This week has been so awesome!! Sabbaychet (happy heart-trying to romanize characters is hard so sorry!)
The best thing that happened this week was during TRC (when we teach members in cambodia over skype). usually trc isnt my fav, cause skype always has the worst connection so your trying to speak all in khmae to these members, but eveything keeps cutting out, and the calls always drop and the volume is super wack. so when you add all of that to the already existing language barrier, its pretty frustrating, and ususlly you just end up guessing what they are saying, or just laughing cause no one understands anything. but this week-all of that was happening but super increased! so the girl we were teaching just decided to get off, cause it wasnt working-which kinda left us in a weird spot-cause now who do we teach? lolz. but then our teacher skyped one of his converts and we have heard all about this kid-hes 18 years old, and such a strong member! so we got to talk to this kid we have been hearing about for weeks! it was such a tender mercy to see the fruits of someone elses mission, and what a reminder of what we are sent to do. so so cool. 
another way cool thing about this week was THAT WE GOT OUR FLIGHT PLANS. guys. cambodia is so real. i literally walked (and jumped and ran and shouted for joy) the entire rest of the day hugging my flight plans. SO HAPPY. also stoked cause we get to leave in the middle of the day, so we are planning to feast on all the good food at the airport!
one of the coolest things i learned this week was during my study of the tree of life. I love how in 1 ne 8:33 it says "but we heeded them not". this is such an important thing to remember. people will always make fun of, or judge, or persecute those who follow christ, but as we "heed them not", and keep our eyes focused on the savior, and know that his opinion is what matters, then we will not be swayed from following christ. because we know in who created us and we know in who we trust.
i love the gospel with all my heart! so happy to be going to cambodia! have a safe and happy week!
love sis smith
