Keep the Prayers Coming!!

Image
 okay whhhats up my beautiful family and friends, I hope you are all doing so very well. This week was pretty busy with all kinds of stuff. Monday We played basketball, which was neat and we played well enough that a Chinese person wanted to have us play their team lol. Also, that night my comp, who is barely a week in went with another Elder who is barely two weeks in to go teach a lesson by themselves while the other ZL and STL's planned zone conference with me. We treated ourselves to some Little Caesar's pizza, which was super yummy as always. (my opinion, Little Caesar's is way better here than in the states). Anyway lit night cause we had 10 Elders in a two bedroom, one kitchen and three bathroom house. It was packed, haha. Tuesday Zone Conference was great, stressful but great. I enjoyed everyone's remarks and for myself I thought I could've done a lot better at tying thins together but afterwards a senior sister missionary told me I did such a wonderful job ...

My Kon Has Arrived

 Okay, wassupp family and friends! I hope you all are doing as well as I am doing, because man life is good. Don't get me wrong, the law of opposition is just as strong, as you could see with the coconut experience, and then just today with me spraining my ankle a tiny bit during basketball. I don't know if it's satan trying to get me unfocused from the work, or the Lord giving me little trials to remind me that one, I'm mortal and two, to learn patience. Either way the Lord can make all unfortunate experiences into growing opportunities if we let Him. So, when those things happen I'm trying really hard not to complain but to rather look at the situation and learn, lol. Okay so things were pretty neat Tuesday and Wednesday being in a trio with Elder Say and Elder Adams in part of my area from last transfer. It was fun, Elder Say likes to have a good time so there was lots of laughter on the way. Wednesday night though is when the AP's picked me up and us three w...

A Miracle and Splitting Pouchentong

Image
I ran out of time today so this will just be a quick little update. Tuesday was kind of normal, that's our planning day because we usually go and teach lessons in the evenings on Monday. Most other missionaries here do their planning on Monday evenings but I don't like wasting night time because it is such a busy time for lessons, so we plan during the day on Tuesday when it's more of the open free time. Also Tuesday there was a party where a lot of our ward members went to the Kom buc sao, but we weren't allowed to go as missionaries so we had a little dinner party with those who weren't able to go either. It was just like 5 people; a family and then one of our other teaching friends. We sang some songs with them after dinner. Wednesday I did an exchange with Elder Madrid, who is our District Leader, in Kam Boul and that was fun, it was really good. We cooked some food at a member's house who is inactive whose husband is like 40 years older than her so that is ...

A Different Kind of Halloween

Image
 Heyyooo everyone, hope y'all had an awesome Halloween!!! It's super interesting being on this side of the world for those type of holidays cause they hardly exist. . .so idk if its better or worse😆cause I don't get a ton of FOMO because I just forget about it😅but then I don't celebrate it a ton so it's just different I guess. They've got their own holidays and the one goin on right now is, um, "tuk." I don't know if I spelt that romanization right or not but basically it's like a "boys in the boat" holiday, haha. But with like 50+ people in one boat. If you want to see that you can go to my blog post from a year ago cause I was in Battambang and they do it on the river that we crossed every day so I got to see it which was super fun. Anyway, this week was a blast other than me getting a cold again. But no worries, the work goes on haha. We did lots of service like always. Also this Wednesday is when we learn if we're going to b...

Steadfast and Immovable

Image
 Heyyyoooo this week don't got a lot other than great news!!!!  I love my mission haha! It's amazing and I was so happy these last two weeks because we finally have time to work in our area without distractions, other than my bike being super silly and having a bunch of problems. So that's annoying but other than that it was great, oh and me cutting a coconut successfully but unsuccessful in the drinking part. You'll have to watch the video to know why. Satan is really trying to make me negative and quick to frustrating and it is a challenge but. . . I've got Christ on my side and I'm doing my best to turn every negative situation into at least a teaching moment, so I can learn. Also been having lots of opportunities to sacrifice what I want to do and in return do what the Lord wants me to do. Not much for this week cause I ran out time🙃but know that God loves you and always will listen to you when you pray. Elder Acton Oh. . . one more thing. We had Stake Conf...
