HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Family,

First of all HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO MOM!! I love you mom!

This week was crazy like usual over here in Cambodia. I am having a blast with Sister Dy. Kanita and May have been having some hard struggles this week and we are going to have to push off their baptism for a few weeks but they are still continuing to progress. Satan works so hard on these people before they get baptized. But I know that they can do it! We met a new investigator this week, ming naet. She committed to a date and we are really excited to continue teaching her! 

Good news is that Sivmey our recent convert is now planning on preparing to serve a mission. She is so amazing and I am so excited to see how her future unfolds! She is such a good help to our ward in TTP and helping everyone get excited about the gospel. 

I love this quote by Elder Richard G. Scott "True enduring happiness with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the most challenging difficulties come from a life centered in Jesus Christ... There is no guarantee of overnight results, but there is absolute assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and emptiness will be filled."

As my investigators have been struggling this past week I was so happy to have this knowledge to share with them, that no matter how hard it is we can make it and have happiness through Christ. We just need to turn to Him and trust in His plan for us. I know that centering our lives in Christ is the only true way to true happiness and peace in this life. 

I love being a missionary here in CTM and TTP. The youth here are so great, they all bought me a cake for my birthday and celebrated with me. I am so lucky to be surrounded by these beautiful Cambodians who have so much love to share.
