Dear Family,
This week has been good! It seemed like it was a little hard because we got ditched a lot and a lot of our plans fell through. But, that is a part of missionary work and we still worked hard and saw some great things happen.
We had a cool experience with going to visit a less active man who is the father of a couple really great strong members-one of which sed to be our Branch Mission Leader, Seiha, who will hopefully go on a mission sometime in the near future. Anywho, We were biking down the road and felt a prompting to go and visit this less active man(Seiha's dad). We had never really sat down and talked with him before and a lot of times he is not home but we followed the prompting and he just so happened to be home-miracle! We sat down and visited with him and had a good talk with him and developed a lot more trust, we were able to develop some trust with him and we were able to understand what he is struggling with more. He talked a lot about how he loves his kids, he really works hard to support them so that they can go to school and learn, and he wants them to be strong and active in the church and not make the same mistakes as he has. It was great and a big step in our developing trust with him and helping him come back.
We also had a cool experience with one of our recent converts, Ming Leak, and her new home teacher, Kaem Chheun. He asked us to come with him because his companion was taking care of his sick wife at the hospital. So we went hometeaching with him and showed him where our Ming Leak lives. It was a great visit and it was really cool to see the trust and the bond being established between our recent convert, Ming Leak, and her hometeacher. It just really assures me that she is in good hands and will be taken care of and supported by the Priesthood in the branch. Super cool!
Elder Jensen and I have been getting along really good and have some great love and unity in our companionship. We have been really trying to be prayerful and receive revelation-when we disagree about something-we take it to the Lord and pray to know what he would have us do. This is something that we have been doing and it really helps strengthen my testimony of revelation and that the Lord is at the head of this work.
Things are going good and I know that this really is the work of the Lord. Sorry this is kinda short but that is all I've got today! Have a great day and I'll talk to you next week!
Love,
Elder Garlick
