អែលឌើរ ម៉ៃឃើល អាតុន (Elder Michael Acton)

 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. Yeah so here's what I got 😁 1.) Love and live like Jesus so there's no doubt you represent Him : I found 11 talks that mentioned this 2.) How important the Temple is in our lives : 10 talks on this 3.) This is a Gospel of Joy : 8 talks 4.) Don't be self centered or prideful/ do it God's way not yours : 9 talks 5.) We have trials for our benefit : 7 talks 6.) We're never lower than ...

 Okay first thank you to all those who sent me emails and little notes on ze bloggg. Super awesome to see:) I am sorry though because this weekly is going to have to be shorterrr sorrryyy. I can only talk about the biggest highlights!!! Wednesday 10-2 Okay this morning I had such a good personal study; I read about the people of Alma and how they were doing so many things righteously. They were good people but bad things kept happening to them again and again and again. They never forgot Heavenly Father though. As I was reading I learned that God gives us trials and hardships so we can prove our faith. Oh how great will be your gift and blessings in heaven if you can stay faithful in the hardest and most difficult times in your mortal life. Y'all should go read that chapter (Mosiah 23: 21-23) soooo gooood. Okay so today we had a pretty big breakfast but then we went to bishop's house and ate some pshum mun food (pshum mun is the second biggest holiday in all of Cambodia where t...
