Dear Family!
Hey I hope that things are going great for you and that life is treating you just swell! For Elder Hem and me things are going really good. Yesterday in Sen Sok we had two baptisms. One was for an awesome 9 year old girl named Vicchigaa who is from a part member family and the other was a 17 year old girl named Srei Tooc who is also from a part member family. They are both so great and it was great to see them get baptized and to see them make this special covenant with God.
We also had a couple of great less active members who came back to church that came to church on Sunday which was great to see. They are the family members of the missionary Final (of whom I sent some pictures last week) seeing an investigator or a less active member come to church really brings such happiness.
We also have been working with some of our other investigators and we have some that are progressing great towards baptism! So we should probably be seeing some in the next couple of weeks. Elder Hem has told me that he wants me to start taking the lead on things and to start leading planning and making sure we go to place to place and try to make sure we try to achieve our goals and plans. It has been going really good and he is always trying to teach me new things and to push me. I really do appreciate him. I feel like we have been really working hard and that we are seeing some great things from our efforts. One thing we want to do is to find a new family and we are going to pray this week and discuss together we want to do in order to find a family that the Lord has prepared for us. We are going to exercise faith and do our best to find a family here in Sen Sok.
I know that this work is true. I know that Jesus Christ is at the head of this work. I feel so blessed to be a representative of Him and to serve my brothers and sisters her in Sen Sok. I know that the scriptures are really "packets of light" and I continue to feel the Spirit and an increased desire to be better as I study them. I love this gospel and I love our Savior. I still am amazed by His love and mercy and that He was willing to suffer and die in order to help us and "succor us according to our afflictions"(Alma 7:11-13) I know that He is a God of Miracles and will continue to work miracles in our lives today. May we all keep to the faith and stay true to Him. I love you all.
Take care and have a terrific week!
Love,
Elder Garlick
