This is Phoutarack Ratsamyvong.
We call her Phouta ~ Poota
She was born in Laos.
She escaped by
swimming across the Mekong River.
She put her clothes and belongings in
a bucket, put it around her neck and swam.
When she got to Thailand she became a
Buddhist Nun because people would respect her.
It's hard to understand the whole story but she was in
jail for a period of time also.
She was baptized a couple of years ago but
still doesn't have a grasp of the gospel.
We visit her, encourage her to read the Book of Mormon,
read the church pamphlets.
We did get her a Book of Mormon in Laos, and some pamphlets also.
Whenever she talks about God she always
calls him 'Father, God'.
One day we asked her to read out of the Book of Mormon.
When she finished she looked at us and smiled
and said God loves me!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
She is a joy to visit!
She truly loves God and Prays Always!
I crocheted her this blanket. She loved it!
She is around my age.
She has lived a totally different life.
A life of survival, a life of great faith!
What is the name of the River Phouta swam to escape Laos to live in Thailand?
