Family and friends,
This week was pretty crazy and really faith testing. I asked to have trials at the beginning of this transfer so I could finish off my mission strong. Since then, I have had more problems than ever before. But as Anna said, everything happens for a reason. I didn't understand President Senior's allowing us to go to Ubon, which gained me an angry phone call from President. I felt horrible, and on top of that, my companion is struggling with the work. A LOT. I've been at the end of my rope kind of this whole week, but I had a great experience. Thank you so much for the faith - it's something that is being tested more than ever before on my mission - and perhaps my life.
I'm sorry this letter kind of stinks, but I chose to read my family's emails first and they're closing up the internet cafe soon. Anyway, one day we had problems, I decided to go to work instead of go home. We met a mute / deaf person who showed us to her house - there I met a former investigator from Kalasin who was having some real struggles in her life and didn't know where to turn to. We helped her and she and our deaf investigator both came to church. A real miracle.
I hope Sister
Jit and Arti will be baptized. I hope that these things, and other things that
I can't yet foresee, will be taken care of my Father in Heaven. I love you and
I can't wait to see you.
Love,
Elder Gibbons
