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? They need Truth! Truth in the Plan Heavenly Father has given us, Truth in saving Ordinances, Truth in the True church. Knowing Truth changes good people to better people, especially through knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Once Truth is applied, they themselves know what they really need to do to be an even better person. Best of all, doing these things gives God the opportunity to pour his blessings upon us. I hope this kinda makes sense to you.Haha 
  And its SEPTEMBER! ITS CHRISTMAS TIME ALREADY!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! so weird to everyone everytime I greet them..And speaking of, had the chance to decorate our study room a bit. Christmas is a season of gift giving and I just love Christmas
   In my mission, I received so much gift. The opportunity to see people as God sees them. The chance to bear witness of God's grace and mercy 24/7. The chance to feel the Spirit strongly more than ever. The chance to strengthen my testimony and faith.
   This week, I got to understand more clearly the meaning of "forget yourself and go to work". Indeed the cure to sadness, fear, doubts and almost anything is WORK. Service the best gift we can give to others and the best way we can show that we love God..Mosiah 2:17
    Two things that makes my day complete for this week is that I eat ROTI an Indian food and  the STARS at night!
     When you miss me, just look at the moon. We might be far away from each other this Christmas but all of you are always in my heart❤🌃🌄

HAPPY 11th month SELF. Congrats nakaya mo!😊

Love,
Sister Batiles🇰🇭





Enjoy my pics!

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 ...
