We had transfers this week and I was really sad to see Sister Clark go back to America but also way excited for her! We had a leadership meeting the morning of transfers and taught all the leaders about how important their example is, as well as exact obedience. After transfers were all finished we had a sisters conference which was really fun that lasted until the next day. Sister Sok, Sister Clark and I all taught about how to be an effective missionary as a training segment during the Sisters Conference. It was really fun and it seemed like all the sisters enjoyed it!
We had a short new missionary training for the new sister from Cambodia and I finally headed on over to SMC. The first night we were there I saw a cockroach and so I sprayed it and it ran into the cupboard. To make sure it was going to die I opened up the cupboard and literally 40 cockroaches came running out, we ran outside to buy some raid and came back and raided the whole apartment complex out. So very thankful for Raid, it saves lives out here. Good news is haven't seen any ants yet!
I still haven't met all of our investigators, but Pirom and Bong Pov are way cute they both came to church this week. When we were out contacting we found Tola who came up to us and said she wanted to learn and then came to all 3 hours of church, miracle!
The people here are so funny I have had 6 or 7 people come up to me and ask to take a picture because I am white and have blonde hair pretty funny. There are more dogs than people out here. The wards are great and I have a lot of missionaries from my MTC group in this area so it should be fun!
I have been thinking a lot about the importance of the sacrament and how important it is that we have it every week, so that we can remember. We need to be coming to the sacrament table hungry and prepared for the feast. No matter how monotonous the speakers are or how crazy the children are running around, as we come prepared we can feast! 3 nephi 20: 8 says "He that eateth this bread eateth of my body to his soul; and he that drinketh of this wine drinketh of my blood to his soul; and his soul shall never hunger nor thirst, but shall be filled."
I also really love 2 nephi 26:24" He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation."
As we partake of the sacrament we can truly feel the draw pulling us closer to our Father in Heaven through His Son.
Love Sister Stratford
