May 2017---Weird things you might see in Thailand!

 No it's not illegal!!

 Mid day snacks at a rest stop

 A road trip to the Northeast to complete an assignment from Mission Medical

 Went back to Korat.  The bishop was showing me a picture of himself as a young man.

 Next stop was Roi Et

 He wouldn't spread his tail for us

 Sharing about the importance of home and visiting teaching.  Shared about my experience visiting Brother Boonlua, who is unable to go to church d/t age and poor health

 We also stopped in Khon Kaen then went to Udorn.  We flew back between layers of clouds.  It was so surreal!!

 Love these beautiful ladies!  Cherry and Supreeda

 Waiting for Elder Cook's arrival.  They were all so giddy with excitement!

 Waiting to be taught by Elder Cook.  Special Missionary meeting at the Asoke chapel.

 Member meeting with Elder Cook at the Amari Watergate Hotel.  It was packed!

 Sweet Sister Tum. One of my kindred spirits!  We have known each other for 42 years but don't get to see each other very often.

 We wrapped up the month of May with Zone Conference.  I feel so blessed to get to work with these amazing missionaries.

May 2017--- Love this cute couple.  Steven and Som

 Seven baptisms!

 Such cuties!

 Ran into an old friend!  Somsak and his daughter

 On the night bus to Chiang Mai for Youth Conference.  I was asked to go as one of the nurses.

 They were tired after riding on the bus all night!

 Somsak as a young man in Hawaii, where he was one of my teachers in the LTM.  Can you guess which one he is?

 The Grand Canyon Waterpark in Chiang Mai.  One of the youth conference activities

 Supreeda being brave!

 The kids stayed at a Safari Park

 We decided to hitch a ride!

 A traditional Thai house

 There's nothing like Thai coconut ice cream!!

 The kids put on quite a show at Youth Conference

 All psyched up for the long ride back to Bangkok!

 BYU International Dancers came and put on a show with the Thai MSU dancers

 Loved the tap dancing and clogging

 The Thai dancers learned a Western dance

 We made a trip to Korat where I served for 6 months on my first mission here

 This sweet 96 year old member had pictures of my family in Saudi Arabia.  He lived there for 5 years

 He cried when he realized I was the same person in the pictures

 Such a sweet and tender reunion

 Brother Boonleua and his wife with the Korat bishop on the left of me and Elder and Sister Gay
