It's been another super eventful week in Cambodia! To start
off, my bowels have graciously been cured thanks to everyone's prayers and a
lot of pepto!! The only thing that happened was I puked my guts out last night.
It was basically all just rice so that's fun. That's when you know you live in
Asia!
Our investigators are seriously so amazing. Neary was
baptized yesterday and given the Holy Ghost! The bishop showed up an hour late
(typical Cambodia) so we were cutting it pretty close with sacrament but it was
an amazing service. She has so much faith and was shining the whole day! We also
have five other investigators that have baptismal dates and so many more that
will probably have one in the coming weeks. The work is progressing here so
much and it is just a huge testimony builder to me that God prepares the hearts
of the people who are ready to hear the Gospel!! I love being a missionary!
On Friday night we made it home at exactly 7:30 and the rain
started to pour SO HARD. I have never seen so much rain in my life and it was
amazing. Sister Luke and I were on our balcony eating banana bread and
listening to Josh Groban sing in Italian when we decided we need to live a
little. We went onto the roof and danced in the rain for half an hour. It was
so flooded we were able to run and do belly slides and be completely covered in
water. It was seriously so much fun!! I wish I could send the videos but the
files are too big. You will just have to deal with some blurry dark
pictures!
I am seriously loving Cambodia more and more every single
day. the people are so humble yet will give you the shirt off their back,
literally. We have to be careful of what we compliment because the Viet sisters
said they liked one of their members cardigan things and she literally took it
off and gave it to her. They always give us so much food too, and will spend
the last of their money to buy us gifts. They are so amazing and I am so
blessed to be able to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them every single
day! The church is true!
Love you all and I hope you have the best week!!
