Weak Flesh

Image
 This last week can be summed up with the phrase found in Matthew 26:41 ; "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." On Monday, I was feeling overly tired so we had more of a chill p-day. That evening I had a temperature of 102 and went to bed. When I woke up Tuesday morning I still had a temperature of 100 but I tried to push through and went to District Council. I felt pretty crappy. Afterwards, I came back home and checked my temperature later and it was 103. We just stayed home for the rest of the evening. Wednesday I woke up and was filling all right but still had a fever so I went to the hospital to get checked out. They did some blood work but weren't able to find out why I was having a fever and sent me back home. We went back to the apartment so I could rest for a bit and then we visited some people that are on date for baptism next week, the 28th.  Anyway, after that we came home and I was feeling but still had a fever of 101. That night I had the co...

Python Squeeze

 Monday we had a good day we went to the pasaa, called our families and then went and played badminton. We stopped early and brought our proselyting clothes, there's actually showers at badminto so we showered there and then changed into our proselyting clothes. We went and did some service for Bong Sokunthaea, he's a really cool guy. He is a return missionary but his wife is not a member so we go and do service for them and pack rice and they are always so happy. After that we didn't get to a lesson with a kid we are teaching who is on date for baptism next week but we went straight to Bourong's house, he wasn't there but his wife was, she is already a member, and we taught her daughter, rany. She is a really good learner, it seems like she really wants to learn and get baptized. And we also taught her younger half sister, roth. It was really good. We put them on date to get baptized as well. So right now we have 3 people scheduled to get baptized on Sunday, the 28...

From Low to High

Image
 Hey guys super quick update for this week. I am doing just awesome right now. I was in a little bit of a low once I was transferred out of Sinoukville but now I'm in a super high. I'm training an awesome trainee right now and we are super busy and miracles are happening. It's easy to fill our days up and both of us just want to work hard. . . and eat good food 😆 My days are packed full with lessons, service, and just preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We've also been running with one of our teaching friend every single morning, so I'm getting a lot of running in. We're trying to help him stop drinking beer so he can get baptized. And then maybe we can start teaching his wife too, that would just be awesome!! I really hope it is a help for him and he can be baptized. We have also been teaching a part-member family with a special needs daughter. We are really trying to work hard to help unite part-member families by loving people and serving them little by li...

I'M A DAD OF TWO

Image
 Well ladies and gentlemen, I am a dad, again, but this time with a white child and not a Khmer one haha. And this time I know Khmer and my child doesn't😆which is the usual for training haha. My first trainee was just Khmer so ofc he already knew the language. Anyway, so my son's name is Elder Adams and low key he's lit! He's super book smart and he knows the language super well already to be honest. He'll say words that like I just learned a couple months ago and I've been put here a whole year. But as usual he's having a really hard time understanding what they say. The classic "Elder, what language are they speaking?" 😆🤣 Anyway, it's fun, I love being a dad. Also, we have just been crazy busy! I finally baked the rest of my 13 pounds of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies last Monday so this whole week we spent lots of time giving them out to other people. I told myself I'd only eat 1 or 2 and the rest would be for members, but I think a c...

Busy/Not

 Hey guys, super quick just wanna say I love you!!!!   This week I was super busy but also not a ton happened, lol, other than service in a lotus field, which was epic! I wielded a sickle for 4 hours cutting them down. I also had exchanges which was a blast and probably some more things happened too but too busy today to write them. In the morning this P-day I made 6 kilos of pumpkin cookies so like 13ish pounds of cookie dough😆and then we made spaghetti tonight as well. Cause you know it's the last P-day of the transfer! All good things, all good things.  Also, problems include I got hit by a moto going really fast but don't worry y'alls prayers are working and all I got was a small scrape on my ankle. Also, my right foot is all swollen from some mystery bug bites. And my back was like so broken for two days following that service project cause I was bent over the whole time I was working. Anyways, I love you and sorry the service pictures aren't on yet, they took ...
