USE THE CHAIR!

That is a direct quote from Shrek, everyone. 

I learned a fact this week. I learned that the shortest people in the world as a whole are Cambodians. 

This week was hilarious. We took time to call every single member, and call every single less active member who hasn't come to church in forever. And none of them had time to meet us. I want to meet the member so I can see if there is any way I can help. I also want to pump them up to share the gospel with their friends. I know that is the most effective way to do missionary work. BUT NOT IF THE MEMBER WON'T MEET YOU. So me and my adorable Cambo Compy hit the streets and just talked to randos all day everyday. Lol it was rough. But way fun. 

The highlight of the week was when I thought our investigator was breaking up with us. His name is Two One. He stopped calling us and he skipped church a couple times. I would call him and he wouldn't answer. So I thought he was breaking up with us, and I fell into a state of depression. I KNOW those of you who's lovers break up with you have felt the same way.

But listen to this. This is something else I'm sure a lot of you have experienced. He wasn't actually breaking up. He just got a job at Dominoes pizza. DARN YOU DOMINOES!!!! So he didn't actually want to break up, but he is just a busy pizza dude now. But while I was in my state of depression because I THOUGHT he wanted to break up, I would just lay on the floor and sing "For Good" from Wicked to myself. 

I'll be getting a new companion named Elder hunt from San Diego, California soon. So watch out for pictures. I'm gonna miss Elder Miah because he is aweosme. He's going to merry old England tomorrow. I think he's flying a nimbus 2000 to get there. 

See yah later, farts.

My companion would be perfectly fine in this world if both his arms got chopped off


And I would be the one to chop them off 


But i had to pass on the mask, just as every great hero does. 


I loved discovering my companions face as he cleans his ears 


and being able to re-discover it over and over again everyday 


The girl on fire


We also taught a member how to make salad this morning


And it was so froggy fresh

Who knew? On the plane we flew.

Hehehehhehehehehehe

On Wednesday I dropped of ole' Elder Grimaud to pick up my new compy Elder Miah. And now I just want to tell you a little  bit about him. 

Elder Miah was born in Cambodia, but moved to Thailand 10 years ago. He lived in Thailand for 10 years, where he also learned Laos (shout out to Mischief. Elder Miah is currently teaching me how to sing in Laos). He was baptized two years ago, and he wasn't actually called to serve in Cambodia. he was called to serve in the London, south mission. So I am actually only his companion for one more week. He heads to London next week. 

His English is one of the funniest things of my life. His favorite song to sing is "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa, but he only knows the first four words "Who knew? On the plane we flew" and he sings it over and over and over. 

He is super ripped, but he looks at himself in the mirror, and then he looks at me and says "I am so small and my face is so old" 

I am not sure what is going to happen to me next week when Elder Miah flies off to good ole' Britain, but I'll let you know next week what happens to me. Have fun all of you trinkers in the colonies! 

Love,
Elder Slave 


I spy something (or someone) white... Can you find it? It might be hard to find because there's not much white.

Lol


Our random service project of the week was helping this guy pile up bags of leaves on his moto that he will take to the market and sell.
