X-tra Prayers in Ta Khmau


Hello Soosday!

So another week of being a missionary!! Wooh hoo! I can't believe I’ve almost been gone for six months! Crazy! Let's see what happened this week... let me tell you I am so pumped about Christmas. Christmas music all the time and we've been teaching about Christ's birth every chance we get. So so fun. It's actually so fantastic to be in a country where Christmas isn't a thing. No one except for church members celebrate Christmas. This is the first Christmas season where I've really just been excited about the true meaning of Christmas. The Savior!! His Birth. His Life. His Love! It's so awesome. I have felt so close to Him. And we all can too. 

We have pretty awesome new investigators. Last Sunday I saw this neakming (woman) who I swear I knew. I thought "in Steung Mean Chey" or "did we contact her?" Finally I figured out that she had come to English class! Anyways she came again to church this Sunday. I sat by her and she said, "I want to join." How awesome is that.  She found it through a simple little English class flyer. Anyways I'm excited for her. This Sunday we had six of our investigators come to church! So awesome! 

I just want to tell everyone right now reading this email that Heavenly Father answers prayers! This week was pretty hard for me. It’s easy to feel alone, stressed, not good enough. So I decided to pray and tell my Heavenly Father all my feelings. Those were some of the most sincere, heartfelt prayers I have ever offered. He is our Father. We are His children. He is proud of us. He sees in us potential that we cannot. He wants to hear our voice. And He loves us. So pray to your Father in Heaven! I promise He will listen, give you an answer, help and extra! So happy week this week!

Happy Holidays! Enjoy the snow, I will be sweating. 

Much love and luck and prayers, 
Sister Mortell
Beautiful Bakou with an even more beautiful little Sister Mortell ;)
