Dear Family,

We spent quite a bit of time this week at our third home, Bangkok Hospital. (first: the church, second: Siam condo, third: the hospital.) We're all healthy now! The bug has been identified and named as Plesiomonas Shigelloides. Sounds about as bad as it was. Poor Sister Carter got it bad. Yay for antibiotics!! We got really good at taking the bus there, and boarding and exiting the bus safely. Thai buses are crazy. (All cars in Thailand are) I guess mom had a crazy driving escapade this week. It was probably a mild Thai style driving. Anyway, when boarding and exiting the bus you must be quick and careful because the bus actually never stops. It kind of just slows down to a roll and the minute you have one foot on it speeds up and takes off at freeway speeds.

The President of BYU Hawaii came and visited us and gave a lil seminar for just the missionaries. He talked about learning, leading, and building. It was really motivating and I liked it.

On Wednesday we met two Jehovah's Witnesses and two saints, Peter and Paul. What a day. The Jehovah's Witnesses were these two sweet Asian ladies. The one lady was probably four feet tall. She stopped and looked up at me and asked if what I was carrying was the scriptures. Yes! She got so excited and so I showed her that it was the Book of Mormon. She smiled, and quickly walked away. Then the saints. We were walking through the university and these two men from Ireland invited us over. We sat down and were informed that they were having a literary discussion of a famous Irish author something James I don't know I guess he's like their Shakespeare, anyway somehow we got the conversation going about our church and they agreed to walk with us back to the church. (2 minute walk from where we were) We walked in and I immediately could tell that Paul was so uncomfortable. He liked the paintings as we walked him through the church. He asked me if I'd ever read the Book of Mormon. I could tell that he had a lot of questions, and then they all came out. And all of his opinions and things he's confused about and why the world is such a terrible place and a couple other things. We just listened. I'm so glad we listened. I hope that we gave him a better impression of our church. I didn't really do this story justice. Sorry. I'll tell you more some other time.

Our elevator makes this lovely lil chime when it arrives. Just four notes that sound like the start to Lead Kindly Light. It's nice.

We were so productive this week! Despite all our hospital visits. Oh and I went to the dentist. That was funny. They put this purple washcloth thing over my face that covered my eyes, nose, and chin but had a hole where my mouth is. It was really weird but kind of nice to not have that bright light in my eyes. 

I'm so happy here. It's great to be a missionary. I'm so grateful for prayer. We can and should ask for help. I need to ask more questions in my prayers. I know the Lord hears and answers us. Have a wonderful week!

Love, 

Sister Sahagun
