Elder Montague's Mission

September 16th, 2018 15th month,  4th week Thailand, Bangkok, Minburi Ward samuel.montague @myldsmail.net (I would love to hear from you) This week features colors because I am on a computer. It is also longer because I need to make up for a few terrible weeks. I'm pretty sure my time here in the office is coming to a close. I'm actually a little sad about it now; we really started pumping up the work and we've been able to meet with less actives that have been referred to us.They are showing marked improvement already- all of the LA's except one that we've started working with went to church yesterday! That is way awesome. And they're all very well connected with each other and with an active group of members. บ. ต้นกล้า (Bro. Tonkla) :  I don't know how much I said about him, but he is the principal staff member for this beautiful bread place that missionaries have frequented for probably as long as it's been there. It is conveniently on...

September 9th, 2018 15th month,  3rd week Thailand, Bangkok, Minburi Ward samuel.montague @myldsmail.net (I would love to hear from you) Which is why I have almost nothing to add.   Thursday was missionary Leadership Council, and my companion and I are not really relevant to that because I'm not a mission leader, even though I kind of am, but I'm not really. But we do provide lunch for that so we organized it. Which qualifies us to eat breakfast and lunch! This time we set up a lasagna lunch with garlic bread - I've definitely eaten too much this week.  We've also been able to start really working in our area. After mlc on Thursday, we spent the rest of the day in the office. Which is a little bit sad, but it turns out great? We ended up finishing almost everything else we have to do for the office. We hav e two trainings we're supporting on the east side of the mission this week.  And we have transfer week logistics, and that is it. So we've ...

September 4th, 2018 15th month, 2nd week Thailand, Bangkok, Minburi Ward samuel.montague @myldsmail.net (I would love to hear from you) I drove the car more this week! Is it still scary? Yes. It is "death". We also had the fun responsibility of going and getting the cars registered. But that was blessed by the Lord, because we went with one of the senior missionaries that oversees the mission finances, and while we were trying to park he went inside and some random staff lady worker had mercy on him.  She just took him around and did literally everything for both of the Mission vans with him. We literally walked in and called him and he was like I'll go get you some lunch. So we did.  This week my companion and I switched with other companions 7 times this week.  One of the switches we did was with the assistance to the president because they had different responsibilities they had to cover.  So it made it hard for my companion and me to get much time in o...
