This week was another great, sweaty week. Everyone keeps asking me if I am cold because it is the cold season but still have not gone a day on the mission without sweating to death all day. But its the best I love Cambodia.
This week we found out that Yay Suen and Yay Bon's children are married, don't know why it took so long to figure that out but we are teaching some of their grandchildren and it is so fun. It is the cutest group of families and I always love going to teach them. They always call us "Mister". Yay Bon got baptized yesterday!!!! She was so so excited. After her interview she ran out and gave me a big hug and was just glowing and was just so giddy and happy that she passed her interview so she could get baptized. She is 65 years old and the cutest little grandma ever, her faith is so strong. I want to take her back to America with me.
We had a way cool experience with Kim Yeng this week. So she is currently going to two churches right now. She has a protestant church and our church. She said she just loves to go to lots of christian churches and worship all day on sunday. I started thinking about her during sacrament meeting and what we could do to help her understand that she needs to choose one. I felt like we should show the restoration video,after we watched it she said "Sisters this video touched my heart so much, I feel exactly like Joseph Smith and I need to choose which church is true and ask Heavenly Father to help me." She said she feels like she has known us for a long time and it was almost like she knew us before she met us. We also had her join Yay Bon's baptism and she said that during the service she just kept thinking "Do I need to get baptized? Is this the right thing to do?" I know that our Father in Heaven is directing her path and will help her to know of the truth. She is so amazing and I hope she commits to following the impressions that she receives.
Peak is doing so good and will be getting baptized in a couple weeks she is so cute and I love seeing her family. We had transfers this week and we are now only over Steung Mean Chey 3 - the smallest area in the mission. I am happy I will still get to see my om's but sad to leave some others I love in Steung Mean Chey 1.
I loved John 13: 14-15 this week "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." On the eve of His Atonement, the Savior washed the feet of one who betrayed him, of another who denied Him, and of still others who fell asleep in His most needed hour. There are so many people around us who are in need of our service. We need to follow the example of the Savior and serve as He served, love as He did and strive to always becoming more and more like Him. He is our perfect example and our Friend. I love Him with all my heart and have been loving working beside Him out here in Cambodia for these beautiful people who need so much help.
Love Sister Stratford
