Dearest loved ones,
The MTC is now home to Sister AND Elder Sahagun!!!! The day he came in to the MTC was one of great excitement and rejoicing in the Thailand district! (Mostly just me and my companion...or just me) Sister Mullen got a package slip after lunch so naturally we had to go get it right at that moment. It was around 2-ish and I just kept thinking "Nick is coming any minute!!!" On our way to the mail room I ran into a Sister I knew at BYU it was so fun to see her, and then all the sudden someone grabbed my shoulder and it freaked me out! I turned around and it was Elder Sahagun looking super anxious, a lil excited, and lost with this huge grin!!! I was so shocked that we actually ran into him I was speechless. He gave me this super awkward missionary handshake and that was pretty much it. His host was walking away and the whole situation was just weird. Oh brother, I should have just hugged him! I haven't seen him since and I have no idea how he's doing or where his classroom is or anything! I got his box number from the front desk and they let me send him a message so I could get those pictures from him, but he just left the bag in my classroom without a note or anything! Such a punk! Any-who, I probably won't run into him since we have such different schedules, but I'll send him a message and you all should too. He's only here until March 13th so write him lots! Use dearelder.com! He'll love that.

Elder Russell M. Nelson was our devotional speaker last Tuesday! It was amazing, I love every devotional here. He talked about how much the Lord trusts his youth. It's incredible to think about that and go through all the examples we have of that in the church especially Joseph Smith. The Lord trusts us! We must live worthy of that trust! Also, Preach My Gospel is the best book second to the Book of Mormon. I love it. Every question I've ad about being a better missionary, improving my scripture study, being a better planner, all of them have been answered in that book. This work is hard, but I know that I can do it with the Lord's help. I am so happy.
Thai is coming along. It's such a pretty language! Sister Mullen and I have memorized our purpose in Thai!! Oh and I can read script! It takes forever just to read one verse or scripture. There are so many rules and exceptions, but I guess it's not as bad a learning English. I think the hardest part is figuring out what tone it is. We are teaching two investigators right now, and we will begin teaching a third one this week (It will actually be a companionship from our district). Oh dear some of the Elders in our district say the most random thing. Elder Smith to our teacher Brother Shipley, "Do the people in Thailand use rice for sacrament instead of bread?" It was hilarious. That is not a thing. There is bread in Thailand. Wow.
Sorry this was all so random. All is well. I'll keep an eye out for Elder Sahagun. I hope you are all healthy and happy! Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Sahagun
