"For behold the field is white and ready to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul..."
Elder Ly, Elder Tiave, Elder Sok and Gage harvesting rice (and souls) in Cambodia.








Yesterday I taught our English class and then a puppet show thing, that the church does came here. It was kinda funny cause I thought that this puppet show was supposed to be funny and for all ages. Nope, it was definitely for little kids... Yeah, I talked my whole English class into staying haha... I think they are mad at me... But at least now they know a new way to brush their teeth!






...the other day we visited Lok Thaa Muen. I think I told you about him before. Anyway we took a picture the other day, Me, him and Elder Sok and me and Elder Sok went and got a 8x10 printed and framed it and we gave it to him haha. Then he went into his house and got 2 other pictures the same size!... Yeah they were of him and 2 other missionaries that found him haha. So now he has 3 huge framed picture of him and missionaries and he’s so proud of them!

Well I'm out of little ol' Sen Sok and I have officially entered the City of Phnom Pehn. I was a country boy for the first 16 months in the field. Eating nothing but rice and what ever small animals we are able to catch during the day…haha. Now I'm eating like an American and needless to say I'm getting fat haha. But I'm enjoing it so much that I am lacking the self discipline to do anything about it.






What a week... First thing I am going to say is that I miss Sen Sok. That place changed my life! The people, the work, the trials, and the life long friends that I made there! Nothing can take Sen Sok’s place in my heart! Leaving there was even harder than leaving Battambong! I think it was just cause of the lessons learned. I cried the whole way to the mission home... but I love this work! There are so many incredible people in the world and we are so blessed to be led by, in my opinion, the best of them all! I love my time out here and the work is still work! but it is worth every second!
