This week was so good! We got transfer calls last night and I will be going to BATTAMBONG :)))) I am super stoked to go out to the ខេត្ត (khites) and see what its like because I have been in the city my whole mission. I am going to be companions with Sister Eckman and will be Sister Training Leader. I can't wait!!! I will miss TTP and CTM though. Sister Eckman is just getting out of her training so we will hit it hard! Also Sister Dy is from Battambong 2 and so I will get to meet her family and all of these people she has been talking about these last 2 transfers which will be super cool. I AM PUMPED!!!!!!!!! Also can hardly wait for general conference next week!
Other than transfer calls this week was a slower week. Most of our investigators have already headed back to the khites for Khmer New Year. Srei Lek is such a miracle investigator we continue to see miracles with her everyday and I will miss her, she makes us laugh. She asks the most bizzare questions and always asks me who my husband is and if she can meet him... Super funny. But she is so good!
This week one of our recent converts shared with us a little bit about her past. When she was 2 years old her parents got divorced and they didn't want to keep her and so she was sent to live with her grandparents. She has grown up not really knowing her parents, and having to do everything on her own because her grandparents don't care much for her either. She said she has never know what it feels like to have love at home and people that really care for her. She said she has felt more love from strangers than from her family. It was super heartbreaking to hear. But she said that every time that she reads the book of mormon she just feels so warm and she said she knows that because of this Heavenly Father really loves her and has a plan for her. She has felt so much warmth from this church and she is so happy that she found it and that it fills her life with love. This gospel truly can heal us!
The Book of Mormon is so powerful!!! I was really loving studying Alma 58:10-12 this week
10 Therefore we did pour out o
I know that the Lord hears our prayers and will strengthen us and deliver us out of our afflictions and tribulations. We have assurance from Him that as we trust Him, He will help us. There is so much hope and strength that comes from the gospel and from reading the book of mormon. I know that the Lord is truly involved in the details of our lives and has a plan for each of us.
LOVE YOU!
