GOD IS GOOD

So basically I have no idea where all the time goes but this week was the fastest week of my life. We are super busy and always running around. Well Chinda, Phearom and Bong Pov are all progressing toward their baptismal dates. We had some great lessons on faith this week with Borey. Tola and Sok Nai came to church (new investigators) and just talked about how much peace they feel the second they come to the church. 

We picked up 3 more investigators this week from english class and a member referral. Hopefully we can keep up with all these people and help them to enter into sacred covenants with the Lord. This week really just feels like a blur. BUT it was annual photo week this week so I have some good pictures coming your way. 

We did a mass english class flyer handout this week with all the missionaries here in SMC and we could not have chosen a hotter time of day. It is supposed to be the cold season right now (it is literally NEVER cold here) I am still sweating to death but I love it!!!! Luckily Sister Sok brought an umbrella to keep the heat off a little bit. The poverty here and the circumstances I see and hear about daily breaks my heart. I know that this gospel is truly the only thing that will heal these people. 

We had an impression to go and visit Phearom right after church and a member walked up to us and asked to come. We walked to her house and caught her right as she came back home from buying some medicine. She is having a really hard time with her husband and was contemplating suicide. We got there at the perfect time, the Lord really does lead us to those in need. Long story short there are a lot of hard things out here but in the strength of the Lord we can do all things.

Random note - two of my recent converts from way back in my first area are finishing up their mission papers to send in this week! I am so excited for them :))

It was a good week as always here in paradise. I love being a missionary and being able to see change happen in the lives of those I am blessed to teach. God is good!!

Love Sister Stratford
