Life is good in the
Democratic People's Republic of Cambodia. My area is especially good. Things
are happening. Well, not really. But we like to think they are. Elder Khiev
cares a lot about the people he teaches and it's contagious. We are doing well
together. It's a non-stop party. Well, we stopped twice this week to go to the
dentist and get a root canal for him. The couches at the dentist are super soft
and it really helps with personal revelation. The view is good too:
We went to the dentist
to get his mouth looked at. We were scheduling a return appointment and Elder
Khiev starts telling the lady we can come in on Wed, Fri, Sat, next Tues,
next Sat.... etc. and I'm like "What are you doing?" Apparently before his mish he got work done
on this same tooth 3 times and each time he had to go into the little Cambodian
dentist every other day to get his teeth drilled and cleaned for 2 months at a
time! He had no idea they could fix everything in just a day or two. Cambodia.
We had a party for all
the branch missionaries. Om Kalin will tear you apart with her boldness and
swearwords on the street and in lessons; but when she get to the pulpit she
melts hearts:
In Cambodia everyone
has a cell phone. But they are all in English. This means that nobody ever
texts. When nobody texts, calls become much more important. So important that
it is uncommon for anyone to ever not pick up a call. Even during lessons. It
was way weird to me at first because I didn't understand. But now it's way
normal. Cambodia is weird.
Spiritual thought: Go
watch General Conference. This Saturday and Sunday. Actual apostles
of the Lord will stand and speak to us. That's pretty much all I need to say. I
know that if you watch and listen, you will feel the truthfulness of their
messages.
I'm super stoked.
I love Cambodia.
Love,
Elder Osborne
