Today is Thursday, Tuesday and Wednesday we spent the day traveling to and from Phnom Penh and being in meetings. Most missions usually have about 150 somethings people. Our 60 something is quite nice. You really get to know everyone and that is just fun.

Cambodia is really getting into the Christmas season right now. It is probably 93 degrees out right now. But, the way that you can tell here is that the mangos are in season. Oh boy howdy do I love mangos in Cambodia. If you pick them early, they have this super tasty sour kick to them. And, if you wait until it is ripe, it has a super sweet taste. But right now, most of them are perfect, with this sweet, yet sour kick to it. So good! I absolutely live it.

Thanksgiving we had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, jello, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, strawberry pie, and banana creme pie. It was amazing! Thank you Senior couple Reynolds!!!!!

We have 2 new families that we found the other day. One is a husband and wife with 1 kid. He is 21, she 20, and the kid 5 months. Crazy. His name is Nan and hers is San. Please pray for them. Her brother is learning too. His name is Van. They are super poor, but they are really nice. I think that if we can get them to learn long enough that they will experience upon the Word, the Spirit will do all of the work from there.

The other family is Song and Laom. They have 3 boys and 1 daughter. Only have met them once. They used to go to some other Christian church but stopped because they said that it was really weird, and that they never learned very much, and they just danced and sang the whole time. So, hopefully, we will be able to teach them and get them going. They need prayers. They will be having troubles in getting to church, so please pray that we will be able to overcome that.

The Book of Mormom truly is the greatest book ever written ever!! I wish everyone would read that book with a pure heart and pure intent so that they too could know of the spiritual power and peace that comes from it. Many people will just never know because they weren't ready and willing to pick it up and read it. I know that it testifies of Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ was the Director of what was being written in that book. I know that that book still stands true today, and will never be, and cannot be disproven. I'm so thankful for eternal families.
