But I do have a new companion!!!!]
In case you didn't read my last email (which I'm sure a lot of people have stopped reading them... Its fine. I'm fine..) my new comp's name is Sister Um (but you say it like Om) and she is amazing!! She is from the city and we actually serve only 30 mins from her house! It would be like me serving in Nampa! Super Hard! But she is needed in this area! She is 28 years old and loves making food! Her testimony is so powerful. She was actually part of the Baptist church until she started having questions that the church was not able to answer. Her mom was a member and she started taking the lessons and was baptized! And then her sister was baptized and her dad followed! And now her family will all be going to the temple to be sealed for all time and eternity! SO happy for them! When she testifies of how the gospel can help your family it is so powerful. She has experienced first hand how when you understand the Savior and God's love for you, you start to love deeper within your family because you realized that your family can live together for forever. I love teaching that concept to people and allowing them to have the hope that there is more than just this life.
Well I don't have a ton of stories so I'll update you on one of our investigators!
We have a girl named bong Vanarowet (I have no idea who to write that in english) who is married to an American who is a member already! She knows some English which is how they communicate! She knows a lot about the church because of her husband and when they lived in America for five years they found missionaries who knew Khmer that could teach her but sadly the missionary got transferred! They tried with other missionaries but learning the gospel in your own language is hard but to learn about it in your second language is very difficult. Now, they are in Cambodia and waiting for a visa for one of their kids! Sadly, her husband had to go back to America to work while she stays here until they can get a visa! She is so good and so ready! Thanks to her husband, she knows a ton about the gospel and knows all the commandments and has been living them already. We have a date for her baptism next month and I asked her if she had told her husband yet. She said she had and he wants to baptize her but she would have to wait two more months until he has time off. She said that she didn't want to wait any longer to get baptized. "I have been waiting five years to become a member. I don't think I can wait any longer!" She truly is one of the elect God has prepared. I am so happy because they are planning on getting sealed in a year and hopefully they are in America by that point! I hope that if everything works out, I will be able to see them be sealed to each other for time and all eternity!
Okay I have to go! I love you all! Bye bye!! Happy Valentines day!
**When a missionary is done with their mission we call it "dying" and because I was her companion before I "killed her"
