Elder Ethan Ellsworth - Bangkok, Thailand

Hello everybody!! This week was way good. I love this ward and this place. Straight fire. Monday was a pretty ok day. We went to the local crocodile zoo/farm which was like my 3rd or 4th time going, so that was ok, but feeding crocs is always fun right?? Tuesday, we had studies, district meeting, and then because of an activity at the church, we did not have English class. So we taught nice lady whom we also dropped, met a crazy guy at the mall, ran out of time to video an English lesson, and then dinner with a member and a great teaching appt with a dater of ours. Wednesday, i had a switchoff with Elder hatch, one of the zone leaders. Hes a cool dude. It was a fun day. We tried to meet an investigator at work, but it was her day off, :/ and then we helped a member and her investigator friend sell rice ans food. Fun times. Then taught another sweet ol lady, dinner at IHOP, a lesson with จอย a humble man who sells Buddha statues, who is now a dater,  and then ...

This week was fire. Yay. I like fire. To start off, Monday we had to say goodbye to Elder Sukyong. He is a great elder, and a magnificent teacher, and he really helped us out in Bangnaa, but it was time for him to go home. So its back to me and my son this week, เหมือนเดิม anyways, for pday we went to นครนายก a cool province, and had some fun times sightseeing. Pretty cool stuff. Tuesday, we had zone conference which was really fun. We were really inspired to make some good goals, work with members better, and really work hard to get the Thailand temple here!!!!!! So good. Then we had interviews, and I love President Hammond. His enthusiasm is really contagious. Then we had dinner, and English class. เย้ fun times. Wednesday, we went back to work after what felt like too many days of play with general conference, and pday and zone conference. It was also this day that we really came to the knowledge that we are once again just a duo, not a trio. Whole new dynam...

Hello everybody!! I apologize for not writing last week, being in a trio can be exhasuting, and since last week was our last week as a trio, I may have taken too much of a break on pday hahaha, by not writing.... sorry about that, so here is a highlight email from the week I did not write, current week to come. Monday was pretty fun. In the morning, we played soccer with the elders in the district, and it was pretty fun. We played half court (half field) turning it into a basketball movement kind of soccer. It was really fun. Then we went to a cool natural island in the middle of Bangkok, and biked around a park, and did some site seeing. Closing out the night at the bishops house, and because of a colossal rainstorm, got home a little late. Like by an hour. oops... Tuesday, we had a normal district meeting Tuesday, studies in the morning, and then district meeting, and after that, a couple of appointments, one of the investies we actually had to drop... :( sad da...

Hello everyone! Get ready for a short one, because I'm down to crunch time on my weekly once again. Monday was way fun! It was Elder Sukyong's birthday and also, we went and did paintball. It was super fun! Then we got back, had a great appt with an RC family, and then met with our WML who is SUCH a homie! Tuesday, studies, district meeting, proselyting, English class, preparing for switchoffs. Not much to report. Wednesday, I got to switch off with Elder Petterson. He is so cool, and in my MTC group. I've thought being companions with him would be cool, and now I got my wish! For one day. เย่ we spent a good day working, teaching an investigator who told us if she is converted she would marry me, and another Burmese dude that we don't understand the lesson because we just Skype the Burmese elders and they talk to him. It's fun though. Thursday, we had a lot of cancelled appts in the morning, studies and weekly planning and then a coup...

Hello everybody! Monday was really fun! We spent the whole day playing some soccer and relaxing in the apartment. I was exhausted so it was s good day to take a break for a bit. That night we met with a crazy semi LAish last who's husband is crazy and MIA. So that was interesting. Tuesday, we had s normal Tuesday. Studies in the morning, district meeting, and worked in the afternoon. I'm back at training district meetings again. This week we talked about being consecrated missionaries and how the power really comes in our work when we give the Lord EVERYTHING we have to give. It's way good. After that, we had a couple cancelled appts that just got moved to Wednesday. So that was good. Then we had s fun English class where we talked about food! Hooray. Wednesday, just a full day of work. Way fun. Did all our studies in the morning, had lunch with an investigator where I scared a poor lady who thought I couldn't speak Thai, but I mean she kind of des...
