Susadei! Greetings from Cambodia!
   Another week in paradise flew by! I have now been serving as a sister missionary for 9 months 11 days! Can you 
believe it!!? (Because I will be serving nearly 19 months due to transfers, my half way point was Saturday! That's 
insane!) Cambodia truly has my heart! I love serving here!
   I got my new companion last week and she's (drumroll please) Sister Lavilles! My second Filipina companion. She 
is from the island called Bacolod. Shes been here in the mission for 4 months, and shes killin it she speak good 
khmer already, shes been a member for a long time ago but she decided to go on mission after she work for 2 yrs, 
shes a pharmacist and no one knows it just only meπŸ˜‰
   This week is a regular week for me except that it is very hot and sunny every morning and heavy rain in the 
afternoon. Most of the people get sick and almost all of the people we visit (either investigators or members) is sick. 
Which ends up my companion got sick for 2 days also. Not so bad it was just colds and shes way better now. 
Vitamin C on the way!
    We wanted our investigators amd the youth to have deeper love for the Book of Mormon and for this week me 
and my companion shared to them the Book of Mormon Reading chart. Just a little thing to make them more excited 
and motivated to read the BOM. One of our RC her name is ណាαž“ូ read 6 chapters in a day and shes just only 10 
years and we ask her what motivates to you to read the BOM?and she answered the PRICE sister!, true though we 
promise that they will get a price (napasubok pa kami tuloyπŸ˜…πŸ˜‚) okay lets celebrate πŸ₯³
Pioneer Day!
    As Cambodian members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they love to celebrate Pioneer Day
(this holiday celebrates the day Brigham Young entered the Salt Lake with the first settlers...the pioneers!) It is a
huge deal. The members invite the entire community to this grand eight hour event! They presented a play about
Joseph Smith and the story of his persecution; they decorated the event as if it was a wedding...so amazing! The
members also learned a traditional square dance. It was a fantastic event! The Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission is
only 25 years old. Buddhism is the common religion, so Christianity is fairly new. My heart literally swells with love
for these wonderful members. THEY ARE PIONEERS in their country! 
     Heartaches from bikes! 9am and ready to go and proselyte but my bike is flat tire! Adversary is real. 
    Anyways, love you all! Missionary Work is the Lord's work. So doubt not, fear not.  See you soon.
Love,
Sister αž”ាαž’ិαž›េស❤

So this week seemed so normal, we eat, sleep, work work until its time to go work again, but yesterday we had a happy day because we teach a new investigator and we teach a less active member that  lived in Japan I'm actually nervous because maybe she cant understand my khmer but honestly shes so nice she even say kumusta ka? we share her the importance of going to the church every sunday and i really felt the spirit touch her heart cause shes about to cry, and was like wohooo i believe that the spirit is everywhere even though we just talk in Skype only.    Bong Vee shes the daughter in law of Ohm Ohn we used to talk her every time we visit to their house, but unfortunately Ohm Ohn died last last week and after a week we never see her again but yesterday was a miracle she attended the church im so happy!! cause instead of saying her name i say Ohm Ohn!2x shes her! and my companion and other members ohhh sister shes already dead,no shes her! i mean the daughter in law ...
