Cambodian Sistaa: Week 50- Kampong Cham for a day, YAY!

Hey Guys!!!!

Congrats to Kaden for Graduating!!!! You're so old! It's weird to think two years ago, I graduated and left with my mom, Kaden, and some friends ( you know who you are <3) to Cambodia for the first time. Little did I know it was preparing me for my mission!! and good job Jessie, Dallin and Carson for finishing the year strong and getting good grades! As Uncle Ryan would say, "You guys Killed it!!"

This will be a short email because Sister Hall only has two more Pday :( so we partying hard these next pdays and cutting down on our email time. But this email is insane. Mom, you will have to take note of this week and remind me tell you more about it when I get home and read you my journal because it was insane.

Speaking of INSANE....

We followed this guy for at least three hours... Who needs AC when you can just chill on top of a car on the highway?

So yesterday was a huge voting day for all the Khmer Missionaries and every Khmer was encouraging to vote. In order for them to vote they have to go back to their home areas. It was super complicated and Sister Hall and I had to arrange all the traveling information. But of course it can't all work out perfectly otherwise it wouldnt be an adventure. We went to take one of the Sisters to the bus station with the Office Elders and they were sold out tickets. So we called President and we were told we were going to drop everything and leave the city and go into the provinces (the more jungle side of Cambodia.) We followed President's orders and drove the mission car with the Office Elders to Kampong Cham. We got to meet the Sister's family, let her vote, and go see some return missionaries that live in Kampong Cham also. One of the missionaries had served in the area before so while we were waiting for sacrament to start we had time to kill and met some members.

This is Sister Chhil and we got to go to her house and meet her family! Notice how my shirt is inside out? We woke up at 5:30 and we had to be at the bus stop by 6:15am. It was a rough morning... hahah

We were driving in the middle of no where and got a flat tire. Thank goodness for the Senior Couple, Elder and Sister Curtis! They saved the day for us when we were stranded in the middle of no where.

We got a flat tire and Elder Ashcroft was a champ and took care of it. That poor white shirt of his...

I also saw my Trainee, Sister Heang! I trained her back in January and due to some family problems back at home, she had to be released. Seeing her was the best! I hope and pray she will have another chance to come back out and serve! Anyways, when I woke up at 5:30 am, I was not expecting a day like this-but I'm always up for an adventure!

SISTER HEANG!!!

We had our recent convert call us today crying with joy because yesterday she was able to keep her first fast ever! She said it was a miracle because everytime she would get hungery she would pray and the hunger would go away! Her faith is so strong. Before I took fasting for granted and didn't really put my whole heart and soul into. My testimony has grown a ton for fasting. I remember the first time I fasted as a missionary and it was the coolest experience. There has been many times on my mission when we would fast for investigators and we would walk into church and there would be a handful of new people who just wanted to stop by and see our church. SO cool. The Lord listens.

Love You All!!
