hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

well this week was incredible

we have this incredible inv. shes literally the cutest. her name is ming saarin she is 58 years old. her job every day is walking around the side of the streets picking up plastic and then a company gives her money for how ever much she picked up. She has approximately 3 teeth and her skin is all brown and wrinkly. And i dont know if i could love her any more than i do right now. She loves god, and believes so strongly! even though she cannot read, and never went to school, as we teach her, she listens so intently and her testimony that god knows her is so strong. its miraculous to see how different each of gods children are, but how much god loves every single one. and how lucky i am to be able to teach her, and help her come unto christ. 

also, one day just before english class started, we were out contacting. and were just talking to this neak ming, and her sis comes up, but wont even take the eng class flier until her sis says to just take it. but we start trying to talk to her, and make friends with her, and she starts to open up a little and smile with us. just as we are leaving, we hear behind us, oh, christians are good. and my heart just sang a little song. its miraculous to think about how god places in our path opportunities to plant seeds. 

this week we were able to do lots of service! we tore up someones overgrown garden and moved a bunch of rocks/cement for a pathway. when we were working in the garden, we noticed a coconut tree (way normal, these are like literally everywhere here). so one of the eld in our district, took off his shoes and scaled this super tall tree in 15 seconds. it was literally crazy. but super great, cause then he cut down the coconuts and we got to eat them all:)

also had a heart attack this week. i was in the bathroom, and i saw the biggest spider i ever have seen in my entire life. didnt cry, but definitely made my khmae companion come down and kill it for me:)

already sent a bunch of pictures, but heres one of the spider

loves, 

sis smith
