Welcome to Buaung!!

Well fam it was great to talk to you and i was so excited haha sorry if i was a little abnoxious haha. well this was a good week and definitely an eye opener for me! man i feel the weight of my calling in training a new missionary and it's going to be a good ride! my comp is way good and i can tell he knows why he's out here! that's the good thing! he's a little shy and quiet but i can't blame him it's only his first week. it will be good. this week was a good one and the lord truly opened the windows of heaven and blessed us tremedously! it was amazing! yesterday at church our investigator came again! and it's great! his schedule is hard to find a good time but we stopped by real quick this week just to invite him to church and he came! man it's amazing! and we had a good number of our less actives show up which put a smile on my face! oh yeah i spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday, i actually like speaking in sacrament and it was a cool experience. i talked on "rescuing the one" and home and visiting teaching. haha i used the story of when my friend jake lockie got lost in jackson snowboarding and how ski patrol and the helicopter was there to help and how our job as members is to rescue and save the less actives just like the ski patrol. it was fun to relate a story into skiing and snow! and it fit perfectly and hopefully had a impact on the people. the spirit really took over and helped me speak! So this next week i really plan on turning up the heat and going to work and show my new companion how we do it here for the lord! this last week we worked hard still but it was alot of meeting to the members and stuff so this week it's going to be a good one! he's kind of quiet and still kind of in shock a little so that's the hardest part is just helping him enjoy. that's really what are mission president wants us to focus on is having the new missionaries enjoy. well for me the best part of the mission is the work so that's what we are going to do is work haha. have fun and get the work done! this work is amazing fam and hope you guys look for opportunities to share the gospel as well! thanks for all your support and everything! i love you so much and look forward to hearing about memorial day weekend!
