Hey Everybody!!!!
What a great week it is right? This last week was Dad's birthday. 49 years old, boy is that getting up there! It was Khmer new year this last week too. I have sent some pictures, but I have gotten to the point where I have to many to send.I will now send just the good ones each week and when I return you can all see my adventures.
I have been working really hard lately, and every time I look at the calendar it is 3 days later. Time is flying. Feels like it should be about November of 2010. My good friend, Doug Oman, has now left to Boot Camp for the Army. Good Luck to him. Time is coming up for Hayden Higgins to leave to Omaha Nebraska. Missions are great. If only everyone knew how great they really are, they would all serve.
This last week had some good food. Eel and more squid. Food tastes better every time you eat it.
I want to share an experience this week. We have an investigator who smokes and drinks. We are teaching him and his family. They are amazing and go to church and love reading the scriptures. When we were teaching them about the Atonement he told us that he wants to quit smoking and drinking. What a great time for that to come up. Made for a very spiritual lesson and his family is so willing to help and encourage him everyday. It is a lot easier when they come asking for help instead of telling them that they need help. The Lord has been blessing us greatly with this family. Such great support for them.
As you can tell from the pictures that I have sent I have lost some weight. I continue to work on it. I have already lost enough weight to say I have lost a Cambodian. Now I am going for two.
I love this work and am so blessed to be trusted with this great responsibility from the Lord to teach His children. I am grateful for my great family and friends who support me in this work. I pray for each of you individually. Thank you all so much. I love you all like a fat man loves his cake.
Love,
