Haha
well as you can see, my mission is starting to wind down a bit, LAST
TRANSFER! And my transfer call is.... IM GOING BACK TO SIEM REAP!!!!!
The SSTLs called me last night and told me and I thought it was a joke.
Nope, I'm going back to one of my all-time favorite areas for my very
last transfer! I will be an STL (Sister Training Leader) covering both
Siem Reap 1 and 2 Branches, and my new companion will be Sister
Fa'atamali'i! She is from Samoa and I am so excited for her to be my
last companion! I have loved serving in Comkamon but I am more than
pumped to go back to Siem Reap. If any of you remember (you probably
dont) I served in Siem Reap my third transfer right out of my training.
my companion was Sister Snooks and it was her last transfer. Since she
was ending, I thought I would stay in SR and lead out the area, but
instead I got transferred and our area was white-washed (two new
missionaries who dont know the area start off fresh in that area). I was
so sad to leave and felt I had unfinished business there. BUT NOW IM
GOING BACK WOOHOO.
So I'm sorry I havent been a
good missionary and sent mass emails int he last few weeks, but let me
repent and recap on my last three weeks.
1.
General Conference was amazing. If you have not watched it or
rewatched/read the talks, please do it. I received so much personal
revelation from this conference and I know each one of us can if we
earnestly seek to follow God's will for us and follow His Prophet.
2.
The temple being built in Cambodia has been the rage for the last few
weeks and members are so excited, they can hardly believe it. It makes
my heart so happy.
3. Phallin was baptized on the 20th!! She
is so amazing and comes to church every week and soaks up all the
information. I am so lucky I was able to be the Sister to finish
teaching her and see her baptized!
4. The 20th was also Sister
Chan-tung's golden birthday! It was such a fun day including a party
popper exploding in Sister Ban's face, and cake being smashed in Sister
CT's face. We also had a Zone activity and bowling on P-day to celebrate
with her :)
5. I went on an exchange to Stungmiancey this
week and it was so much fun! Sister Reyes is from the Philippines and is
the cutest thing ever! I also got to see Trash Mountain for the first
time in my mission, and it really is just piles of trash everywhere!
Most of the Sisters' investigators live and work there so it was cool to
see the way that those people live and embrace the gospel because of
how humble they are.
6. Tad R. Callister (Sunday School
General President) and Elder Meurs (first councilor of the Asia Area
Presidency) came and spoke to all the missionaries this last Saturday,
and it was so cool to see how much knowledge President Callister has. He
taught us on different ways to teach the Plan of Salvation and the
importance of prayer in lessons with our investigators. It was very
inspiring and I hope I can apply it these last few weeks!
Sorry
that was so much information haha. But I am so grateful for the
experinces I have had here in CKM and will continue to have in SR. Love
you all and talk to you next week!!
Sister Bashford
For some reason my SD card is not able to find my photos on the computer, so sorry! Maybe photos will come next week!
