Right after I sent my last email, the four of us elders went to eat lunch. And right when we walked into the street food place, all of the 11-14 year-old school girls were staring at us. Maybe it was because of Elder Shipp's fiery red hair?
Later that day we went to the huge market near the Cambodian border and bought some cool stuff. I bought more peacock fabric to make some sweet ties. Now I just need to find someone to make them...
The local hospital doesn't hand out water to people, so the Larsons and the four of us spent a few hours handing out bottled water to patients and their families. It was great to see people so happy to just receive some water. They loved it. And it's a good thing to show that missionaries aren't so scary (some people are terrified of us). Remember to do some service this Christmas season, honestly it made all of us feel so good doing that.
We had our first baptism the other day. Her name is Sister Lie, and she is amazing. She was a friend of a church member, and when Elder Cecil and I were serving her church member friend she was interested in learning more. She has this deep desire to learn about the church, and she reads the Book of Mormon a few hours a night. She quit drinking coffee in a few weeks, and was willing to be baptized.
