September 16th, 2018: Transfer 11

Hey everyone!

Transfer calls came last night and I am staying in CKM but Sister Eckman is transferring to my birth area!  will be companions with Sister Dy, who is going into her 10th transfer. Weird that we are companions and both so old in the mission but I am excited! 
This week we were invited again to eat dinner with the Johnson's but this time wasnt as big of a shock. Their family is so wonderful and I am so happy to be serving near them! 
We had so many miracles happen this week, including teaching two new investigators, setting baptismal dates with four investigators, gong on an exchange with Sister Lunsford in CA and seeing my recent converts, and an Elder in our mission's life being saved by a few hours. God is truly watching over all of us in Cambodia, whether we are missionaries or native Khmers trying to find the truth.

This week in personal study I read the Hope of Israel youth devotional given by President and Sister Nelson. Whether you are a youth or not, you must read/watch it. It is one of the most powerful things I have ever read and made me feel so lucky and grateful for the opportunity to be serving in God's kingdom and to be one of His missionaries. Whether we are set-apart as full-time missionaries or are member missionaries, we all have an important part to play in building up the Lord's Kingdom on the earth. I invite all of you to study the devotional and to take part in the challenge that President Nelson gave (if you have not already done it, but you could always do it again). I know that this is revelation received by our living Prophet and that if we heed his counsel, we will all see improvement in our lives, no matter what our situations may be. 

I love you all and hope you all will have an amazing week!!
Sister Bashford
