Fifth Week in the MTC

I am doing super well, and still learning tons and tons!! Mostly this week I have been working on speaking the language as often as I can to expand my vocabulary. A lot of memorizing words. I am working on memorizing the First Vision in Khmer. It's not too bad, it's just hard to try and make it fluent and not pause or stop at the end of each word.
I got your DearElder this afternoon that had the bit about Osama. I was going to ask about that, I heard a little bit of something from one of the Elders in my district about it. We don't hear anything about anything here. We are our own little world. We got excited for one of the elders to go to the optometrist today and all we wanted to know was what the price of gas was! ha ha! 3.79??? Holy cow! Insane. 
Since I have been here, the Lord has done an incredible job at filling the holes in my heart. Absolutely incredible. I can't even begin to explain because my eyes get teary with gratitude towards the Lord for filling those holes with enormous amounts of peace and comfort.
Here at the MTC we found a native Cambodian! We've only been able to talk to him twice, but only for like 30 seconds because we're all so busy. It's super cool though! Ha ha, I am sometimes waking up in the middle of the night and realized I've been dreaming in Khmer because I'm all confused when I wake up wondering what the heck is going on!?? And then I realized I've been working so hard and learning so much of the language that it is sticking with me when I sleep! Ha ha! I think that my spelling is about to start going down the drain too with learning the language.
I am learning so so much about the gospel and as I do I realize more and more the love and care that our Savior and Father in Heaven has for us. It is so great. And the more I realize the love and care that they have for me, the more I want to follow what They want me to do, and the more I follow what They want me to do, the closer I grow to them. It is so amazing and wonderful. The gospel is incredible and a wonderful gift that we have.

Love,

Elder Alex Kuhn
