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!<br /></em><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Gage in Cambodiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01802220114973192797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388381735902682761.post-36082863450123325022009-01-01T12:37:00.000-08:002009-01-01T20:04:06.673-08:00November-December Pics<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYfOSXt74nqgnV5Aj0nsb59FlerPbdodI94UoLiJiqxF7tlq0nmrZExvJCbjMJjGeoMCE1Ys0crScYPzXrN26g-2JNbQv5KpAiJ7u-ynziWmnlgWx8s8WywxrJnjRzJSIdWBVAOWV-rUjj/s1600-h/%2351+mission+picts+062.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286439714001914994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYfOSXt74nqgnV5Aj0nsb59FlerPbdodI94UoLiJiqxF7tlq0nmrZExvJCbjMJjGeoMCE1Ys0crScYPzXrN26g-2JNbQv5KpAiJ7u-ynziWmnlgWx8s8WywxrJnjRzJSIdWBVAOWV-rUjj/s320/%2351+mission+picts+062.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Merry Christmas Gage</strong><br /></div><br /><strong></strong><br /><br /><div align="center"><em>Cambodia Phnom Pehn Mission </em></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubU6CRh6Bae89yC91hm6yvLyYpRO7IqjmSze8t2g1xnTDcBWnj9Z0p9bOwUs5Y0IXPd8Lki3U38B-lZrYgem5WwFsIHcQHOf7fl5DQRcZ5-CB0QOA1hukblkDTeJS_cZdmH2swadvjQZN/s1600-h/%2351+mission+picts+052.JPG"></a></div><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubU6CRh6Bae89yC91hm6yvLyYpRO7IqjmSze8t2g1xnTDcBWnj9Z0p9bOwUs5Y0IXPd8Lki3U38B-lZrYgem5WwFsIHcQHOf7fl5DQRcZ5-CB0QOA1hukblkDTeJS_cZdmH2swadvjQZN/s1600-h/%2351+mission+picts+052.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286439712564436034" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubU6CRh6Bae89yC91hm6yvLyYpRO7IqjmSze8t2g1xnTDcBWnj9Z0p9bOwUs5Y0IXPd8Lki3U38B-lZrYgem5WwFsIHcQHOf7fl5DQRcZ5-CB0QOA1hukblkDTeJS_cZdmH2swadvjQZN/s320/%2351+mission+picts+052.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Hey!

I went from Battambong which the missionaries call "heaven" to Sen-Sok which the missionaries call "...." yeah I'll leave you to figure that on out on your own.. Let's just say leaving Battambong, the members and the investigators was the hardest thing that I have ever done... But, here in Sen-Sok I'm definitely learning alot... This is the poorest area in the mission.. And the people are just... I dunno they just don't have any hope for anything... It is really the saddest thing that I have ever seen... and the work is very slow.. but I can see myself changing. I always thought I was a reasonably humble guy... Now I know that I was wrong. This place, along with our Lord, is changing me into a completely different person! So yeah things are getting better haha. This work is too incredible. Everyday is so beautiful! Even if its 100 degrees and you're walking in open sewage...

Thanksgiving day we proselyted like normal, then we had a lesson with 2 new converts, Joy and Tida (I think that picture that you got form Sister Stagg with me in white was their baptism) anyway we had their mom cook us some food and we payed her, she is the best cook in Cambodia so far! She made this incredible chicken curry stuff that you eat with bread, man that was good... Anyway so that was thanksgiving day, then last Sunday night Elder and Sister Stagg had us over for a real thanksgiving meal, and well ha we had a real thanksgiving meal! They had turkey and mashed potatoes and made a salad, and Elder Christensen got stuffing, and yams and some other random stuff in a package so he gave that to them to cook up and well we had a great thanksgiving dinner! And then we talked about what we are all thankful for. And the Staggs took more pictures so I’m sure that you will get those soon!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVaZUG6K1qmORscfYDBp1DDtyuKL6b006jnvsPXLg78wM0z4MPyiGlp_4LNHhuuhzwoa_f0QPL_h-jH4ZcMCNsf0liX1QRdZbmVG8lchi2maOcxw5FPCkXfucaN60G2CgLZbd9UC49yme/s1600-h/%2348+mission+picts+036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286437144832665586" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkVaZUG6K1qmORscfYDBp1DDtyuKL6b006jnvsPXLg78wM0z4MPyiGlp_4LNHhuuhzwoa_f0QPL_h-jH4ZcMCNsf0liX1QRdZbmVG8lchi2maOcxw5FPCkXfucaN60G2CgLZbd9UC49yme/s320/%2348+mission+picts+036.JPG" border="0" /></a> Anyway things are going great here. We have some incredible investigators! And they are all about to get baptised really soon! We have one that I’ve been working with for a while named Daang. He’s amazing and has tons of friends too! And we have another girl named Jarriya, she is incredible too! ha She just has a really beautiful testimony, and she’s already one of the popular ones in the youth (the youth are great, the church is the hang out spot for them so at any given time there will be atleast 10+ at the church just having a good time). Anyway she’s actually been an incredible influence on the rest of the girls and has help some of them out quite a bit! Then we have Thee, he is the perfect investigator... in every way.. I really don’t know what to tell you about him cause he’s just... well ha perfect! He’s got the strongest testimony I have ever seen in an investigator and it’s stronger then most members! And he prays better then I do!<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPtzbdNh-FmqyOWJVuqsCFqiBE0wJwzAE4V4JjJzwakkksQMrfxBq6qAXkMdCal6jxOaHczoq_D4aHwPYX8n1iDImdAotY6kTP8NmqCvxg2TI3nb_7SyJrqSJPYnYG1Y_aecvkpIrOW8Pc/s1600-h/%2348+mission+picts+013A.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286498580995293122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 203px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPtzbdNh-FmqyOWJVuqsCFqiBE0wJwzAE4V4JjJzwakkksQMrfxBq6qAXkMdCal6jxOaHczoq_D4aHwPYX8n1iDImdAotY6kTP8NmqCvxg2TI3nb_7SyJrqSJPYnYG1Y_aecvkpIrOW8Pc/s320/%2348+mission+picts+013A.JPG" border="0" /></a>Hey, we had two more baptisms! Joy and Tida! They are the two most amazing kids ever, boy and girl, 10 and 12! Their mom was an inactive member but ever since we started teaching her two kids she's been amazing! So we killed 2 birds with one stone (I think that is the strangest saying... when has any one ever literally killed 2 birds with one stone... heck I've never killed one bird with any number of stones!) Anyway they are incredible and they both asked me to baptize them. Tthey were a little easier then rutta, mostly cause they weren't afraid of water and also cause the water was already up to their necks haha. And they gave beautiful testimonies! But here is the cool part. Joy was way sick two days before his baptism. And the Sunday he was supposed to get baptized he couldn't even sit up. So obviously he couldn't come to church, so his mom tried to call us but we forgot our phone, so they didn't know what to do.. So they prayed and to make a long story short the Lord blessed Joy with like a 4 hour break from his sickness! After the prayer, they said that Joy got up, went to the bathroom and came out with his Sunday clothes on and felt totally fine! So them jump on their moto and walk in to church 15 minuets late (what a relief to us) and went to all the normal classes and then the baptism ceremony.. got home and fell asleep and well went back to being sick... This was all unknown to us. So we go to their house that Monday and he's laying there sick to his stomach, so we gave him a blessing and he said he felt alot better. We will find out tomorrow how he's doing...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRD8AMu3_QW-5Dj8QQuVWfv4C5-2UBQRMNxwPyWfJKvTA_KnL2TZGTPdlli7S_eOYUqGCg7-fHb2W9zGJY_DcGTzawObcJxdZhGipYRPaUQLK9hO_A1HaUHarRIqgyGrDA65jZY0FRS_Zj/s1600-h/IMG_1124.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286500129707722626" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRD8AMu3_QW-5Dj8QQuVWfv4C5-2UBQRMNxwPyWfJKvTA_KnL2TZGTPdlli7S_eOYUqGCg7-fHb2W9zGJY_DcGTzawObcJxdZhGipYRPaUQLK9hO_A1HaUHarRIqgyGrDA65jZY0FRS_Zj/s320/IMG_1124.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>...well I’ve been hearing about all the financial problems in America... but it has made me realize something, another blessing that I received from coming here on my mission.

"So we have these two investigators, Mome and Muen, anyway they are good.. They are dirt poor and are a young couple with a 2 year old kid... Oh and Muen used to be a monk haha. Anyway they were doing great until Muen got sick... Just a little stomach flu... Anyway their neighbors call a doctor to come over and look at him. Now what you have to understand about this doctor is that he is not your everyday doctor... No he is a Kruu Khmer or in other words, a Cambodian witch doctor! haha These guys are crazy! They have all these random things and necklaces and bracelets and what ever all over them and they go wandering around in the forests worshiping weird things... They make a living off of going to the houses of really, really superstitious people and telling them that some evil spirit from some random dead relative is pissed off so the spirit is some how getting you back... Anyway, if you’re having business trouble, or not doing good in school, you lost your job, or even if your girlfriend dumped you... this crazy doctor makes up some ridiculous story about some spirit haunting you... Anyway back to Muen, so the witch doctor shows up and he talks to the neighbors before he talks to Muen and the neighbors told him that Muen is learning about Christ so this is the story. Muen has a tummy ache because his wife’s great-grandma’s spirit is pissed off that Muen is learning with us, so this great grandma’s spirit-in-law got a hold of some random evil spirit that she met on one of her journeys in the other worlds or something and that spirit is currently "eating his intestines" because he is learning with American Christians...so the crazy witch doctor tells them to stop learning with us and asks for 20 bucks (which is probably more money then Muen makes in a month) then this doctor takes the money, and gets a call on his cellphone from another moron that twisted her ankle or something then he gets in his car and goes and cheats the next poor brainless sucker...Anyway they told us never to come back... Well, Mome did, Muen was asleep... So what do we do? Oh course we go back the next day! And well, haha, Muen was mad that we didn’t wake him up the last time cause he read some of the ‘For Strength for Youth’ pamphlet and he wanted to share what he learned haha. So Mome still doesn’t want us to come back because she’s scared her great great-grandpa’s dog’s cousin’s spirit might eat her brains (the little that she has) and give her a head ache... only in Cambodia. We’re going back tomorrow night. Well there you go! That’s me latest story haha." </div><div></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibD6W3uCVA55vkvRZwmD3ECkKPiUg8r-8z9BCmica5WY_IRQgcFL5FfApQOPG_NANhKIYkBu3P7DfQ4afogTlGN4UDzeWnc-VBo-sasCcjshj56eHA2_zCJDqT7Ks0iGmLuVokQVDVYRq0/s1600-h/IMG_1005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286433579483075218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibD6W3uCVA55vkvRZwmD3ECkKPiUg8r-8z9BCmica5WY_IRQgcFL5FfApQOPG_NANhKIYkBu3P7DfQ4afogTlGN4UDzeWnc-VBo-sasCcjshj56eHA2_zCJDqT7Ks0iGmLuVokQVDVYRq0/s320/IMG_1005.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Gage visits Cambodia's famous Angkor Watt Temple site... the next day we went to Angkor Watt, ha wow!

I'm doing great! I'm having fun and the work is really getting done here! Man this place is so great! The other day we went to an old Buddhist temple on P-day and I got playing around with some kids and we were singing some crazy Cambodian songs haha ( I memorized like 3 songs and parts of others). Anyway before I knew what happened I had like 50little kids following me around! That was so much fun! I love playing with the little guys... And the other day we gave some little member kids some more pop rocks and they were running around holding their little head screaming that there head was going to explode! Man, good times... </div><div></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a

Phnom Penh is actually about the same size as St. George, and everyone else is in the ‘kites’ or the communities and little towns through out the country. A big reason is that when Pol Pot was in power he forced everyone out of the cities and into the country, so it’s just home for a lot of people now and all the younger generations go to Phnom Penh if they go to college and Sien Riep if they are look for a good job because that’s where the tourism is." "Everyone here (well where I am at least) lives in a house on stilts about 10ft off the ground at least, or they live in a shack house boat, those are way cool, but the stilt houses are kinda scary cause the floor is made out of bamboo and there is like 1 inch gaps between the shafts so they don’t really have to sweep anything, it just falls through to the floor, and Cambodians don’t weigh more then 150lbs so when I come around weighing in at 210lb the ladders and the bamboo bridges that go to their homes like to break haha. I’ve crossed so many bridges that look like they have came out of Indiana Jones it’s ridiculous haha and I’ve fell through 2 already (but I catch my self from falling to my death haha) and I have no idea how many I’ve broken! It’s pretty crazy out here haha but the people are amazing! They have nothing yet they are so nice that they will give what ever they have to you if you need it, they are great people just the same.

He is a likeable, friendly person who can form good relationships and he and his trainer worked well together. He has another good companion in Elder Godfrey and they are united in setting high goals and in their willingness to do whatever they can to further the work of the Lord here. Thank you for providing the kind of home where he could grow up with the standards of the gospel being lived and where he could prepare to meet the requirements of full-time service. This is the most important work in the world that he can be doing at this time of his life--and he is prepared and worthy. What a joy that is to parents to know that! Elder Miller takes life in stride and is a great help in anything he is asked to do. He is humble about his language ability and continues to strive to learn more; nevertheless, he has been able to translate well for us in Sunday meetings. He is understanding more and more of what is said, even with the different ways of speaking heard among the members. We are completing our mission and will return to Utah tomorrow. We will miss your son but know he will continue to move forward and be a great strength in whatever part of the mission he is called to serve. </em></div><div><em>Sincerely, Elder and Sister Christensen</em></div><atomicelement id="ms__id7736"><em></em></atomicelement><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMlD9jKvxU1HkwSGanTZzxdX03DCG8i_gkOXgKJslCDiUF9kuXMaBap3grHgBTtmII-dnToixEse1xs9tWzb0ngxhRDbfpqLOwnQd3yHJWavd3846uSUfS5W8XXUCAsfAIXfEP7BL-qjO7/s1600-h/The+best+and+worst+Mountain+Dew.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208634038897905602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMlD9jKvxU1HkwSGanTZzxdX03DCG8i_gkOXgKJslCDiUF9kuXMaBap3grHgBTtmII-dnToixEse1xs9tWzb0ngxhRDbfpqLOwnQd3yHJWavd3846uSUfS5W8XXUCAsfAIXfEP7BL-qjO7/s320/The+best+and+worst+Mountain+Dew.JPG" border="0" /></a><em>"The other day I got a Mountain Dew sent to me from Elder Davis my trainer in Phnom penh, and one thing about soda here is that they make it in Thailand, so its not really the same thing, so I put it in my fridge and I finally drank it!

Oh well I'll just have to wait till I get home to have a REAL Mountain Dew..."<br /></em><br /><br /></div><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeX_XDW4VGpQjIVg6glFxfWeuoQZYf5xNepa_7b_YexTG3fYp1KqwTvbDmOEXcOwut8PfnEOYbyRp7QUQy9daihI9l5iWwU7X0GjCo4WPSo6II9SXnHfu6StqMH1iKRwqB2U5cSJ1nWj3X/s1600-h/Finding+new+investigator.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207264075058200066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeX_XDW4VGpQjIVg6glFxfWeuoQZYf5xNepa_7b_YexTG3fYp1KqwTvbDmOEXcOwut8PfnEOYbyRp7QUQy9daihI9l5iWwU7X0GjCo4WPSo6II9SXnHfu6StqMH1iKRwqB2U5cSJ1nWj3X/s320/Finding+new+investigator.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><br /><p>Elder Miller, finding an investigator.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvX-cYukbSBwm2zvGthKFPgUMY61-slZxypZXjrVd-Pcq5kH7x7rXok7shwq8-ifUeAk0c0ff7338bJioKgpDTNgc9IQqJLXjcCu4_Zhy5K9Z7X2EZd5Q-CYhIynGbU-1jmjP-wxhfe-d/s1600-h/Gage+%26+Godfrey+%26+Family+II.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208630394492445666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgvX-cYukbSBwm2zvGthKFPgUMY61-slZxypZXjrVd-Pcq5kH7x7rXok7shwq8-ifUeAk0c0ff7338bJioKgpDTNgc9IQqJLXjcCu4_Zhy5K9Z7X2EZd5Q-CYhIynGbU-1jmjP-wxhfe-d/s320/Gage+%26+Godfrey+%26+Family+II.JPG" border="0" /></a>Gage's new companion Elder Godfrey and Gage with Cambodian family they are teaching. <em>"...now for the best part of the week... We had 91 people go to church! Yeah that's all I have to say! All the missionaries and the leadership in our distric fasted and well, 91 people came haha! 3 weeks ago we had 47, then 67, and last week 91! It was amazing! We honestly had more in-actives than active members come by far! And what was even better is that they all had fun! Sacrament was so fun! There was just a good spirit there and every one couldn't stop smiling! And we even had a couple of "laugh attacks" where the whole congregation couldn't stop laughing! It was so great! Anyway our branch is really waking up. The leadership, the members and now the in-actives. People are just ... I dunno... waking up haha! Hopefully Heavenly Father will continue to just flat out bless us!"<br /></em><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6TbYUAz3AjpINN8-v1QfrTVVrOrX5lyXlJaZ3ZLDTasAGmwvrf7G_Svdrpbmw0V0Mm0H1dNx_rccNPN3jXKFXdEQo8Qnyk7Enj1jMvmACzCQf10Tv6KZscLOD19IAOSVg6hPncYaGSEUK/s1600-h/Some+shrine.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208631646394669554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6TbYUAz3AjpINN8-v1QfrTVVrOrX5lyXlJaZ3ZLDTasAGmwvrf7G_Svdrpbmw0V0Mm0H1dNx_rccNPN3jXKFXdEQo8Qnyk7Enj1jMvmACzCQf10Tv6KZscLOD19IAOSVg6hPncYaGSEUK/s320/Some+shrine.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A shrine in somewhere in Cambodia. <em>(All Gage said was "some shrine".
