Doing Great!

I am doing great! I just got a haircut, and he cut my sides super short. And took a razor to my face. My forehead included... I don't even have hair there! I had a great week, I went to Phnom Penh, unexpectedly. Elder Kong and I were riding our bikes side by side together, and we got stuck together, and had a little accident. Nothing too bad at all, but I did hurt my ankle a little bit. Well, Elder Spilker had been pretty sick for a few days and it was time he went to see a doctor. So since Elder Nebeker had been in his house for a few days, and I wasn't in 100% working order, they sent me with Elder Spilker to Phnom Penh. So that was a fun 3 day trip! We left Saturday morning, and came back Monday afternoon. Elder Spilker and I are both doing great now, so no worries there. But I had a fun trip in Phnom Penh; we went and got some really good pizza, breadsticks and bbq wings at Sarpino's Pizzeria by the mission home. And I found a rolling pin, so I bought it. Ha ha, now I can make tortillas and cinnamon rolls. But we stayed at the mission home, and I have to tell you that President and Sister Smedley pretty much treat the missionaries like their own children. She invited us into their kitchen and pretty much said to help ourselves. So we had cereal (haven't had that for 4 months), and then she invited us, Sunday night, to have ham sandwiches, which I haven't had forever too, so that was awesome.  Let me tell you what, I think that the mission home is a multi-million dollar house. I heard that a member donated it, too. The kitchen was a real kitchen too. I miss kitchens! I think that they are the only people in the mission that have an oven. Ha ha! But it is just huge, and even has carpet and vacuums. Yup, Monday morning I heard a vacuum for the first time in 4 months. That was different. But things went super well in Phnom Penh, and it was really good to eat some good, American food. I had a really good bratwurst Sunday lunch, and on Saturday for lunch had a hamburger, chili dog, and some very, very good ice cream. I just thought I stepped into America for a few days. I hope one day to serve in the city! Ha ha!  things are really starting to pick up here in Kampong Cham! We have been teaching a family of six, and they are really starting to get involved in the lessons, and it is wonderful to sit down with all of them and teach them about our wonderful Father in Heaven. I know that it truly is within the family that big changes will take place, and that stronger converts will be made because they will strengthen and support one another.  We’ve also started teaching Hong’s dad, and I hope that as he changes it will make an effect on his mom, and eventually she will have a desire to learn about the gospel. So that will be awesome! So things are really picking up with teaching investigators over here, and I am super excited to see what is going to happen!
