Fine and Still Alive

June 24, 2016

Cumriabsua Family!

Hello my sweet family. We just have a short time to tell you we're fine and still alive. And I am those things. The MTC is hard and Cambodian is hard but I'm plugging through. There are ups and downs but for just about 28 hours it's been okay. My P Day is Tuesday so I'll email you then. We have two districts of Cambodia language missionaries. So that's fun.  I'm companions with Sister Winters. She's awesome. I've seen so many people I know, it's a huge blessing. Sister Baker is on my floor so she gives me some pep talk. Everyone here says "make it to Sunday" So I'm trying to do that. I love you so so much. There have been so many tender mercies these past two days. And I really feel closer to my Savior. I'm scared, yes, but I know if I work hard, reach outward, get out of my comfort zone it will be okay. Also I love my teacher even though she only speaks in Cambodian. And I'm learning to love Cambodian even though I can only saw a few things. Khnom srclyn bccng. (I love you) I think. Also I hope you saw that picture of our two districts on the Cambodia Families Facebook page. Well I should probably go now. I love you so much. I am surrounded by so many sweet, kind people and I'm excited to continue to learn, grow, and I'm excited to have gym time some time soon haha. Well I love you all!
