Getting that tan back!

Hello everyone!
So this past week we had transfers - I didn't request anything, but God knew exactly what I wanted!  
I got transferred (Sister Mamea stayed and is now companions with Sister Holmes - so lucky!)
I am now in Korat - in the same Zone as Mahasarakham, so I think I can probably request to go visit everyone!  I hope so anyways.  :)
I feel so lucky to be here.  All I really wanted for my last transfer was to able to ride my bike and work hard.  That's what I get to do now!   I forgot how good it is to ride my bike and be able to see the stars.  It truly is the greatest.

This week we also saw a miracle - an investigator who was a member referral got baptized.  The miracle is that she was actually able to get into the font.  She got into a car accident a while back and the estimated recovery time was about 6 months.  It has been about 4 and she was able to do it!  I think she broke her hip and she had to get a metal rod inserted.  She called us Friday saying that she wanted to get baptized on Sunday!  And she was.  Sister Tasani.  She's so wonderful.  It was a touching moment to see her climbing up the ladder into the font - all of us were tearing up.  I know she has great faith and that God really helped her to do this thing.  She's wonderful!  What a great addition to the Lord's kingdom on earth.

I know that God will help us when we have the right desires and when we have faith in Him.  Miracles have not ceased to exist as long as the faith of the children of men persists.

I love you all!
Love,
Sister Norrell

(Sorry for the short email - I'll plan my time out better next time.  :)

Pictures:
Previously in Korat there were 6 missionaries and a Senior Couple.  3 of those missionaries left and they got 5.  So imagine that.  5 missionaries all moving to the same area at the same time.  2 brand new missionaries too!  That's a lot of bags.  Here is Sister Yanisa when we were all trying to check our bags in at the bus station.  At least 12 bags and 3 bikes. I think they hated us.  There wasn't enough room one the bus so we had to wait for our bikes to come on another bus.  


Elder Tamang's bike seat is really really high.  He's too tall! 


The Korat church is currently under construction - they are expanding it.  Luckily, we have a rented building!  This is the English sign outside the building  - along with the pretty sunset! 


TRANSFERS

Me and Sister Yanisa, with Sister Lam and Sister Jane (A Sister from Bangkapi that is just coming in this transfer!  She's so great.  And she's going to be trained in Chiang Mai.  Super jealous!) 


Elder Beatty got sent to Myanmar!  Won't be seeing him again for a long time.  :P


These kids are my new best friends.  Owen and Noel.  The first time I met Noel she was so happy that our names were so similar!  And the rest is history!
