Don't have much
time! But Hello! Hope everyone had a great week!
It was a great week
in KC! So I can't remember if I told you all about it but last Sunday this lady
came to church. She is the younger sister of the old District President in KC.
And she came up to us, introduced herself and said, "I want to learn and
join your church." Her name is Ming Kumon. Come to find out her house is
way far, hour and 15 minute bike ride, but one of the most beautiful bike rides
ever and she has already become one of my favorite people. She is so excited to
learn. She prays every day and has started to read the Book of Mormon. She
said, "I already know it’s true, but I will ask God too." She is one
of the most prepared people I've met. So I’m looking forward to teaching her
and helping her repent and be converted to the gospel.
Our other
investigators, Ming Ta and Kuntia, are super great! They are also some of my
favorite people. Ming Ta doesn't know how to read so our recent convert, Tela,
walks with us to their house and helps us teach. Tela is probably one of my
best friends in KC. She is so precious and I love her.
Eng Lay is our other
investigator. She loves learning and loves the missionaries. She has such a
desire to be baptized and to learn about the gospel. She has come to all
baptisms these past three weeks but not church, so we will try and try again to
help her come to church.
Bong Kom is making
somewhat progress. She is the mom of Sokcia, Soka and Camraun. She loves to
come to church but she has an alcohol problem. Her husband died about 7 months
ago, she has three kids, very, very poor, can't read and has to work to provide
for her kids. Sokcia is 13ish years old and makes all the food, cleans, takes
care of the other two kids. Bong Kom works at this construction place where she
carries big bags of sand all day. So she is so so tired and exhausted. She said
that the alcohol helps her forget her husband, helps the pain go away and helps
her body not be so achy. She has a very very hard life. I know Christ can heal
her I just don't know how we can help her know that. So we will continue on
trying.
Things are great
here in KC. We are having a good time. And looking forward to a weird week with
Khmer holidays but oh well. The gospel is the best. Life is good.
Love always,
Sister Mortell
