From mom

 

Elder Platt-
It was so good to read about your first two weeks in the home hotel MTC- sorry again about that I really thought we would have a house to give you a proper sendoff!! And that you would have been able to go through your stuff before your left. I will try to keep your things nice and neat (keep them in boxes) and make sure Brecon doesn’t ruin your favorite stuff! I’m so excited for you! This is the launching point for you- A pivotal moment that will drastically affect who you will become. I know a lot of friends that are taking their kids to college dropping them off is a big step. But there is something so big and special about going on a mission and I’m so proud of you. You are on the Lords errand- so work hard and do your best!

Dad has been telling some pretty funny stories about your red eye flight and how silly you were acting— patting a ladies head and telling her it’s OK. Your secret plans … but you couldn’t tell him about it. Brielle and cannon sure thought that was funny to see you right before they got ready for school— sleeping in the front of the car before going to the Davis’s house. I am a little jealous that you got to spend time with one of our favorite families. I hope you remember their good advice and know that they love and care about you!

Well ever since you got your call the first part of May we’ve been waiting for September to get here so you could start your mission and then here we are you’re off to the Provo MTC for the next seven weeks! Isn’t it funny how time works like that?!? 
What a summer we had traveling - getting here to Hawaii and living out of a suitcase…
Can’t wait to hear back from you!
Love, 
Mom

Ta kmou = tma koul

  I didn't have much time last week so here's a quick summary Exchange with ZL nydigger where I fell in a ditch.  Now he's going AP so it was cool to work with him for a day. Speaking of that transfer boards came out! I left battombang (the westernmost zone) and went to east zone. Specifically I am now serving in ta kmou which means black grandpa so thats cool 😎 .  What's not so cool is when I sent my bike and luggage through the carrier mail service,  the kind front desk lady heard "tma khoul" which is a small town 45 min north of my old area and certainly nowhere close to me. Tha khoul does. Not equal ta khmou Big confuse moment, as they say, but through some miracle I now have my stuff back 2 days later.  Also Im now on bike number 6 because bike number five was just bike number 3 but with new handlebars and the chain still not fixed!! My new comp is elder Hang and he goes home in 5 weeks. He seems pretty chill tho. 😎  I hope to dedicate more time to t...

Elder Thuern and I had to jump this gate because we got locked inside the church parking lot  Baptism for Froggie- Panha ពីទីបុណ្យច្រមុចទឹក- from the diving festival, word of the week means baptism but I thought the Google translate was funny so yeah. Diving festival, speaking of which, my friend Panha, or "froggie" as we like to call him got baptized! Very awesome experience 👏! Haircut- pulled up on a dude who was taking a nap in his barber chair, and had him clean us up. Excellent job, considering I couldn't understand any of his questions about what I wanted done with the hair. All I could really say is "please make me beautifle", sit down in the chair and hope for the best.  But yeah the launguage is coming but the more I learn the farther I realize I have to go. Conversations with native speakers eventually need to get passed on to my native companion. Listening to Americans talk is more hopeful, but I would liken the whole experience of conversational com...

  I got banned from using the word sikaday because I'm to good at using it. Sikaday pretty much turns a verb into a noun which is really usefull, but not in every situation I guess. There's some really good t-shirts here. They make me chuckle  Party till you're homeless TODAY I am 14 I love the music. The music is important Hooters Los Angeles  Prime Minister hun sen invited alot of Christians to a big meeting, so we got to see the CEO of Cambodia give a speech. My good friend elder Haslam hit a sick kick flip on a tec deck before that meeting started so I was very impressed. I have a video, but I can't figure out how to attach it here so you'll have to trust me. Visited a friend's house with a dude we call bong jarom. Jarom is from Utah, but he went on a mission to Cambodia and finished a year or two ago. He then returned to this country, found a wife, and is now living here. He joined this teaching visit of ours and helped out alot. He is very very good at khm...
