We are up!




 Hello friends and family


The last 2 weeks have been a great experience with 13 good days and 1 hot one. it is an amazing time to be alive in this country of Cambodia. 

I see the rest of my brethren floundering as wet season rages, but as for us in the (relatively) dry battambang, we get to enjoy autumn winds and milder temperatures so thats a great contrast to my adventure here in the peak hot season. 

In the last month we've got a branch president called, and more people coming every week. Yesterday we hit 59 people attending sacrament! A new record, mainly due to a family that is helping people come to church by piling them into meat carts attached to Honda scooters. 
If there is a will there is a way.
Some won't look at the snake on the stick to be healed, and others are willing to drive hours just to come to church every week. They shall have their reward.

Its just super amazing to be with these wonderful people, to hear their stories and be their friends. TomΓ₯h Goal is super lit even though we don't have a car (pretty much the only downside) 

Elder winegar is on his last 9 days so thats sad but it is time. I'm going to miss him 😒 πŸ˜” 

My squad hit 14 months Yesterday so good job fellas πŸ‘ πŸ™Œ

Today for p day I got some Auntie to cut me a pair of Gucci pajamas for 15 buckaroonies so I'm excited for those. Pictures dropping soon on the albumn 

Also I've been improving my barbering skill with all the elders in the house as my practice dolls. πŸͺ†gotta get them all freash for the tri zone conference on thursday . Check the slice n' dice carved onto my Samoan nephew. 


I got an unexpected early Christmas package so thanks for the idaho spuds mom. Big spirit booster of a discovery as my pday was ending.

Love you guys, send me a message this week if you have time I'd like to hear from you!


Sorry this is so long if you made it this far congratulations 🎊 


I'm so excited to eat Idaho spuds tomorrow πŸ˜‹ 
Sincerely,
Elder platt

  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 this

Elder Thuern and I had to jump this gate because we got locked inside the church parking lot  Baptism for Froggie- Panha αž–ីαž‘ីαž”ុណ្αž™αž…្រមុαž…αž‘ឹαž€- 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 πŸ‘! 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
