Assembly in Bangkok
Sorry I haven't had time to write! I promise I will soon, but I at least got a chance to put together a video of our English assembly.
I think our peak attendance was around 480 on Sunday. It was really cool getting to see English speakers from across the whole country! Our District Overseer had big news for us. He and his wife have been invited to Gilead! They most likely will be reassigned to Thailand because of the need here. When they come back they can join the other missionary couple assigned to Bangkok.
The pioneer meeting was perfectly tailored to our needs, even though it was in more accents than i've ever heard in one place. One brother gave a great illustration about our Bible students. Teaching them is like building a high-rise. When you build a high-rise, you don't stop after the first few floors. You have to see it through till you get to the top. So with our Bible students, we can't just give them the basics and expect them to take it from there. We have to stay with them through all the many levels of progress it takes to make it to baptism. Gave me ample motivation to help all my students make it to the top floor!
Ok, but now we have to go to bed so I will finish later.
