It was hard to say goodbye:
But everything will be alright:
Now I speak Khmae a lot:
Elder Khiev (rhymes with pee-yew, the "v" is more of a "w" here) is the coolest person of all time. He is 24 and has a degree in banking from a college in his hometown, Kampung Cham. He doesn't speak 2 licks of English so I've been learning a lot of cooking words.
Cambodians are very blunt and Elder Khiev is definitely blunt. Yesterday in our BM meeting he asked our BM how much weight she had lost since she returned from her mission a couple of months ago because she used to be so fat. Rekt. Elder Khiev has the most beautiful lisp so every new word he teaches me I have to factor that in first. It's a fun life.
This week I also went on an exchange with Elder Jensen, my zone leader.
His area is a little bit farther out of the city and it's way beautiful:
I'm learning a lot out here. We've got a couple of good investigators. A lot of them give us some hope for a week and then get really busy tho. Right now we are working with a guy named Sok Naa. He is way smarter than all of us and he has come to church the past 2 weeks. He just needs a confirmation that it is all true now. Pray for him.
I love my mission. It is hard sometimes but mostly it's just fun and rewarding.
God answers prayers. Go pray for a miracle today and watch it happen.
love,
elder osborne
