The MTC Era Episode 4 - Monday, February 16, 2015

ជំរាបសួរ  to everyone I get to contact on my 4th P-day in the Provo MTC!,
    I was having a spectacular 4th week while I spent so much time in the Provo MTC learning to preach the Gospel in the Khmer language! (Last 2 weeks on Sunday in the 8th I heard from the Director of International MTCs named Kelly Mills!) Last Tuesday Night Devotional I get to hear from another Area 70 General Authority named Larry Y. Wilson! He made a seriously great talk about The Book of Mormon and importance of reading it with investigators! OH yeah!, THIS IS MOST FANTASTIC WEEK I EVER EXPERIENCE DISREGARDING THE NEGATIVES!!! How's that so? Well, I had a super huge surprise by my entire zone shouting a Happy Birthday song to me!!! I had soooo much stuff from nationwide sending me presents! I received so much stuff! God bless each of you who sent me mails and packages throughout my birthday week! 

    My 19th Birthday is definitely the most memorable birthday I enjoyed ever in my life! I am so happy from the love I received! I hoped you all had a decent Valentines Day while I am in the MTC! Yesterday, I heard a talk from another Area 70 General Authority named Stephen B. Allen (actually 2nd time I heard from him!) , he's also known as the Managing Director of the Missionary Dept., he made a seriously great talk as well and presented the LDS Church commercials he directed, I even saw the one that's made since 1978! He relates his talk from the commercials he made for the Church concerning good companionship and why it's truly important for all missionaries to be obedient and cooperative to God,other leaderships, and companions! I love attending the Provo Temple every weekend especially on P-days! I love doing the Lord's work in the Provo Temple! Me and my companion are very cooperative to each other, we're such good brothers!

    I bare a humble testimony that it's truly the gift of tongues from Holy Spirit is what truly helps me speak and understand the Khmer language! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is true! Plus, with God all things are possible (faith is required)! The Book of Mormon is another scripture and word of God that goes along with the Holy Bible! Jesus is the Christ! He did the atonement to have all of our sins forgiven and that we can all be resurrected to return to him someday! I am never ashamed of the gospel! I am halfway done from training in the MTC and remaining steadfast! 

P.S. I love you all so much! God bless each and everyone of you who's reading this! I'm always learning new stuff everyday in the MTC! Please keep me in your prayers! 
Cumriablលា!,

The MTC Era Episode 3 - Monday, February 9, 2015

Cumriabsua everyone I get to contact on my 2nd P-day in the Provo MTC!,


I am having a very decent 2nd week of my time in the Provo MTC. I have actually trained to Preach the Gospel in the Khmer language for 1 and a half weeks so! To give details I get to hear a Area 70 General Authority last Tuesday his name is Larry S. Kacher, he made an awesome talk as he's portrayed that he is a convert of the church! Plus, I attended two more huge missionary meetings such as the Missionary Conference and the Sunday devotional yesterday! I started to learn the consonant scripts during the 2nd week which is kinda tough to memorize. Last week me and my companion had a demo-investigator named Bong Poarn "moved" to Thailand, from a video response to all of us missionary even though we're teach a demo-investigator he's very grateful from our invitation for him to come to Christ and knows how to have a closer relationship to God. Now, we're having two more new demo-investigators to preach the Gospel to in the Khmer language. I know that it's going to be tough, but with the Holy Spirit of God and the gifts of tongues is what makes me and companion preaching the gospel in our mission language possible! We attend the Provo Temple twice more. It's one of the most sacred place I love attending in my life! :) Yesterday, also I got to watch a Japanese dubbed movie of "Legacy" yesterday. It's was fun and interesting. I was dumbfound of what everyone is saying in the movie, however it's a good thing I studied the Doctrine and Covenants remember church history! I am having a blast with Elder Hall and we're still pressing forward with faith!

The MTC Era Episode 1 - Monday Jan 26, 2015

Cumriabsua! To everybody who I have a chance to contact at this time of P-day!,

 I am having a very wonderful time in the Provo MTC! However, in the first day in the 21st I was terrified for a bit after I got dropped-off by the Hansen's. Because when I entered in the class the Lookkruus or the teachers spoke pure Khmer as my mission language to me. I tried to give all I got when they're speaking in the Khmer language as I am introduced to them when I know very little of the language but turns out that they need to speak the language and use gestures to tell me and other missionaries on what to do. Later on I got along with the Lookkruss just fine and I really loved them my Lookkruss are named Sorenson and Garlick!  

My companion who I am spending a lot of time with into the MTC is Elder Wyatt Hall! He's awesome and cooperative. All of us missionaries in the mission class get along VERY well. Speaking the Khmer language it's so fun to learn that I get to know the greetings, prayers, and how to testify of Christ and even extending invitation! I really love and miss you all so much! I hope a lot of you are aware that in my "NOTES" in my Facebook has ALL of my contact information! This is my current MTC mailing address if any of you want to send me letters!:

 I hoped to hear how you all are doing as I am training in the MTC! I even get to visit the Provo Utah Temple 2 times already last week... I LOVE THIS SACRED BUILDING SO MUCH. The ordinances done in the temple are very sacred and the temple is where I can maintain the greatest amount of peace in my heart, mind and spirit it fantastic in there. I testify that the gift of tongues from the Holy Ghost is the main key of my understanding of my mission language which is Khmer or Cambodian!
Hope to hear from you all! I will be doing all I need to do in P-day ounce I send this mail out! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! 

P.S. Pictures will be shown soon from my experience in the first week in the MTC.

                                                                                                     Cumriablei!.
