por mi madre (happy Chinese new year, normal new year, Christmas, thanksgiving, Halloween, and whatever else i missed.)





 Things might be a little out of order because I've been drafting this for 9 weeks .


Well I got transferred out of tmall khoule! It was a short 2 transfers and i did some really good farm work. Lots of planting seeds, and watering and weeding. I left that area a good field, white and ready to harvest. Elder Willis is my replacement, we seem intertwined by fate, and he's done great work there already. All my aunties and uncles have safely entered into baptismal covenants as of a few weeks agoNow I'm  Back to the city so thats great πŸ‘. 

But whats really cool is I got a new bike 🏍. Finally the story of my garbage bikes has come to a close. After more than a year since my original steed was destroyed in a moto accident, am the proud owner of a cherry red Giant. A silky smooth sensation of a ride. 

There also was a whole mission conference because president Renlund did a mission tourl
We have a new teaching friend named Monica who referred herself to the missionaries after searching for a church for about a year. She's pretty elect, and what's more she seems to have lit the passionate fire for missionary work in a few of our young single adult dudes! I guess she's like a tiktok facebook content creator, and so the boys make sure that our lessons are happening on a tight schedule, and they always share great personal experiences! Wish I could insert a picture but I've reached my google imposed limit, so please just bear with my words for the rest of this email.

I've just been having lots for fun with Elder Flores, who, by the mission slang is my daughter ( as I am the second parent right after his trainer/father). Sorry if that's a little confusing. Alarmingly, this is my last week with him since transfers are coming up 

My  petite lil' Flores, boasting a whopping 47 kg, is surprisingly deft and agile, both mentally and physically. Certainly not one to be underestimated, in chess, a spiritual lesson, or ball sports. So last week I performed a "real nasty cross up" during a pday basketball game. Shamefully I missed the lay up, and he got sprained ankle. So nowadays as I watch him hobble** around it gives me deja vu back to my training period when I got T-boned by a speeding moto . Good ol days haha!
Time sure flies, my hobbling days were over 14 months ago by now. In fact, a sister from my mtc group is actually home already to start the winter semester of higher education, presumably BYU provo. 
 "fourth quarter its time to step on the gas" as they say so that's what we will be doing. 
Godspeed.

**he's actually on a speedy path to full recovery don't worry

Yesterday had a wonderful baptismal service for srey pich, isu, isa, ming si sopha, and b dara (photo attached)

Transfer review

Image
The elite group  Baptism day It's been a crazy transfer so I thought I'd drop an email to appease the mothers out there.  At some point I entered a trio with e. Ellingson from my mtc group. We worked alot and saw alot of cool miracles. Then boom as fast as it started it was over.  Back to just two. But yeah we put in some good work, dropped a couple 10 bombs for sacrament, and last Sunday my friend monoe got baptized. I'm super grateful to have had the opportunity to teach him. His desire to learn made me want to be a more diligent student of the gospel, his attitude was always so happy 😊.  After his baptism he bore a sweet sweet testimony and his wife told me that in 17 years of being married she's seen him cry twice. Once when he "did her wrong" and the second when he was standing there, hair still wet, just telling the small congregation why he knew Jesus Christ's gospel was the best thing for him and how it will help his family. If there's somethi

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 this

  Firstly, greetings to brother, younger brother uncles, aunts, grandma's, grampas, everybody all togetherπŸ™ I had a week that is truly amazing. I went advertising in many places ! In houses, park, and so forth.  This area has leadership and ward missionaries that are handsome and diligent truely. On the trueday,  we went out with a youth named tung. He had a day off from school so we advertised and taught with him from 11  morning to 6  evening. I love tong and appreciate his willingness to serve Also we exchanged companions and I got to go with the ZL that is a beloved of mine.  Elder ellingson makes me a better person and I was so happy to finally be in the same area as him for the first time since good old mtc days Sorry for my khmer Grammered english I'll stop now.   I am currently trying for the world record most consecutive days with primarily instant Ramen eaten. My body is receiving the consequences gracefully.   αž”ាαž“αž”ំαž•្αž‘ុះαž”αž“្αž‘αž”់αž‘ឹαž€ iykyk Maybe I should stop, but it
