Hello Everyone!
Thanks again for all the prayers as
we have reaped the blessings abundantly with the Baptism of Sister แตน (Dtaan) and little ขิงๆ (King King). We taught them and
they were so great. I felt so honored as King King wanted me to baptize her.
Her testimony was so cute! She basically got up there and giggled for a minute
long and squeaked out the word ดีใจ (or "glad") and sat down. Dtaan's was similar to
King King's and my other investigator Ruamsap from Sisaket as she said she
can't speak Thai very well (sometimes she just mostly speaks Lao to me in her
lessons - which REALLY gives Elder Christensen a spin!), but that she wanted to
be a new person. Seeing her not chew her gosh-awful blood-red sludge has really
given me a joy I can't describe.
We're still working with other
people and investigators as Elder Khanakham - one of the Mission councilers who
is one of my best friends who I worked with in my first area - and he blessed
us with a lot of success. I love you all and I'm excited for District
Conference in Roi-Et (stake conference for branches).
But our investigator, Raugh, is
struggling to keep the Sabbath day holy. So we're working on that.
Sister Ple (or pronounced Bun), the wife of a less-active we are working with,
is probably coming to church in Roi-Et (another neighboring province)
and were happy about that. The girl whom we found that had the Book of Mormon had a death
in her extended family so we haven't seen her. More coming later. Until then,
thank you soooooo much for the prayers and love as I have needed it! I love you
and miss you all!
Love,
Elder Gibbons
