This week has gone by quicker than I expected. It was my last week of school! This week is Khmer New Year so we get the week off. Then I go to school for 2 days, and then us seniors are given a week long study leave until exams. So technically, I only have 2 more days of real school left! Not bad, eh?! It's really weird to think that in 2 more days I will be done with grade school. I don't know, it's just weird. But, I am super excited!
I had a pretty hefty week with tests and studying, so I spent a lot of time down in my "cave" (my bedroom). On Friday we had a large group of missionaries going home. We had a dinner for them and then a devotional. I usually don't go to the devotional, but I thought I would this time-I want to see at least one before I go. It was a neat meeting. Mom and dad both gave some very neat thoughts and the Spirit was very strong. The missionaries also bore their testimonies. I then stayed for the "red carpet" ceremony. I have to admit, I am a little sad to see this group go. And yes, that is because I have crushes on several of them! :) They are so mature in the Gospel and add to that, they are very handsome! Okay, so there you go, I do have crushes on the missionaries!! I then proceeded to the kitchen and, wait for it........I washed 236 DISHES by myself!!!!!! Yup, all 236 of them spotless and shining! I have to say, my singing voice is improving quite nicely. I like to sing Hymns while washing to help pass the time. I really enjoy being able to give service in this way. There's not much I can do here, but I can help to lessen mom and dad's load. I'll be sad when I can't do these little acts of service for them anymore; they truly make my day! It was a testimony builder for me of service in that when we go into it with a willing heart and mind, we will receive such tremendous gifts of peace and joy!
I had a really good lesson in seminary yesterday. Usually there are a lot of Khmer's that come to get better at English so the senior couple who teaches usually speaks slow and they don't go very deep into the doctrine. Since there were only a few of us yesterday that could understand English well, they went a little faster and deeper, so that was fun. I was supposed to teach a dance class at the elementary after, but no one showed up so I went home. I also went swimming at one of the senior couples apartments. It was pretty fun, but I mostly just felt guilty about not studying so I didn't stay long (not that I did homework when I got home though!). I made a really yummy dinner last night too. Dad said it was "restaurant worthy", so that made me feel good.
That's it for this week! Have a fantastic week!
Love,
