I have had the opportunity to go teach with the sister missionaries a lot lately.  The other day I went with them to see Jonny, who is a member from Iran.  He was converted to the gospel in Rumania and then had to go back to his country.  He said he really missed being able to go to church and associate with other members, so he left Iran and moved to Thailand.  Just a few months ago, Sister Carillo had met and taught Michael, who was also from Iran.  He was baptized just before Jonny arrived and they have been a great support to one another.  There is so much going on here it boggles my mind!!  We had our senior conference.  We went to Khao Yai, a Thai national park, for a few days.  It was wonderful to get to know all the other senior couples better and to spend some quality time with President and Sister Johnson.  All my sweet friends here made sure I had a wonderful birthday on June 16th.  It couldn't have been better.  I love being here.  I am so blessed to have this opportunity!!
