Unifying Families

Image
 This week was such a busy one!!! I've had like no time to even think about anything other than missionary work. We've done service for the last two or three weeks almost everyday and we do it for at least one or two as well. Hahaha so many experiences! I've learned that bamboo is one of the hardest things to cut and that the honey from honey comb is so much tastier than the bee larva. Hahaha You'll have to check out all the videos and pictures for my details on all of that stuff because today I want to focus on what we taught and learned in Zone Conference. I'm in an area that is called Battambang and it's doing really well! It's technically like a region because I"m still like a 45 minute drive away from Battambang but anyway, there are three branches and one of them has like 180 members coming to church pretty consistently and the other two I'm pretty sure are over 100 as well. We, here in Thma Koul, are sitting around 75 people pretty consistent...

Getting into the Groove

Image
 okay fellas, these last two weeks have been a grind. I'm, getting into the Thma Koul groove though so that's good. Lots of biking, service, and lessons too. There's a lot of member work that needs to be done here which is a little different than the last two areas I've been in. Which, accumulatively, has been like 10 months. Sihanoukville needed member work but the part of the town I was in only had like 1 or 2 and the other area had all the others (like 8 max). Then in Pochentong the members for the most part were just super hype so we were able to just focus on our nekreans(teaching friends), but here it's different. Which is difficult because it's harder to see your progress when working with inactive or even active members. But we will continue to press onward!!! This last week we saw some pretty cool miracles, especially on one day that my comp was super sick and I had diarrhea (I got very acquainted with the toiletless squatty that Khmers use (used it 10 ...

Service and Trusting in God's Plan

Image
 okay this week was great! This area is still a very hard one but we're starting to figure it out and maybe getting into the rhythm. I'm not going to do it by day this week because I did a bad job at remembering, lol But anyways I think every single day this week we did some kind of service for someone. We helped pack plastic bottles for recycling (very dirty) and then sewed up the big bags as well. Then we lifted this super heavy machine they use for irrigation; they pump up from a near swamp. Then we did a bunch of putting husked rice in bags that end up being 225 lbs where we then lifted and put into a pile that reached over our heads, haha. There was this ripped lok pu (40ish year old dude) who was grabbing the bags with me and we were tossing them up onto this pile. so we did that one day for like 3 hours then ate lunch then biked 17-20 kilometers to a teaching friend's house and then did 2 ish hours of the same thing haha. And then biked super fast home another 20ish ...
