Hello (In Cambodian)

I bet you're wondering why the title of my email is in Khmer (Cambodian) yeah so 2 weeks ago I got transferred in to Tacoma South, as a new Zone Leader, I thought that was going to be hard because Tacoma South is the biggest zone in the mission so I was already freaking out. After that I found out I was in a Khmer area, and I was certain I was going to have to learn how to speak Khmer. The same thing happened to my companion, Elder Echols, a couple transfers ago. He got told halfway through his mission, "yeah so you're learning Cambodian now, have fun." Luckily President Metts told me I don't have to learn because most of the Khmer people speak English. I do wonder though why he was asked to learn and not me.

 

 

The people here are awesome though, you've never met so many loving people in your life. The work is hard because, while we do work with English, our main focus is the Khmer people, and it's hard to find them, our area is the whole mission, so that's cool I can go anywhere I want, but it also makes it hard to efficiently work.

 

 

I'm still getting used to life here in Tacoma, I think I might have watched someone die yesterday, so that's neat. I'm not in Gig Harbor anymore that's for sure.

 

 

Hope all is well at home, just know I think about my friends and family a whole lot, you all inspire me to grind weather you know it or not. Love you, here's pics as always លាហើយ
