Obviously Outstanding Week in Battambang

Hello everyone! A great week in Battambang! I love it here. Let's see what has been going on... It's raining a ton here. So weird! April is supposed to be the hottest month of the year and it’s been raining. Maybe rainy season is coming early! I hope so. April is a super excited crazy month! We have conference and Khmer New Year. Khmer New Year is huge in Cambodia. I'm super pumped about. We'll see how missionary work goes. I hope everyone enjoyed conference. We will be watching General Conference this next weekend. I am so excited. Let's see... This was an exciting week for our area. We had two new investigators come to church this week. They are both referrals from members. The members here are so good. If they have a testimony they make sure everyone knows it. They are a diligent and determined people. They inspire me to do better. 

I can't remember what happened this week. Too much good all the time that I can't even think of what to write home. Well this week we had a pretty cool member activity. The Branch council and the Elders and Sisters all piled in the first counselor’s truck. We sat in the back of the truck and we all went proselyting together. We visited a ton of members and tried to encourage them and show our love to them. It was a super cool experience. Our Branch missionary leader is so awesome. In most of my other areas the branch mission leader is less active haha. So we did that for a couple hours and then it poured. Poured so much! And there we were, squished next to the elders quorum president and relief society president in a back of a truck with literally buckets of rain from the sky drenching us. So fun. Then we ate baby duck egg soup to celebrate. Good times. 

I'm still at the beginning of Battambang but I love it. I feel like this area has a lot of potential. There are so many great members here. Not much else to say but I know without a doubt that God's love is real and it's way bigger than any Cambodian rain storm. And I know if we pray to Him and ask Him for His love and then try with all of our heart and might, we can be witnesses of His love. 

Goodbye and write you soon,
