Subject: Love your self dont use
drags
Hey
everyone!
The
header makes more sense if you look at my pictures, don't you just love
Cambodia? Always trying to uplift us and give advice :)
This
week went by so fast! We had Zone Conference on Saturday which was amazing, got
two new investigators, and set two serious baptismal dates with our progressing
investigators!! We are so excited for the blessings of hard work and the gospel
changing lives to roll in. Our investigators are so good right now, the only
problem is everyone is only free to learn after 5 or on Sundays, so you had
best believe Sunday is the busiest day of the week! Currently, Rotana, Bong
Thalin, and Cheng Ey are our investigators that will be baptized in the next
few weeks so everyone get ready!
My
language skills are improving every single day, and I feel less and less like
this crazy Asian language is impossible to learn! It's the hardest puzzle I
have ever had to solve but it is starting to get way more fun.
Sister
Jennings and I are doing so great here in Stungmianchey and we are so close!
Every day feels like an adventure and we are loving every second of being
together. We may or may not have so much fun that we break our beds on accident
(seen in picture below) and just decide to have slumber parties with our foam
mats on the floor!
Cambodia
is the best. Being a missionary is the best. The Gospel is the best. I love you
all and hope you have the best week and find something to smile about!

Hey
so I just told this to Hannah but this morning I was personal studying about
the temple. I read the talk "The Temple gives us Higher Vision" by
Jean B Bingham in the January Liahona. It is so good. If you havent read it you
have to read it. There is a small picture of the gilbert temple stained glass
window in the celestial room on it and the song they share afterwards has the
gilbert glass on the border and lowkey made me trunky. I am only trunky for two
things ever, you guys and the temple. Yesterday, the ward I served in in Siem
Reap left for a temple trip to the Hong Kong temple with 19 people. It is the
first and probably only time these people will ever go to the temple. Some of
them have been saving for YEARS, literally I saw the temple plans and for some
people they have saved 25 cents every single day for 7 years to be able to go.
I saw all the pictures of them before they left and I have never seen a group
of cambodians look happier in their entire lives. They are coming back Saturday
and will be doing as many sessions as possible before they go home. There are
two families being sealed together and one of them was a family I was extremely
close with. It makes me so happy that they have this opportunity and so grateful
that we literally have a temple within 10 minutes of our house. I want you and
the whole family to "set goals and make plans" (lol thats literally
all we do on the mission and in PMG) to be able to go to the temple. Tell all the kids that this is literally all I want. Derek is turning 12
this year (WHAT THE CRAP HES SO OLD I CANT EVEN HANDLE IT) and he needs to see
how important the temple is for him and he would seriously love to go with all
of his older siblings (especially carson). It kills me that I cant be there for
the first time he goes to the temple or gets the priesthood or passes the
sacrament but I know that I need to be here and everyone else has got to help
him prepare for that. I love you go\uys so much and I dont want to sound
preachy at all I just know that the temple is the greatest place on earth and I
want the greatest people in my life to go there as much as possible. I LOVE YOU
MOM
