So this was a good week. And I'm going to
start off with the best news off all....TRANSFER CALLS!!! I will be
staying with Sister Mok in Tuk Tlaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A transfer
where nothing is changing! I'm so excited! And sister Kacher is staying
in the same house too! We are so excited!!
Something that has been really awesome about these
last few weeks with this trio is that I feel like we are a lot more
bold, and I LOVE IT! I don't know why that is but maybe it's just the
combination. But it's the best!
So you know, sometimes leeches slither around my bathroom.
We
were visiting this less-active ming and after we'd taught her a lesson
and were getting to go, she was like "hey do you want some coffee"...
haha, uh. We all were probably really awkward. And then her daughter was
like "Mom, that's against the rules!" It was pretty funny. We told her
we would review the WoW next time.
We actually work with a lot of less-active members,
and I love it. There is this one lady, her name is Om Fran. She is
actually in Pochentong branch. Well she just randomly showed up to
church, and Sister Kacher had never seen her come. So we went over
there, and she is awesome! She has been a member since 1996. She used to
come always, and then a while ago she got really really sick and
couldn't go to church, and no one went to visit her, including
missionaries or members, for 2 years! So she obviously felt kinda not
good about that. Well we don't know what made her came back, but she's
back. And she is hilarious! We've gone and taught her twice and she is
so funny. She remembers a lot, but we didn't know that. We were teaching
her and asking her questions, and then she started asking us a lot of
questions, but she remembered A LOT. And then after the lesson she was
like, "I really remember all of that, I was just mocking you!" Hahahha!
So funny. She wasn't really mocking us, but she was just making us teach
her probably just because she wanted someone to teach her. It was out
of love. So she is super cool. I love her! I love these people!
Another awesome experience is with our investigator
Ming Savvy. She just fell from heaven. She actually really did just walk
into church one day wanting to learn. And she's been coming ever since.
Well we were teaching her about tithing and fast offerings. And we
taught her and it was good, and then she was just like "I get it.
Heavenly Father doesn't want my money. He just wants to see my faith."
Yes, yes, you are right. She, needless to say, is awesome! Sometimes
there are just really neat experiences on your mission.
Here is another neat experience. So my whole mission I've said that I just want to teach in a big mansion house here just
once. Just once. Well, the other day a member in Pochentong was like,
"Hey I want you to meet someone, I want them to learn and I want to
introduce you." Their house was actually in Tuk Tlaa so we just went
right on over there. Well, let me tell you where there was. It
was a MANSION!!!!!!!!!!!! My jaw was dropped like the whole time. It was
crazy. They were so nice and so cool, but not quite ready to learn yet,
but we shared a short lesson with them. That was like literally going
to a different world for a few minutes. Crazy!
The other day we were teaching another Less-active
and her semi-active daughter, and we decided to read a story in 1st
Nephi about Faith. Well we were reviewing, "Okay, who is Lehi?" And they
were like, "a prophet!" And then we were like okay what else? "A child
of God!!" Haha, yep you're right. We just gave up there. It was so funny.
These people kill me.
We went on exchanges this week again. Sister Mok
went to Tuulsinkai and Sister Ashcraft came with me and sister Kacher.
It was really fun! Kacher and Ashcraft were actually MTC companions, so
that was kinda fun!
Something else I'm totally into these days is
hypothetical questions. I can't tell you how many things sister Kacher
and I have discussed these past weeks. We love hypotheticals. So fun.
The one down side is that Cambodians don't really get hypothetical
thinking, so Sister Mok doesn't have as fun discussing, but we've been
teaching her the ways. There has been much improvement.
Well I guess that's it! I love you all!
Get ready for a ton of pictures!!
