He Created the World FOR YOU

Hello everyone! My phone is about to die, so I don't have much time haha. 

But this week was SO GOOD. Ahhhhh I just love the people in Nakhonsawan so much!!

Here are some highlights from the week:
- We moved! We live in a veeery small apartment now, but as my companions say, "when else will we get the opportunity to sleep in our kitchen!"
- Went to Swensens! Sooo อร่อยมาก
- We had an amazing lesson with our friend พี่แอร์(Pi Air). She stopped working for a little bit and even took notes in her Book of Mormon while we were teaching! I LOVE her!
- We found someone at a market who got a Book of Mormon from some Elders a few months ago and has been reading it ever since!
- We have been teaching one of the young women piano lessons! Teaching music in Thai is probably one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it is teaching me that ALL of my skills come from the Lord. And I can not do anything effectively without Him.  
- We went to Shrek the Musical! And saw my companion's little sister in it. It definitely cured my itch for musical theatre haha, and she absolutely CRUSHED it. 

All in all, I love my mission! It is definitely hard at times, but with all the learning, God is also giving me experiences I just adore. I know that He assigned me here because it is where He needs me, but I also know that it is because He knew I would love living here!

God is in the details! Sometimes it feels like He created Thailand just for me. 

What has He created in this world specifically for you? I promise there is something ;)

Love you lots!!
- Sister South

Last Week of MTC!!!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! This week has been amazing!! We only have about 3 more days here, which is CRAZY, and then we're off to Thailand!! This week I've been thinking a lot about my family. Growing up, they always taught me to be the first ones to start working and the last ones to leave. I learned to always "ask for your next job" until the work was completed. Whether it is doing service projects, cleaning up ward activities, or working on the playhouse, we always strive to follow that motto.  In the Book of Mormon, the brother of Jared and his family were living in a place called Moriancumer. They had put a lot of work into building up their home there, and they were very comfortable and content. After 4 years of living there, the Lord spoke to the brother of Jared and asked him why he "remembered not to call upon the name of the Lord".   The Lord always has more work for you to do! We can't just sit in our comfortable li...

THAILAND!!

Helloooo from Thailand!! I am so sorry I don't have a lot of time today, but I will try to send a longer email next week! It's official! I got here last week, and it's been crazy but so so good! My trainer's name is Sister Skidmore and she is absolutely AMAZING! I am so so blessed to be with her, and she knows literally everything haha. I am so excited to learn from her! I am in Hua Hin and I LOVE the people here! The hardest part has been the culture shock. But I have found so much comfort in the Spirit! "for the Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and forever." - 2 Nephi 2:4 No matter where we are, the spirit and the gospel are the same for all of God's children. I have never been more grateful for this truth, but I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to find true peace because His Spirit is consistent and constant.  I love you all!! And I miss you! Good luck 23A! - Sister South Leaving the MTC In the Salt Lake City airport

Thank You!!

Hello everyone!!  I wanted to thank you all for the thoughtful emails you sent me this week. They completely turned my week around and helped me feel so much love and positivity. I am so incredibly blessed to have friends and family like you supporting me while I am gone. Thank you for following the promptings of the Spirit. What may have seemed like small gestures to you were huge miracles in my life. Thank you for being such amazing examples to me! I love you all!! This week has been a rollercoaster! But so so good!! I love my district more and more every day, and it is so hard to imagine being a missionary without them. I can't wait for these next 10 days together!  Probably the hardest part about being in the MTC is not having children in my life! I miss them sooooo much! Children love so freely, and they love so simply! I try hard to see the world through their eyes without all of the prejudice and judgment, but it's really difficult! Loving others is so simple, and I adm...
