This was a crazy week.

One of the Tual Sen Ke investigators was five days away from Baptism and he decided he couldn't give up Preah Put. (Buddha) *Sigh* Its ok. 

Cool Chnam (New Year) Is just around the corner. Everyone leaves the city, and we're not really sure what we're going to do...... I think we'll do some group things with the mission? I don't know yet. Its going to be really fun though! The stake is having a huge party in a few days, I"m hoping President will let us go, and hopefully we can bring some investigators!

It rained twice this week! The first time I was safe in my house. I stood on the patio and ate my red curry pulled pork sandwich and watched the rain. It was lovely. The second time we were in the middle of a lesson.... We couldn't hear each other, so we ended up just leaving.... I walked outside for ten seconds and was completely drenched. It was awesome.  We biked home in about four inches of water.... after seven minutes. It was crazy. I'm excited for rainy season. (July)

One of the funniest things is Cambodia is the grandmas. Or "Lookyeys" They love eating rice and IVs. Whenever they get a little cold they put an IV in their arm. I don't even know if it has medicine in it most of the time. Probably just water! Its always entertaining to see three people on a moto, and a little lookyiay on the back holding her little IV that is taller than anything on the road.... They are all very cute.

I fell calf deep into some mud the other night. Cambodia, am I rite?

I went on an exchange with Elder Stringham the other day. He will go home in four weeks to South Jordan. I learned a TON from him! He is super smart, and a really great missionary!

We have an investigator who lives on a boat on the TonleSap. If we don't space the weight out well, the boat will tip. He is a super great investigator though!

I saved up this month and bought peanut butter and nutella this week..... It's almost gone. 

So yummy!

I will send some pictures in a bit!

Love you!

This week was really great! It's pretty crazy how much you learn here every single day. I'm trying my best to learn Khmae and give all the energy I can to that. I learn a lot every single day, and I just try and talk with everyone I can.

We have one investigator who is super close to baptism. He comes to church every Sunday, and he is super great. He is having a hard time letting go of Buddhism, but as soon as he does he's totally ready! I'm super excited for him, he is a great guy! We have a couple other investigators who are super awesome too! They aren't as prepared but we are going to continue to work with them to become ready.

I love it here. It's going to be really hard to be anywhere else after this. The second transfer starts the day after Tomorrow. It's crazy. Time flies. 

I made a lot of food the past couple weeks. Lots of curry. I made curry paste myself the beginning of the week, and made red curry pulled pork. It's ok. It will be better next time. It needs to be spicier. I am currently drying some thai red chile to try again towards the end of next week. I bought a mortar and pestle *two dollars*  Whats up!?? I also just bought a TON of mushrooms for this coming week, I'm going to try and cook with less meat. 

I ate maggots, crickets, frog, dog, big black beetles, brohoque and a lot of other things this week. Elder Orton and I went on an exchange and just kind of went crazy.

I am going to try and find a way to send pictures today. I need to track down an SD card reader. Stay tuned. If not today, I will buy one for next week.  

I promise I have so many good pictures for you! I just don't have time to wait for them to upload and I also have letters for all the kids. I'm so sorry! Things were so crazy today!

I love you so much! I love my family more than anything else in this world. You are my family first and foremost, but it is interesting to watch your family grow as you come to love different people.

It's crazy how much and how fast you change here. 

I did eat some crazy and delicious things this week. I also had really bad diarrhea, (like explosive in bed) hahahahaha or 555555555 (in Thailand)

I am so grateful for how supportive my family is. I can't imagine doing this without you. I love you all so so so darn much! It makes me so happy to remember in twenty one short months I get to hang out with you FOREVER! I love you!

I read the book of Mosiah and the first part of Alma this week, looking for ways to become a better missionary. I love this part of the Book of Mormon. The Almas and the sons of Mosiah and Amulek were such great people. I love you so very much
