P-Day and in my second week!

Things are good!  I got my Christmas boxes yesterday.  I got a little sick with congestion and coughing but I'm doing better and sleeping better with a little help from Nyquil. The language is crazy.  I really like it and it sounds nasal-ly. (is that a word?) How is everything in MN?  Mountains are cool but they don't move too much.  Here is a cool story about our first investigator:

His name is Hol Mon and its last name first in Cambodia, so Mon was who we were teaching.  We were told the day before that we had to teach him how to pray and watch a video about him and prepare to teach him in one day!  It was very stressful.  We learned how to teach prayer and when we saw him right away I just wanted to tell this guy all about God and his love for us and how amazing this gospel is!!!  But I couldn't cause my Khmae was bad and I didn't know enough yet, but we taught him and I bore testimony that I know God is our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is our brother and Savior and this gospel is true and I know that if he prays and reads the scriptures Heavenly Father will testify to him that these things are true....in very slow broken Khmae...but when I was telling him, I told him over and over that I love him and Jesus Christ loves him and knows him.  I knew how to say that well so I said it alot lol.  I would have said more but I didn't know how yet.  After that, things got better and worse.  We had good lessons and not so good on other days.  My companion and I each got to help him pray and talk to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Then in the next lesson, we asked him how he felt as he prayed and he said that he could feel something in his heart and pointed at his heart and we told him that was the Holy Ghost (preahvinnianbor?resot) that's Khmae for Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit spelt in the romanized form and yes the question mark is supposed to be there!

I felt an incredible amount of love for Mon and I just wanted him to know everything about how the gospel has blessed me and my life and family and friends in the church but couldn't, but the spirit did that for me.  We got a video from Mon the next day and he told us that as he was being taught he could feel something and as he prayed it felt good and I was tearing up in class because I knew that by showing all the love I could and expressing the love of God to him in my really small knowledge of Khmae...Mon felt the spirit bear witness to him that we love him and so does Heavenly Father.  I was so happy and excited because I know that once my Khmae gets better I'll be able to teach with a love and power that I could have never even imagined!  I was so happy to get that witness that the language will come if I keep working hard every day and pray for help as I teach.  I want to treat everyone I teach with the same love and show them that I really care and want to teach to their needs and show them that I love them and so does Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It was a really spiritual experience for me and I love it. 

Well, that's all I have time to write on here.  Merry Christmas everyone!!  I love you all so much and hope as the Christmas season comes that you take time to remember why we celebrate this day and remember Jesus Christ and how important he is to all of us!
