hi it was another great week! actually, it was one of those weeks that are so full of miracles and happiness i cant even explain all of it. so ill attach a lot of pics:)

i think the best part was that we have this inv, souy, and i love her so so much. she's preparing to get baptized this week and my heart is so happy. so we got to meet with her lots and help her. 

also we had a GREAT exchange, and i got to be with one of my sisters from the mtc (and we've been on opposite side of the country our entire missions until now) and it was so fun actually doing missionary work together and it was just incredible

plus we had zone conf and thats always great

pics: 1. me and my tri of compions plus souy (the young one in the front) whos getting baptized and ming saarin who is preparing for baptism (the old one in the front) at a members house after church for lunch. were eating khmae curry (mom dont get too excited, indian curry is way better)

HIS WEEK WAS AWESOME

sorry no pics

we added another sister to our companionship-now a tripanionship-and its a party!! 

this week we had a way cool experience. we've been working with this girl and shes so good. the longer we have met with her, the more she had opened up. this week she told us some pretty crazy things about her past, and it was cool because i am really seeing how god prepares the way. he has prepared me for a very long time to come to this area and meet with her, and share some of my experiences and i am just so in awe of gods plan for each of his children. 

also made mexican food for the first time since being on my mission and im still obsessed. it was the happiest lunch ever

sorry we have no time! have a great week!

HI FROM CAMBODIA

cambodia is still incredible, the area is still incredible, the language is still (hard and) incredible. basically, everything is still great. not a lot to update from this last week. just a lot of teaching, and bike riding and sweating and testifying and loving the people. 

crashed a wedding-actually it was right outside our front door (way awkward cause we had to walk our bikes through the wedding to get inside at night) ill attach a pic plus maybe a video.

something ive been thinking a lot about is progress. sometimes i think its easy for us to see where we are right now and feel that its not enough. that maybe we should already be done with school by now, or be getting a certain grade or have a good boyfriend or we should be stronger or kinder or whatever it is. because those are all good things to want, but god never looks at us that way. he sees where we come from, and he sees our potential. if you are better than you were a year ago, celebrate! if you are better than you were yesterday, so awesome! thats the cool thing, loves us no matter what, and celebrates our progress. so keep doing those things that will bring growth, and trust that god is helping you get to where you need to be. 

loves all around!
