This week was a hot one. Lots happening over here in Cambodia, Kanha came back and started meeting with us again and we got her on date! Kim is supposed to be baptized this evening, switched her date because of school finals, by her older brother who got baptized about 4 months ago so I think this will be a super powerful baptism! I am super excited and hope all goes as planned! You never know what's going to happen baptisms are always crazy but we are excited! We had a little miracle this week with one of our investigators. Her name is srei lek and she has a really hard time remembering anything and isn't all there and so we were going to drop her, BUT she has been consistently coming to church the past 5 weeks and when we taught her she remembered the law of chastity and word of wisdom before prayer which was kind of weird, never taught that lesson first but you just do what the Spirit directs and we see miracles! We are really hoping that we can help her remember the simple truths of the gospel and bring her closer to Christ.
Ming Naet that we haven't met with forever is still in her kite we are way sad about it, her neighbors told us she was really sick and so we are hoping she can get better and come back to the city. Sina is still progressing and we have a lot of great new investigators we are hoping will continue to want to learn. ALSO we had 2 members from TTP and 1 from CTM receive their mission calls this week and they are all serving in CAMBODIA WAHOOO. They will come next transfer which we are super excited about we are kind of lacking missionaries (especially sisters) right now. We only have 88 missionaries and 22 sisters. But we should be getting lots next transfer so we are pumped! Also President Moon came and visited the mission and we were able to visit with him and his wife in TTP super cool.
This week I was studying a lot about the Book of Mormon. I have made some goals about using the Book of Mormon more and I want to be able to answer all of our investigators questions through the Book of Mormon to help them really base their testimony and conversion on it. One quote that I loved was "Within the book's pages, you will discover the infinite love and incomprehensible grace of God. As you strive to follow the teachings you find there, your joy will expand, your understanding will increase and the answers you seek to the many challenges mortality presents will be opened to you."-Elder Stevenson. THIS IS SO TRUE. I have found so much joy from this book. There is so much power in it and most importantly it brings us closer to our Savior.
"...they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul."(Jacob 2:8)
The Book of Mormon truly heals us and brings us to our Savior, I am so thankful that we have this book and I promise that as you read it you will feel of your Saviors love and draw closer to Him. And you will receive power to overcome the temptations of the devil. REAAAAD IT EVERYDAY!
I LOVE YOU ALL
