I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane...

สวัสดีครับ Sawatdee kap!

Hey hey everybody! I have a riddle for you: what has two thumbs, a very limited Thai vocabulary, and is coming back home from Thailand? Wow, you're good at riddles. It's me! I head back in just a couple hours, so look out Utah.

LAY DOWN ANOTHER TRACK
We made another music video!! We spent one of our last days up on top of our building. We made a music video of I am a Child of God on top of our building. We filmed it at sunset. It was way cool and totally worth getting locked up there for a second haha. Hopefully we'll have it all edited up soon.

I'm really grateful to have had this chance to serve in Thailand. These people are so amazing and their happiness is contagious. I never baptized anyone, but I'm just glad to have been planting seeds. Hopefully what I've done so far will help people continue to come to their Heavenly Father. And I'm just so happy to have been given this opportunity. I've come to be more familiar with my Savior. I've felt of his love and I know what I've been doing out here is the Lord's work. I know we are God's children and there is a plan in place for every one of us. I know that Jesus Christ loves you. Individually. He knows us and all that we have to do is get to know him.

Alma 32:28
Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

And I know that as we plant the seed, nourish it, and do all we can to bring ourselves closer to the love and light of our Savior, Jesus Christ, our understanding will be enlightened and it'll be a delight! I know that Christ is waiting for us, with his hand outstretched for each of us. All we have to do is grab on. I know Jesus Christ is our Redeemer and he knows you. I have felt his love. I know he is there. And I know that you can know that too.

I love you all so much. I'm so grateful for everything that has happened these last few months. Remember that God is always leading and directing our lives, no matter what is happening! I know He is always there.
