So I know that the only thing you all care about is photos, and I'm sorry because yes I have a lot of photos to share, BUT I am at a new internet place that apparently will give my photo card a virus... so I had better not risk it!
This week started with a miracle! Last Monday
night we had an appointment with a potential investigator who had called us. He
had gotten an inviting card a few weeks prior. He said that he wasn't
interested at first and was going to throw away the card. BUT HE DIDN'T. He
said that he looked at the picture of Christ a few days later and he felt hope.
He felt like he's not the only person who knows what he's going through, he
said that HE LOOKS AT THE PICTURE OF CHRIST AND IS ABLE TO SMILE. That made it
worth it to me, all of the time spent talking to every person I can and getting
rejected, for someone to just be able to smile because I gave them a picture of
Christ is worth it. He then looked up at me and said "I think it was you,
Sister Peterson that gave me this card." That was a very needed experience
for me this week. I love Christ and the knowledge of hope and peace and
everything that is good that comes from HIM.
We got permission this week to go to the
festival where in the north they light off lanterns like in Tangled.
Unfortunately, I am in Bangkok and there are fire restrictions, but what they
do is they send off beautiful flower boats into the river with a candle on it.
This culture is so beautiful. There were flowers and lights everywhere. We also
got to watch a Thai fashion pageant thing too! It really is a shame that I
can't send photos... stay tuned for next week!
A new 7/11 opened by the church! Yay! another
7/11! It's so convenient!
Today for P-day we went to a Baptism! (an
Investigator of my companions from her last area) This Lady is 81 and the water
pump at the church was broken, so the bishop said, ok let’s go to the pool next
door! So we walked down the street to the local public pool, and She got
baptized there! (Yes we got permission.... I think) She was so cute!
Thai children are the cutest.
I will send pictures next week!
Love Sister Peterson
