches into his face. The wound went so far in I think I saw his chin bone. haha, that kid is just getting beat up. Also in the week we went to this one members house and cleaned up her yard and driveway. It was stinking hot and I sweated so much, but that is the usual. I just hope my clothes can stay white enough to wear.... already my "white" shirts are getting tinted a slightly grey brown color from all the sweat and dirt that is here. One thing is for sure I won't be taking any of these clothes home with me... Guess that means i'll be coming home naked.

soooo also when we were having a district meeting this crazy lady walked into the church crying and wanted us to teach her. The whole time we were teaching her she would just bawl and stuff. She had like 8 different bibles with here and had read all of them and knew about the book of mormon very well... It was kinda weird. We were unsure if she was just very emotional or actually crazy. It will take some more time to deduce this one. also we did, MORE CONTACTING. every day! one day we spent two hours straight just roaming around a scooter parking lot contacting people. then later that night we went to a street market to contact more. The street market only happens once a week on saturdays. But it is really cool because there is alot of people there, and alot of cool little things you could buy. There was a guy there that made all of us missionaries rights out of coins. Mine isn't going to be ready till next week, but still, he did it for free. He said since we were elders we get them free. I don't know why but someone must have left a good impression on him! :)

so still just doing my thing here in nong khai. transfers are coming up in a little over two weeks. also, we get to watch general conference next week! yay! its like the release of a new movie!..

not really

anyways, have a good week family!

love, Elder Smith
