Optimistic about October Opportunities in Kampong Cham

Well I don't know what to say. Don’t have that much time but this week was great! We spent most of it in Phnom Penh. We did exchanges, I got a little sick, swam biked in the good old Phnom Penh rain, and on Thursday and Friday we had Sister's Conference. ALL the sisters in the whole mission gathered together and we watched women’s conference. It was amazing!! And then on Friday we had a question and answer panel with all the Sisters. The senior couple sisters answered the questions. I received a lot of answers and wisdom from them for the mission and after the mission. I also grew a lot of love for them and for the other sisters. I also learned that literally all the sisters in this mission, no matter the age are all so good, so strong and converted to the gospel. This mission is one that is special. I feel honored to be amongst these saints in Cambodia, both missionary and not. This is a sacred place, a place of God's work. I also grew more love for President and Sister Christensen if that could even happen. I have the best mission president. I really do. They have changed my life and I am honored. 

Also at zone conference, President asked me to bear my testimony, even though usually the dying (going home) missionaries do. I thought I was free since I’m dying next zone conference. But, I bore my testimony of my Heavenly Father and it was one of the most spiritual, truth testifying moments of my mission. I know He is my Father and I am His daughter. 

Investigator update. We didn't get to spend much time with them this week because we were in Phnom Penh:

Ming Kumon is still on fire. 

Ming ta and Kuntia are the cutest and my favorite. 

Eng Lay still no church (she comes to all the baptisms) but way awesome. 

Let us be ARTICULATE AND DISTINCTIVE in our discipleship in HAPPY WAYS (Sister Eubank)

Much love to you all, 
Sister Mortell

Funny moment: this Ming bore her testimony yesterday and pulled out her phone and shared with us this random YouTube music video. Luckily the branch president told her to put it away

Gross moment: about 30 minutes ago I found a random fish scale on my elbow

Memorable moment: seeing my old comps, Sister Chhel, Chin, Jennings, Lunsford - super fun!

Sister Christensen--she is my role model and one of my dearest friends.

Love them!
