Hey there family!!
I hope you are doing so good! I am doing pretty swell here in Sen Sok!
This past week has been good. Elder Hem and I have been super busy and have been doing a ton of teaching. We have had a lot to do and it is real nice to be keeping busy. I like how Elder Hem is teaching me to teach faster. I feel like it is important that when we teach the investigator or member really feel the Spirit and then try and get out of there soon afterwards, because I have seen that when we just continue to talk and socialize too long afterwards the strong Spirit starts to dissipate and it isn't as powerful. I am really grateful for Elder Hem and for all that he is teaching me.
It is really humbling being with a Cambodian companion and I'm really grateful for this opportunity the Lord has blessed me with. It is helping me to grow a lot. It is definitely different being companions with Elder Hem and learning more about the culture and language of Cambodia. It is humbling with the language since now I am recognizing just how many words I don't know and such as I try to help translate things and explain things. In all of this I feel blessed and I feel a greater desire to rely on the Lord.
I am so grateful for Him. I know that through Christ and His Atonement our weaknesses really can become strengths. I am so humbled to serve Him. I know that He lives. I cannot wait for the day when He will come again. What a happy day that shall be! How blessed we are to be builders in His Kingdom and to help prepare the world for His Second Coming.
I really hope you know that I love you. I don't really know who all receives this here email, but I hope you know that I love you all. I love all of you whether you be my mom, dad, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, ward members, or friends! Thank you for all of your prayers and love. It means the world to me. I love you tons.
Have a great week! Talk to you soon. Take Care!
Love,
Elder Garlick
