Well, The good news is this last week was pretty cool. The bad news is I am probably going to get kicked out of the Cambodian program next week.
Monday was the usual running around, tracting, meet cool black guys with cool insights on God. managed to teach this Old guy we have been working on. He still doesn't like Christ, but it's a step.
Tuesday- Training meeting in Antioch. Reunited with my father for a bit. taught a less active and then went to Preams house, who had some crazy revelation going on in our lesson and said that he felt like God wanted him to prepare to be baptized and that he wanted to know what that meant, so of course we told him, it was so cool. so he is gonna get baptized on the 12th.
Wednesday we taught Saroeuth and went tracting, we found this super sweet place where you can go watch the massive ships come into the docs in alameda while we were eating lunch, it was so cool. We went to lunch with the Van Vliets after that to the famous Barneys burgers. It was delicious, I love it. literally the best hamburger I have ever eaten. Then we went to Soccer night with the Oakland 9th ward! super fun, it was the first time we really got to talk to the members since we only go to one hour of church with them. Then we had correlation.
Thursday we had new missionary follow up training then got asked to go and give a blessing a lady in the Emergency room. It was crazy. there were homeless people and crazy people everywhere outside the hospital, and it smelled like all of them had peed on each other or something. The lady had bad lungs and had a weight disorder and had stopped breathing. It was amazing the faith that her family showed in their heavenly father while we were there. after that we ate dinner and went tracting and found this cool lady name Tyanca and her 8 year old son named adrian, they are super nice and super ready to learn about the Gospel!
Friday was weekly planning for like 5 hours for two areas and then we taught Ming sovann, and we had an awesome lesson on the plan of salvation, and at the end she asked when she was getting baptized, it was awesome. she thought she was getting baptized this sunday, but we told her that she had canceled too many of our appointments and she had to keep learning haha, so now she wants us to come over more!
Saturday nothing really happened except we went to a concert with pream at the visitors center, and it made me miss music a whole bunch, but the spirit was super strong. Neat.
Sunday we had dinner with the Yim family after church and that was pretty much all that happened, except that Elder Ey gave a talk in the Oakland 9th and it was awesome. super fun stuff.
I love being a missionary so much. I don't have a lot of time today, so just remember how much the Lord is focused on guiding us in everything we do. literally everything has his hand in it, and I am recognizing it more and more every day.
