SABBAY! SADDAEY!

It was meant to be that life would be a challenge.To suffer some anxiety,some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.We need the Lord's help in all that we do. The Savior cannot and does not work with perfect missionaries. He chooses to work with the "'weak and simple (D&C1:23) As we work on being good & doing good, the savior will help us along the way.I know the blessings come after the trial of our Faith,and does blessings might not come in the way we "'wanted"'or the way we expected.
   Here is a story about Elder Bednar (of the Twelve Apostles) who went and visited a young man you was terminally ill in the hospital, this young man thought for sure Elder Bednar would come and bless him and a miracle would happen. Well when Elder Bednar came he asked the young man "Do you have faith that the Lord can help you become well again?" the man said yes of course. But then, Elder Bednar said, "Do you have faith that the Lord will not heal you, but even so, everything will be alright?". Sometimes we expect Heavenly Father to always give us the exact blessings we ask for. And sometimes he does and sometimes he blesses us in other forms that we don't recognize or expect. It is important for us not to put our faith in what the results will be, but in the fact that we believe Heavenly Father knows what is best for us, and He will always provide a way for us to accomplish what He needs us to do in this life, and He will bless us for following him.
    We had a lot of time this week to proselyte and teach and share with the people and we did service too. This week we had an interesting experience I cried during our lesson.
     "'Everything will workout, put your trust in God and go forward with Faith and Confidence in the future, He will not abandon you. Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley''
but yeah life is good, mangoes are still good, here in Cambodia!!
   
     Hope everyone is having a great week!! See you soon Angkor Wat!
