Hey everyone!
So
General Conference was last weekend for everyone else but since it takes a week
for it to be translated into Khmer, we got to watch it this weekend! I cannot
emphasize how amazing and important this conference was. I received so many
answers to my questions and personal revelation for me. I know that if everyone
really takes into heart the words that were spoken, your lives can change! I
know that everything that was said was true, because it was testified by God's
living Apostles and Prophets, and everything taught was what God wants us to
know today.
This
week I dont have too much to talk about, we had the usual lessons and ate the
usual foods. But something that was so amazing for me was to see the faith of
one of my investigators. Her name is Napai and she is basically the most
"golden investigator"ever. A month or so ago she showed up at the
church and told us she wanted to learn about what we taught. We couldnt meet
her for a week or two because we had Pchum Benh and other things but she
continually came to church each week and desperately asked for a Book of
Mormon. We committed her to baptism on the first Lesson and she was so
disappointed when she found out she had to learn about 7 more lessons before
she could be baptized. Every time we see her she is just glowing with how much
she has learned and grown from reading the Book of Mormon and how much the
spirit has touched her life. She has told several of her friends about the
Gospel and we are now teaching one her good friends. She has read almost half
the Book of Mormon in the month we have seen her and I am so excited for the
happiness she has found and the ways her life is changing from receiving the
restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
I know this Gospel is true and I am so blessed to be a
missionary. Some people may think that missionaries are the ones who convert
people, but it is not us, it is the Spirit. We are just privileged to be the
ones who get to watch the conversion take place. The Lord is so involved in the
details of our lives and He is preparing those now who are ready to hear the
Gospel. I love my Savior and Heavenly Father, the Book of Mormon, the Gospel,
and being a missionary!! I love all of you and hope you all have the best week!
