Hello!
This week has been filled with so many humbling experiences and as well as preparation work to help the new missionaries ease into their service for the Lord here in Cambodia. There will be some more trainings this upcoming week for them. Hah, there were so many of them, but all got here safe and sound!
I think one of the humbling experiences I had occurred during one night from last week when we, hah got lost again, while trying to find a potential investigator's house. It was very dark and the areas in Stueng Meachey are some of the most poorest areas in the whole country. Well, we went around the little alley ways, but still could not find the roads that would lead to the family's house. Miraculously, my companion ( hah she is so cute) almost biked into a lady, hah oops and right away she called us, "Sisters", hah we then knew she was a member from one of the wards we are serving in. She knew the roads specifically and led us there. A few miles from getting to their house, we saw a man standing by the gate (who referred us to the pot. investigator) to the trash mountain waiting to greet us and to walk to the destined spot together. The way there looked a little wild. We were literally walking on mountains of trash and piles of trash and unidentified stuff was burning all around. It looked like the whole place was a battlefield. The interesting thing is that many people live on this mountain and have been pretty acclimated to the environment. Many of the children in the areas are being raised by organizations in the help of providing them better futures and lives of their own. It is truly inspiring to see children in this area receiving sufficient education. Another humbling experience of mine was when seeing our investigators, a family of four ( who live pretty far off from church) using one small Japanese brand bike as a a source of transportation to church. The amazing thing is that the mother just gave birth to her little infant and they were able to fit four people on a bike while biking in the hot humid Cambodian climate! The father of the family is so amazing! Ahh it amazes me the influence that Christ has in their lives. The greatest way to know of Heavenly Father's love for me, truly is through the example of His Son, Jesus Christ and His mission in the lives of all of us around the world. It is truly through sending His Son here on this earth to know our divine identity.Truly, this is the work of God.
With Much Love and Gratitude,
