Elder Ethan Ellsworth - Bangkok, Thailand

Hello everybody! Here I am, at the end of another week! It's crazy the way time works... Weeks feel like hours and days like years. Monday, we had a pretty fun pday. Not too exhausting and not to stressful either. We emailed in the morning, and then headed are over to เดอะมอลล์บางแค , (the mall in Bangkhae) where we met up with the other elders in the district randomly, and spent some time wandering around and grabbed some great food to eat. You'd think that since pizza isn't native to Thailand, that it wouldn't be all that good, but let me tell ya, it's great stuff. After that, we grabbed some ice cream, and then headed over to the bowling alley a little ways down the road. It was a way fun time. I didn't bowl too well, my first game was a 96, and the next a 54, but I mean that's ok right?? Haha we had a good time. After that, we finished out the day with some inviting and I found a guy smoking outside his house and I stood there and talked to him...

Hello everybody!!!!! This week was pretty good. สบาย สบาย you could say in Thailand. Monday , we went to a trampoline park in อโศก. It was pretty fun, and I enjoyed it, although I'm not going to lie I really like Get Air back home alot more. That one is more fun for sure. Plus, Amped in Thailand Is way flipping expensive to go to. So lots of fun, to go for one time, and I'd be ok if I never went again to be perfectly honest. Besides that, we spent the rest of the day traveling and emailing. Good times. I also bought some flash cards because I really need to work on my language skills. I think I may have taken for granted having a companion that is fluent in Thai for the past couple of transfers... haha that's ok though because I'm looking forward to some awesome progression in my language this transfer and I can honestly say I've already seen alot, so I am way pumped to see where I can end up by the end! Tuesday , we had another สบาย day. Nothing too c...

Hello everybody!!!! Monday, we had a pretty fun day. I've noticed that as a missionary, nothing ever, and I mean never ever goes as planned. It's always a fun thing to see, especially when you do daily planning like literally 3 or 4 hours earlier. Anyways, since transfers was this week, Monday was not pday, but a normal work day. We did personal study and then headed over to ม . เกษตร . There, we met with a fire LA. And you might think thst if she's LA, then she's not really fire right?? Well she's way cool anyway. Her name is นิกกี้ and has some awesome goals for the new year. Including becoming more active this year!! She still reads and prays pretty normally, but too busy to go to church. She's way nice, and she intends to bring a couple of her friends back to church with her. It was way cool to talk with her. After that we had studies and then went to find some PIs. FBI inviting is way fun!! So the one guy we tried to find wasn't at home. But we t...

Hello everyone! This week we have big news! Monday, we had a pretty normal pday. Nothing too exciting. Emailing in the morning, and then we headed over to the office to talk to President Johnson. He is so awesome, and seriously will be the next apostle, I know it. He is incredible. After the office, Elder Allen and I headed over to บางบัวทอง to meet an old RC of Elder Allen. He's a way nice guy, and we had a way good visit with him and his family that included some delicious food. If you ever have a chance to come to Thailand, you must have หมูกะทะ at least once. It's way good stuff. After that we visited a family with the other elders and had some dinner with them. It was way fun, we played pictionary together, and then shared a spiritual thought about Joseph Smith. Elder Allen did a way good job of putting it all together, but I don't exactly remember how he did it haha.... Tuesday, we had a pretty normal Tuesday. I swear our Tuesdays this transfer have be...

Hello everybody! This week was pretty good, as are all in the great country of Thailand!! And as a missionary! Monday, of course was Christmas! You may have thought Christmas was pretty great before, but trust me, being a missionary on Christmas is the absolute best!!! We got up early to go and play basketball which was waaaay fun. After that we opened presents and all that good stuff and then headed over to presidents house for a party! It was way fun stuff. I got to see Elder Bunker and a couple other elders from my mtc group. It was fun stuff. Plus there was plenty of food, lots of sloppy Joes and Christmas cookies. After that we picked up our suits and then headed home. Tuesday, was pretty normal, not too much happened actually. Got to Skype the good ol fam, and they are doing just fine, and so that is way good. After that, studies, and a fire district meeting. I love our district. It's way good and we have some awesome missionaries here. Then Elder Allen and I we...

Hello everybody!!! This week was a blast and a blur. But good on all accounts! I just wish I could be a missionary forever haha, it's the best!! So Monday, we went and tried on suits so that the next week (today) we could pick them up. I'll just say it right now, it looks same feels way good but I'm getting the pa he adjusted and so I only have the suit but man it looks good. I'm pretty pumped haha. Tuesday, we had interviews with president Johnson. Wow he is soooo awesome. I love interviews with him. He talks like God is really there while he is praying and it was in inspiration to me to make my prayers more meaningful because He really is there!!! And he loves us. After that is was pretty run of the mill because interviews went a little late and so we were at the office for a while. After that we had a way fire district meeting. I'm not sure what it is with serving in บางเขน , but I've got the best companions, districts, members and investigato...
