Captain's Log:
17 days into the quarantine. The Corona Virus has yet to infiltrate our home base, though we've recieved words from neighboring fleets that the Ubon Sector is no longer entirely safe. The Corona has met Ubon, but the infected has been shipped to the Bangkok Sector, giving us temporary safety from the menacing virus. We have stayed inside of our home base throughout the past week as much as possible, only venturing out to refuel and gather supplies. Having recieved orders from HQ to limit our interactions with natives, we set our blasters to "stun" and journeyed to Thai Costco and limited our conversations with the native peoples to how their day was, if they have a family, if they love Jesus, if they would like to learn more, recieving their phone numbers, and giving them pamphlets. We barely made it out alive.
Whoa, that was weird.
THE APARTMENT
We finished our Office spinoff, The Apartment. It is amazing. We found out that we're gonna be in here for at least another week or so, so hold tight, everyone. On the bright side, more time in here gives us time to make more episodes! We only got two episodes in last week, and while they may have revolutionized the entire entertainment world, we ain't finished yet. If anyone would like to watch them, shoot me an email.
WHAT UP, FAM
We've been doing a lot of family history stuff these past two weeks, and it has been way fun! My companion and I found out that we are 4th cousins, and we traced our lineage all the way back to Adam and Eve. Crazy stuff. I also found out that the greatest invention that came out the year I was born was the greatest invention of all time, the Segway.
5 STARS
Since we've been stuck inside all day, we have the opportunity to make our own food! Some has been really good! And with others, I tried really hard haha.

SKYPE MISSIONARIES
The only way that we've been able to teach and meet with our investigators and members is through technology. We got to talk to Sister หน่อย, the awesome Esan grandma who lives in the jungle. She's doing so great! She's still praying and shes read the Restoration pamphlet we gave her over and over again!!! We also got to call some investigators over the phone and I shared a scripture about faith! It was the craziest thing, as I was looking on the page, my eyes just kept going from word to word and I was reading!! It was smooth and clear it was so cool! It's so great to have moments where I can actually be speaking with Thai people and feel the spirit through sharing the gospel with others. I missed it. So we have a goal to teach two people every day!! Which doesn't sound like much, but we have yet to be able to reach that, despite our best efforts haha.
LAST THINGS LAST

-Shoutout to my Cougs being 15th in the nation.
-thanks so much for reading this far, hopefully you haven't just skipped to the end. If you did read all the way through, I love you! If you haven't, I can forgive you, but I will never forget.
