Sister Batiles (Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission)

Susadie KAPAMILYA! Kay tagal kunang hindi nagupdate! Miss you all! Something I've been studying on recently is Truth. There's a saying here in Cambodia that everyone uses if they're not interested. "All religion teaches to be good" meaning they're happy with the life they have now and arent willing to change anything for the better. What they dont know is the gospel just has so much to offer. Truth is such an important factor though, all religion teaches to be good. But Truth has more relevance than just being a good person. Being a good person is good, but for what purpose?

I know I was never there yet but I know I was moving forward, this whole process that is sometimes painful is worth it and always got a bigger reward, I will be able to serve the people of Cambodia well, my leaders, my companions, other missionaries, the people I love, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and better prepare for my future. I am sorry if I make this weird email some of you worry about me, but I am doing great, and I make sure I smile and laugh a lot. You all know me, I cry a lot but I love it shows that I'm still normal. It makes me strengthen my own testimony and I hope I get to strengthen yours too. I love you with all my heart! I wanted to invite you all to remember our Savior, Jesus Christ and think about the things your are grateful for him, and say a little prayer and my promise to you is that He will hear you and you will feel His love. He loves you. I testify that with all my heart. So if you're ever worried about something, don't be...
