Songkran, Water Festival & Easter


Yes, I got sun burnt. If you really notice it you will see that my skin is actually red in the picture. I got that on Songkran or the water festival. Songkran used to be Thai New Year. We throw and splash water to people that we see. I took missionaries to Soi Raewadii one of the busy streets to celebrate the event. It was so fun but I got a really bad burnt. Songkran last for three days but I only went out for a day because after that super fun day I got so burnt that I had to stay home for the rest of the days. The funny thing is when I was walking with the missionaries, the people would just throw the water on them but not me because they (the missionaries) were farangs.

My easter was good. We had a special sacrament service. I performed a musical number. I was very excited but it went really well. I guess another cool thing that happened is that my naighbor (spelling?) got baptized and she was a referral from me. I realize that each person has his/her own time. I have known this person for over thirteen years but she just got baptized. After I got off my mission I met her and I just invited her to the english class. She accepted my invitation and seven months later she got baptized. :) I am so very happy.

I hope that you all had a good easter and songkran. Don't forget to leave a comment. Thank you!

Please tell Elder Sadler that we will all write him lots next week. Fiddler on the Roof starts tonight. Elizabeth is going to be great and I have been the cast seamstress. Thanks for being such a great friend and support to all of the missionaries there.

Hey Art! What a fun site!
I'm missing Thailand so much! Canada is freezing cold. How's the branch doing?
I already played the piano for a musical number my 2nd sunday home. I also did 2 firesides besides my homecoming talk. But in a few weeks no one will be interested in my mission at all. Say hello to SYS for me and all the members!
