Now this is a story all about how
my life got flipped turned upside down
so I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Mian
Chey
On Wednesday the phone goes off in E. Berger’s pocket and he’s
like "it’s probably president" and then he looks at the phone and it’s
actually president. We proceed to freak out. Then he picks up and president
tells him that he wants E. Bergs to come be his new assistant so pack up and get
over here in like 36 hours. He hangs up and we proceed to freak out some more. I
punch him a couple times. And then it hits us. He has to be AP. I have to get a
new comp and lead out the area. crap. We freaked out some more. President didn’t
even tell me who my new comp would be so I was freaking out about that too.
So much change.
And then I found out I was getting Elder Brewer!!
He’s the former AP and he is super awesome. He’s arguably
the best Khmae speaker in the mission. He’s super funny and super easy to be
friends with. He’s got all the cool stuff from being an AP. He’s way awesome.
I've busted up 3 times during lessons already because he’s just way funny and
sometimes he says the most ridiculous stuff in Khmae but somehow it just
totally works and the investigator understands. I'm going to learn all the
tricks from him.
I'm kinda sad though because this means he will probably
stay in stung Mian Chey and train a new missionary and I’ll leave the area in 3
weeks. I’m actually super sad about that. I love this place.

We had stake conference this week. The first stake conference ever in Cambodia! it was super good. President Moon gave talks in both sessions and he did them all in Khmae!!!!! My jaw was on the floor the whole time! It was insane. He was way good! For a mission president that never served here it was way impressive. He even used a couple of words I didn’t know. Then Sister Moon gave her talk too. It was amazing. She had a translator but then at the end she started bearing her testimony in Khmae. It was so powerful. Super simple and really good. I cried.
I love traffic. No joke it’s so fun.
So much happened this week, I don’t even remember all of it.
Om Ai is doing great. All our investigators are awesome. I'm adjusting well to
my new companion. Life is super good!
