Week 48

Good Week.  Miracles.  Cool

 

So this week was super cool. 

Monday- Lots of dinner. we were fed three times. That was our day. Hang family twice, Then Jonathan and Chantha. super cool.

 

Tuesday- District meeting. There are two new missionaries in our district, Elder Schaefer who's a new zl, and Sister Beckwith, who I flew out with from the MTC. Neato. After that we taught Ming Savonn, who is on track to get baptized next week, then Pream, who also is on track to get baptized next week!

 

Wednesday- All day is a blur except our lesson with a less active, Bonath. He said he will go to the visitors center with us, which made me super happy, cause I have been trying to get him to go the temple grounds for something for literally all of the 9 months I've been here.

 

Thursday- Doctors appointments and insane traffic and a lesson with Ming Savonn again.

 

Friday- Weekly planning and Om Dii, we found out he isn't a member so he is going to get baptized in a month.

 

Saturday- Cambodian class. Correlation. The works. We found where Samey went, we also found all her less active family members! Woo! They still don't want to go to church, but we know where they live now, so that's a big step. It was super cool how we found her house, cause we totally had been there before, and we were talking to her trying to guess where she lived and I started to describe that building and she was like "Oh wait that is where I live, how did you do that?" It was super funny, so we went over that day and taught her and told her she needed to repent and come to church. She said she knows haha..

 

Sunday- Literally one of the most frustrating days of my mission, but then Bunthai got up and bore his testimony in sacrament meeting, and against all odds, it was awesome. Then we went to Concord to plan a sick training me and Elder Forsythe are giving for a combined district meeting. We found out President Frandsen is coming to it, so the pressure is on. We got invited to a family home evening there too, it was fun.

Overall, This week I learned a lot about the purpose of a missionary. Literally the only thing that Heavenly Father wants me to do is represent the Savior and invite others to exercise faith unto repentance, make covenants through baptism so he can bless them with the gift of the holy ghost, and teach them how to endure to the end. Now going about doing that takes many forms, and that is the super fun part of being a missionary. Blessings. I love everything I get to be a part of in the cambodian branch. It is really funny to be speaking english and then accidently start speaking Cambodian, I crack up every time. Well thats all. I don't have anything else. Love y'all.

love,

Elder Tolman
