We had another baptism!
Souhan got baptized on Sunday night. He's the funniest kid. He sometimes wears grocery bags over his socks to keep them clean.
In other news, we had a baby shower for Souhan and Sakura's (step)mom, and it was a great success! There were tons of ward members there, and their dad came, too, which is really good because it is the first time we have been able to get him to actively participate in anything. He got lots of support and fellowship, and while we were talking about Souhan's baptism, one of the ladies told Em (the dad) that she can't wait until Em's baptism! We are hoping this is the beginning of getting him interested in learning more. He is now the only member of his family who lives at home who is not baptized.
We have a new Cambodian investigator whose name is Nyam, which is the Cambodian word for "to eat". The Spanish speaking elders found him, and he is way cool! He is already Christian, which is pretty rare for Cambodians here. He took a Book of Mormon to read, and we are going to follow up with him in the coming days.
Other than that, this week has been pretty straight forward. I got super sick yesterday, but other than that, life is good. We are setting lots of goals and working hard and praying hard to achieve them. I found a quote in my studies this week that said "Faith is a principle of action and power. Whenever we work toward a worthy goal, we exercise faith. We show our hope for something that we cannot yet see." I'm learning a lot right now about how faith and diligence relate to each other. Among other things, I think that faith that we will see the fruits of our labors motivates our diligence, and working diligently shows that we have faith that God will make up for our shortcomings.
I love you all! Have an excellent week.
Love,
Sister Lemon
