Words can't even begin to express how I feel about my mission and the beautiful people of Cambodia, they have truly changed my heart forever. I have learned so much, and grown in so many ways I didn't even think possible. I am so thankful for this opportunity that I have had to work along side the Savior of the world it truly has been a blessing and a privilege. I have learned countless lessons as I have served as a full time missionary and I will just share a few:
- God LOVES LOVES LOVES His children (especially in Cambodia)
- The true key to happiness is to labor for the happiness of others
- The Lord can only shape and refine us if we let Him
- His arms are always outstretched in love
- The Lord always prepares a way as we work hard and are exactly obedient
- It's all about the small and simple things
- Heavenly Fathers plan is perfect
- Being quick to observe
- The Lord is involved in EVERY detail of our lives
- Love is the essence of the gospel
- PATIENCE
- Where much is given, much is required
- The Savior of the world labors alongside those who serve Him
- Expect miracles - they happen everyday
- Being deliberate about my discipleship
- The Book of Mormon has power - and truly heals the wounded soul
- Humility
- Meekness
- Love and Charity
- How to be effective and efficient with time
- Keeping an eternal perspective
- We have an infinitely patient Father in Heaven
- How to weave through traffic on a bike
- Raid is a man's best friend
- Cambodia is too hot
- Cambodia has the kindest, most loving people
- I love my Savior and Redeemer and know that He lives and is directing and guiding His restored church today!
I just can't even express to you the overwhelming joy that I have found as I have served this mission. This mission saved my life and I am eternally thankful for it. Cambodia has my heart forever.
