Hey family!
Sister Naegle and i are lucky enough to still be here in Chaing Mai. Were loving it. I love this area, and i love my companion. Im supposed to be training her, but i have learned so much from her as well. Im on my last transfer now, i cant believe it. Time is flying. Im not sure what to write in this email because i feel like i just barely wrote you. sorry you didnt get my email last week, ill try to send it again.
Most of our investigators are doing awesome! tum and khaawfaang will hopefully be interviewed for baptism next week, and maybe a few others, were not sure yet. A few of our investigators are getting scared and some are waivering. we also got some good families last week! we found them both after appointments cancelled. we made a rule for ourselves that when an appt cancels, we have to invite the closest person nearby. we have found some good sucess! sometimes Heavenly Father sends us somewhere for other purposes than we think. both families are very similar, they are both from the hill tribe karian and they are both protestant! we have been teaching quite a few christians lately, its hard the first few lessons, i never know what to say with them, im so used to teaching those that know nothing about Christ, God, or prayer. The families are awesome though and hopefully they can progress and be eternal families some day.We have felt the Hand of the Lord in everything lately. I know that none of this sucess is because of me or because of my companion. Heavenly Father is preparing everything before us, all we have to do is to work hard and do our best and reap in the harvest.

Im sorry, ive been horrible at writing lately, everything just blends together and im not sure what to write about. I want you to know that i know this is the Lords work. 100%. I know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ and i am grateful that i get to be one small instrument in this enormous work. I hope that i can be an instrument in His hands for the rest of my life. I am so deeply grateful to Joseph Smith, for all that he sacrificed to bring forth the Book of Mormon. I love that book. So much. I am excited that i have the opportunity to study it every single day for the rest of my life. It holds the power of God between its pages and all you have to do is open it and read with and open heart and that power will come flowing into you. I am also grateful for the temple. oh how i miss it! seeing members dream of being able to get to go someday, and also not being able to go for over a year has made me appreciate it that much more. before my mission i really took it for granted. i cant wait to go back and enter the house of the Lord often, serving others and also getting filled with knowledge and peace. I am grateful that i have such an incredible family, the best ever, and because of the temple and your good decisions we get to live together forever!!! I love missionary work. I love this gospel. I love Thailand. I love these people. I love the Lord. I love you! I am the luckiest person in the world, i get to serve here and also have such an awesome family at home. please stay safe, ill see you soon!
love,
sister young
