Clint Mission 99 # 17
Dear Family, 4/26/99
How is everyone doing? Thanks for the good reports. I’m glad to hear Elder North had a great farewell. Missionary #2 has now entered the field. Tell the extended family if they have to make a choice whether to write Missionary old or Missionary new, send to Elder North.
Well, after today I am about to have a come-a-part. The AP’s played taxi service for two sick Elders and other missionary doings. AP is great to be able to work with President White and to be heavily involved in the mechanics of the mission. AP is also tough as we are always on stand-by, and it is very difficult to keep things going in the area. It is great to serve in the thick of things. Fast and furious.
We continue to work with our Golden family. If we are doing anything good in our area right now it is with Sophon, Sovan, and their daughter Leinda, the other kids we will round up later. They have struggled a bit with understanding in their B of Mormon reading, it has slowed us down a bit. We are at 2.4 finished faith and repentance. Tomorrow we meet again for Baptism and Holy Ghost. Our goal is to have them committed to baptism and finished with both the 2nd and 3rd discussions this week.
I was hit by a moto again this week. However I was driving the van. I was turning into the Doctor’s office making a right hand turn and the moto tried to pass me on my inside. Good thing the rear view mirrors swing around when hit. He bounced off the side of the van. No harm done to the van or him. I was barely moving as I slowed to shift down to first to climb the lip of the driveway. However it was still scary.
Today we showed a video to a great young guy in his early twenties. He is a great guy but all we can really do is smile at each other. He has come to church the last 3 or 4 weeks in a row. He speaks very little English or Khmae but perfect Chinese. We showed him “Our Heavenly Father’s Plan” which was translated into Chinese. (The guy with the horse in the mountains is the video.) He was glued to the screen. A Chinese Book of Mormon is on order and will be here soon. He just keeps coming back. He could be the start of the Chinese program here in Cambodia. There are lots of Chinese here.
I’m out of time. Thanks again for the good report.
Love your Son, Brother, Missionary Elder Rogers
