អែលឌើរ ម៉ៃឃើល អាតុន (Elder Michael Acton)

 Okay so sorry this is a week later but oh well I was like super super busy. Sunday 10/27 Was a great day and we visited lots of members so they can get to know Elder Caoile. Not a lot of people there though because of the 30 year anniversary of the Church being in Cambodia so everyone was in Phnom Penh for the celebration. So it was a little sad. Monday 10/28 We played volley for like 5 hours so that was awesome. I could play all day haha. But everyone else gets tired and lazy after a while and no one wants to play spike ball. It's really sad cause we only get one pday a week and they all just want to sit around. So lame Tuesday 10/29 We had district council and then were super productive and visited a ton of people. Super fun too. Wednesday 10/30 So I personally love the days where we start it off with a service project. It was super hot cause we were gathering and then burning a bunch of brush. Barely looked like we did anything but he was so thankful and we are coming back next

I ran out of time to write about this week cause today was super busy AND we are moving to a new apartment so we had to start packing.  Here are some pictures and videos to highlight some of what I've been up to this past week.  I'll try to give a better update next week.

 Okay I think I did a little better at journaling this week. Tuesday We had our service project today which was so awesome! Hahaha it was kinda last minute but I was determined to help this poor family out. For crying out loud they have a swimming pool under their bed because of the flooding. Anyway so I was a little bold and just bought pipe and hoped it was long enough and bought a mesh grate to block any big icky wickies from clogging it in the future. And then we went and ordered a cubic meter of gravel and had it shipped to her house. Then we started digging and laid the pipe down, then covered it in gravel then put gravel around the very muddy parts so now it looks very nice. . . but I don't have the after pics I forgot sorry, haha. Anyway such a solid day. Oh and earlier today some little Cambodian kids that I played with earlier came and said "Hi" and I bought them lunch cause when I asked if they were hungry they shyly said trying to be polite "yeah little b

 So sorry this is another not so good journaling week hahaha. It's just so hard to find time at night when you get home at 8:30 and you still have to call referrals, record the day, cook and eat dinner, shower, journal and then try to be in bed sleeping before 10:00. So usually I just don't have time to journal which is unfortunate. There is some sad stories that'll go at the end of this email, imma need y'alls help! I'll put it at the end so you have to read everything, or you can just skip to the second to last paragraph if you want. But first let me tell you about our fun this week, haha. So we had clean checks like Wednesday and (sensitivity alert!!! Might be TMI for some parties) so now that I've put that warning in there I'm free to share EVERYTHING😀hahahaha so one of the Elders clogged our toilet the morning before clean checks (I didn't know it was clogged till the morning of clean checks😅) Anyway idk how he managed to clog it because we don

Well this week was super busy and I actually had no time to journal so sorry y'all you don't get the day by day play this time. Don't worry though I'll still say some stuffff. First off let's talk about General Conference!!! Sooo gooood! I don't know if it's just because I'm on my mission and I had hyper focus on it or if it was just so amazing this time. Either way if you haven't, give it a listen. . . do it like nowww, soooo good. I found like 8 major themes that kept being repeated and so I'll share them with you and how many talks mentioned it.
