hi hi hi

so this week has been INCREDIBLE

i am training! My koon is from america, and she's awesome! This week, we had a ton of our appointments fall through, so we contacted a lot. And seriously, so many miracles. 

One night, we had everyone cancel on us, so we just decided to bike around and talk to people. and i see this guy sitting on the sidewalk next to his car, which has the hood up, and i was like, well, i know nothing about cars but it looks like its broken, so he probably needs help. so we stop, and i ask him if he needs any help, and he starts laughing. and im like, yah, i know im this random white girl-i actually cant do anything to help with your car. the first thing he says to us, in perfect english, is "hey, you're mormons, right?" and im dying inside, because how often do you see a miracle unfold right before your eyes?! anyways, so of course we say, yes we are mormon missionaries! and he says, "i can tell because of your brand", and then he explains further, ÿa know with the bicycles and the helmets and the outfits, and the big hearts" so we keep talking to him, and he tells us that hes already called everyone on his phone, and no one can help him so hes just gonna wait, and "we are truly angels because a million people had already passed him, and we were the only ones that stopped" all i know is that god shows us every day that He is there. He is in all the intricate moments in our lives. He walks with us. and we just have to open our eyes and see Him. 

the gospel is the most wonderful thing. i am so honored to be serving in His name. i promise all that more happiness, more peace, more blessings that you can even imagine are waiting for you as soon as you turn your life to christ. its true, as missionaries, we do not offer money or food or housing. here in cambodia, we see these needs on a daily basis. but what we do offer is of much more worth, and has a much deeper effect than simply feeding someone a meal, or giving someone a bed for the night. what we offer is jesus christ. 2 Ne 26:25  Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price.

have a great week!!
