what an incredible week. missions are the FUNNEST!!!
Every morning at 5:30 the alarm goes off and 150 missionaries in cambodia roll out of bed and onto their knees to pray and it is the beginning of another incredible day here. There are so many great things are happening in Cambodia. Im amazed to see how God's word truly goes forward to all people, in every country.
its been the best being with a khmae companion! i am learning so much khmae and how to live in cambodia. i bike down the allyways and im in love with it here. the sky, the roads, the motos, the markets, the language. its wonderful. We had an investigator, Ming Raa come to church! It was super awesome! She walked with her two little boys an hour to get there! she is super super awesome! please pray for her, and her family, that they will continue to see the blessings of the gospel in there lives, and want to make the sacrifice to continue to come unto Christ!
also, on another happy note. i made brownies on the stove-in a frying pan. who knew that was even a thing? and they were delicious!!!
We started a make up class this week! so i just got to do peoples make up for an hour and practice my khmae. it was super great! and we got an investigator from it! Srei Ni is awesome! she told us she wants to meet every day! so pray that she will continue to have the desire to come unto christ, even if that means change and sacrifice.
in cambodia, they have 3 seasons-the hot season, the wet season, and the windy season! (i actually believe theres just 2 seasons-wet and windy, and its hot all the time lolz) i came for the last part of the hot season, and were beginning the rainy season! every day, around 4, it POURS!!! and often, we are out biking. i have never gotten so wet, so fast. this week, we got caught in a rainstorm, and didnt put our raincoats on fast enough, so we taught english class sopping wet. :) it was a party!
One of my favorite scriptures is alma 37:34. i love the phrase, "never be weary of good works". theres so much good to be done in this world-let us do all we can to help others. and then, what an amazing promise we are given-that "we shall find rest to our souls" super incredible. i encourage all of you to find more ways to never be weary of doing good, but to fill your life with good.
have a fantastic week! love sis smith
