This was a slow week in Cambodia as far as teaching goes. We had the water festival all week and so all of our investigators cancelled on us. But we had a lot of training this week. We had new missionary training as well as zone conference. So amazing! President Christensen is an amazing mission president and I learned so much from him this past week.
One thing that I have been studying this week was about patience. I love in Psalms 27:14 where is says "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." I know for me a lot of times I get impatient and have a hard time being patient waiting on the Lord for answers and for guidance. But I have had a reaffirmed testimony of the power of patience this week. I know that the Lord always hears our prayers and He always answers them. Sometimes we just don't recognize the things and that ways he answers us and He doesn't always answer us in the ways that we would expect. I also think that sometimes the Lord doesn't answer because we aren't ready to receive the answers. It is so important to be continually striving to become more converted unto the Lord each day and be worthy and ready to receive the things He would have us know. Patience is a virtue and I am trying to become a more patient person. We need to work as hard as we can and do all we can to try to come to the Lord each day.
We went with some of the elders this week to bless a house of one of the members in our ward. She is a super funny lady. After the beautiful prayer on the house she asked the elders to go throw flowers at her house. It was the most hilarious thing to watch these elders as they threw flowers along the pathway of her house. I wish I had a picture.
There are so many amazing people here in Cambodia and they make my heart so happy. I hope to be able to become as loving as they are. You can truly see the light of Christ in all of His children here in Cambodia. I love Cambodia!!!
Love Sister Stratford
