Sour Sdei!!!!!

So this means hello in Cambodian and you pronounce it "soul sue die" really fast!!!

So its been great being with my new companion Sister Pen and you pronounce it like pine but with a b so Bine... she is very hardworking and wont really take no for an answer. so she has been in the Wa-Tac for 3 months but she served in Cambodia for 3 months while waiting for her visa. a lot of the lessons are only in Cambodian and so I just smile and pray for Sister Pen and when I feel prompted I try to testify. So we have been working with Sophan and I guess every time Sister Pen and Sister Lemon would go over to see him he was drunk but when I went over Tuesday he wasn't drunk and we had a great lesson! He decided that losing things like his TV to get money for his drinks weren't worth it so he has been sober for about a week which is great. The Elders also gave him a blessing and he felt so good and wanted to feel it all the time and so I told him that as he prays and reads the Book of Mormon he will feel that spirit and also when he comes to church! he also came to church which is great and loved it and we invited him to be baptized but he said he already has so we are going to teach him about the priesthood authority in more detail.

Yay so Rocio and Alondra were baptized Saturday and they were both just so happy and glowing!!!! Sadly enough I was 45 min late to the baptism due to traffic but was able to at least see their joy after it was over. It was also great to be able to visit with Sister Kramer again.

I'm so thankful for this opportunity to be the lords hands for such a short time my mission has been super quick and before I know it I will be home and that will be weird!!! :) Keep smiling and being a great example to those around you!

Love you all!!!!!
