This week was another adventure! We had some zone conferences that we went around to and taught at with President. We had a really fun road trip up to Siem Reap with President and Sister Lewis and the AP's, President and Sister Lewis crack me up. They are the funniest couple to watch and they told us lots of funny stories from their lives. After we did zone conference out in Siem Reap I got to head over to BATTAMBANG!!!! We did an exchange with the sisters out there and it was so much fun to go back and see all the people that I love and miss. Battambang is as beautiful as ever. Everyone told me that I look a lot whiter than before. (you just lose all the tan in the city its so sad)
We lucked out and didn't have to take the bus home because the Colvins were up doing cleaning checks. So we drove home with Elder and Sister Colvin - that was crazy. I thought I was going to die on the way home. We were driving anywhere from 100 - 125 mph the whole way and Elder Colvin was passing people like crazy. The good news is it usually takes us 8 hours to get back but Elder Colvin shaved off some good time and got us there in 5 hours and 15 minutes. SO FAST.
General Conference was amazing as always! I am still just so overjoyed about the temple we are getting in Cambodia! Although it has not officially been announced the site it will be built, I am looking forward to it and hoping it is in this area! We are so lucky to have a living prophet today to lead and guide us back to our Savior.
Best news of the week - CANLY STOPPED DRINKING COFFEE!!! She has been slowly getting herself off and she stopped all together. YAY she will be getting baptized in a few weeks. Bong mom and Ny are all still doing really well and progressing toward their baptismal dates. Lina is still really hesitant about receiving a baptismal date but we had some bomb lessons with her this week and hope to get her on the covenant path.
I love 2 Kings 6: 15-17
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
As we are striving to follow our prophets counsel with exactness and doing all we can to center Christ in our lives we will have chariots round about us always there lifting us up and strengthening us. As we are following the Savior and His ways we need not fear, the Lord is always on our side waiting to help us every step of the way. I am so thankful for a loving Savior who leads and directs us today.
Love,
Sister Stratford
