Happy Hard-working Week in Kean Svay

Hello everyone! Well this week was really good. We had transfer day this past Wednesday. I said goodbye to a cute Cambodian, Sister Chhel, and said hello to another one, Sister Chin. She is Sister Pace's koon (child, trainee). So we share the same mom #missionaryhumor. She's super cute and awesome. She loves to sing, make food, teach me to make food (hallelujah), do nails and she has so much courage. So what happened this week? Well this is my first time leading out an area. It's so hard to remember where all the houses are but it's been okay. We're plugging along, doing the good work.

So this week was awesome. Super big Hand of God this week for me. Last Sunday I fasted and prayed that we would be able to have investigators, that we could find those that have been prepared for the gospel. And you know what? Six new investigators this week. I'm so excited to start teaching and meeting them. The gospel has power. It's so cool to experience the changing power of the gospel and seeing it in someone else's life too. So I'm super grateful for God's help this week. He knows I'm a wimp and can't do it alone. Also another wimpy, Hand of God moment this week. Sister Chin and I were biking home from one of our investigators houses. And it was dark and the road was super silent and a little scary. We started getting a little uneasy. And in the dark the street looked way different. So both of us said a little prayer in our hearts. And literally like 7 seconds later we see two bikes and two white shirts. Turns out the Elders' house is on that street. So they got to bike us home. What gentlemen. But talk about Hand of God. 

This week we had another fun service activity with Ta Khmau. And what did we do? We moved dirt. And built a house. But it was fun to do service as a zone and to see some of the members in Ta Khmau. 

Sorry this week was just good and normal. I think I'm really starting to love my mission. Also I feel like I say that every week. But there is so much joy in wearing a name tag, biking through grossness, and spreading the joyous news of the gospel. I hope everyone has a greet week. Sorry this email is kind of lame. Cambodia cannot be summed up in an email. Too crazy and too good. Well good luck and have a great week. I’ll be enjoying fresh mangoes that we pick off the trees.

Thank you for the prayers. 

Love always, 

Sister Mortell
