Hello everyone!!!!!
So the word of the week is Bowy (probably not really spelled
this way but ya) so its Bless you like what we say when someone sneezes and it
is like when you say take a bow but adding a y or double ee sound.. what ever
you want but I say this quite a bit... also Im learning how to pray in
Cambodian and all I know so far is the Dear Heavenly Father part but it is long
and too hard to teach over email...
So yay - Reny and her two kids Leakina and Keven were baptized
on Saturday!!! it was awesome and they were so cute I just love them all so
much!!!! They are great! Actually we had a scare on Wednesday when we were
asking them the baptismal questions to prepare them for the actual ones on
Friday because Leakena and Keven were both gung ho for baptism and
answered all the questions but when we got to Reny she wasn't sure if she
believed in Jesus Christ and in Heavenly Father and so she said that she
needs more time.... so what else could we do at this point but fast so Thursday
Sister Pen and I fasted a lot for her to have a spiritual experience as
she keeps reading and praying and then we called her at about 2 Thursday
and she changed her mind and figured that Sister Pen also grew up believing in
Buddha and was baptized and so why shouldn't she... and she had been feeling
the spirit the whole time from the first lesson.. it's just putting her
faith to the test and so they were all 3 baptized on Saturday.
Her husband, Mon, wasn't able to be there at the baptism which
was sad but when we were asking him about it (and this conversation was in
English so I knew exactly not just what sister Pen told me) and
were like please just come, and he said Sorry I wish I could but maybe
next time and we were like listen there is no next time... this is it and he
was like well maybe I will be next time.... and Sister Pen and I got so excited
and started to freak out... So this next transfer our goal is to baptize
him so they can get sealed in a year!!!!! oh and by the way we had
Transfer calls and will both be staying together so I'm so excited!!!!
Love you all! Sister Beck
PS. We will be having a mission tour next Monday with

My mom got this text this past week from Sister George and the following pictures- "Hi, I'm Sister George. We had a garden party at this sister's home. I love your daughter. She is a delightful missionary. Her and Sister Pen work hard and have several people they fellowship and are gearing up for a baptism Saturday, a sweet Cambodian mother and her two children - Rany, Kevin and Leakala. Now the members need to help retain and nurture. She wanted me to tell you she loves you."
