Dear Family
How are things back home? Is summer there in full swing? Looks like Vegas was a blast, Kudos and Congratulations to Ben and Lea! Things are going really great here in Teuk Thla!
This past week was super; we had a great visit with the family of Pu Mony and Ming Srey with the Branch President and it was a great visit indeed. Pu Mony has been working on figuring everything out with their homeland about the marriage certificate and they are actually are...on their way right now to go get it! Yay!!
We were thinking it might be quite a while until they would be able to go and
We had a great visit with them and the Branch President was so good and talked to them a lot about going to the temple and how that is their ultimate goal. All of us were so happy about their being so close to baptism! The Branch President made everything just really clear for them and cleared things up for us Elders and it was just a very happy meeting and there was a lot of trust established and they should be good to go this month to get baptized.
Things are going so great here and it seems like the new investigators just keep coming-we had 3 member referrals come to church yesterday and they are potential investigators in our area. 2 of them came from an active member named Ming Tevy. We had met with her and her husband, Pu Chan, a while back and talked about missionary work and what they could do to do missionary work. The Pu was like, "Elders, no one wants to learn around here. None of our neighbors like our church, and they are all Buddhist, there is no one who wants to learn....." He was saying stuff like that but we asked them to just pray for missionary opportunities and gave them a pamphlet to give with our number on it. On Saturday Pu Chan told us that there were a couple of their neighbors coming to church the next day and he said that he had been praying for missionary opportunities. The next day 2 of their neighbors came and they are women that recently moved INTO their neighborhood. Really cool experience seeing how things changed as they prayed for missionary opportunities. Shows that the Lord will lead His children where they need to go if we ask for those opportunities to share the gospel and prepare ourselves to do so.
Things are just dandy here in Teuk Thla and the work goes on. I can see and feel the hastening of the Lord's work and it is a great honor to be a part of it!
I love you, have a terrific week!
Sincerely,
Elder Garlick
