ជំរាបសួរ!, 

         What is up everyone reading my newest post! Sorry for the lateness of this week's post for this post it's going to short and simple about how'd this week went here I go! So this week was tough... but was fun doing missionary work still.:

     Throughout this I came across very good starting investigators who's aware about who's Christ and why does the Book of Mormon exist on Earth, I also came across contacting along with Elder Hall conversing/ contacting with 91 person throughout last week. Had a new investigator that works around a wasteland behind Phum Taneng and was very interested to learn about what we teach, it was fun to plant a seed and see if his faith will grow as me and Elder Hall has done so. 

We've been working with Mang Sachang, and he's doing good still doing what he can do to keep his faith growing, until baptism! Narin's doing good, has a good family will baptized soon! Kim's doing okay, it's just he needs do the best he can to keep coming back to church! Bung's doing well, still coming to church along the Branch President of Branch 2! I've also visiting the recent converts and less actives to see how they're also doing and especially those that on the island!

   

     Last Night Saturday Night to Sunday Sabbath was okay but a bit complicated: After doing all I could to throughout this week was a lot of work and tiring, that I had to rest for the night to Sunday until Church. Church was great as usual! But not a whole lot investigators came to church throughout that time which was disappointing but that's okay! After church, I had to rest at the apartment more to do all I could in my ability as a missionary to take care of records. So that was it.(But don't worry at all!) 

     

     Yesterday or Monday's okay because I had to talk to the President Christensen on that time. But don't worry I am still okay and still serving in this mission, there's a emergency transfer I need to go through soon to serve somewhere in Phnom Penh and where's that? Some of you would ask... back to Ta Khmau.... Branch 1! I am still alive in the mission. My new companion's name is Elder Xiong! So that's pretty exciting! 

      I would like to bare honest testimony that with God's grace everything we go through in our lives is possible to go through, that's if we rely on God at everything we do. I have faith that if each of us keep relying on the atonement of Christ we can conquer our obstacles once and for all! God's the true miracle and I am a instrument in his hands! I know that missionary work is worth my lifetime as I do this work for God! I just want to offer gratitude for this Thanksgiving Season for the atonement of Jesus, the opportunity we have in our lives to repent or change every day for the better, the opportunity to re-new our baptismal covenants by partaking the Sacrament in Church every Sunday, the gift of the Holy Ghost we have to guides us and enable us to endure to the end! 

     I won't give up in serving in this mission, I still love all I serve over here. I still know that God loves me and all of us! After I serve this mission I am positive that I will know I've been a successful missionary! I love each and everyone of you that has kept in your prayers! Elder Ros is NOT dead and as that one movie I never watched which I heard was super good "God's NOT dead"!  It's been a fantastic adventure to serve in Kampong Cham, I will surely miss serving here. (FOR REAL. It's hard to say Good-bye to those I served as much as I could.)

"Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity." - Moroni 10:20

"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God." - Moroni 10:36

I also would like to echo this quote out even though this is old but it's so true... and I kid each of you reading this not:

 "I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience. Salvation never was easy. We are The Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head. How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?" - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

From last P-day on the 9th: I went to Phnom Broh- Current stairs I am on front of. (After walking up a set of stairs I walked up in Phnom Srei!) So, I did

an attempt along with Elder Hall to go up the stairs in Phnom Broh to go through the Monkeys... didn't go all the way up

because a Monkey stole the water bottle I didn't want to keep. (I am just going to be smart along with Elder Hall

by not get bit by a Monkey by walking up furthermore on the stairs up, and so we did...Yep!)

Played a game of "Do you love your neighbor" from last REAN English Program Session!
