Hello everyone this week was... a week.

We had so much work added upon us by members.. it's amazing how much the members help when they know you are sincere and they feel that you care. I am really starting to love the ward here. .. We started teaching a guy who has been married to an active member for over 14 years, never has met with missionaries. I was able to talk to him a bit and show him the sad families videos. (Sad videos are one of my favorite techniques... works every time.) He committed to read the book of mormon every day, and to pray. He's not running away after we were fairly bold in telling him the goal of our meetings... which is to help him to come unto christ through faith, repentance, baptism, gift of holy ghost.. and eventually going to the temple to be sealed.. and setting an eternal example for his posterity. Even for a manly carpenter, he was getting emotional ath the thought.. :) checkmate. haha... I love jesus..

We are still trying to get into the Burmese houses, I really think speaking their language even just a little bit would earn their respect and go a looooong way. So we're working on setting ground work for that idea. Minglaba is hello in Burmese... btw.. haha.. also- Thookhethakheawh means 'Authority' in Karen which is a far out burmese language. haha.. the work goes on.. We had a funny experience with them as we chatted with one of my Burmese friends Van, He's like our informant, tells us all the details and life trials of the families we know, he got all shy when I asked him if he thought Mary Niang was cute (she's a member)... so.. that's a future angle. Using the cuter Burmese girls to attract the priesthood?.... not a foreign idea. (but an idea for foreigners.) aha!

The ward had a halloween party yesterday, so naturally we dressed up, I wore a mustache, my comp was a bum. (A missionary bum).. we were combined with the Burien Ward, so i got to see all my old buddies again, turns out all the children remember who I am. And like to steal mustaches.. darn kids..haha...

We did have a great district meeting and got to know our district a lot better. Our district leader is a little bit of a wet blanket, but his companion is straight from Cambodia.. oh man, that kid is hilarious. We taught him some key phrases and words. like "JK LOL" or "pwned N00bs" ... he doesn't retain super well though.. he's forgotten the word poop, we told him he could buy it at mcdonalds.

Overall it was a good week.. went to a doctor... she had no idea, but she was nice! haha.. The Lord loves us and is working on us. We're really growing, making strides. I gotta chat with President toooomorrow.. pray for me! I love you all.. send me letters. .even if I don't write back super quick.
