We made a train with the little Khmae kids:

Then Lee and Alex bought Elder Reeves an ice cream cake:
Then we got on the sketchiest ferris wheel of all time:
Tuesday
We took a bus all day to Phnom Penh.
Its a 7 hour bus ride with old Khmae music blasting the whole way.
We slept at the mission home with a bunch of other people.

Wednesday
We had Mission Leadership Council (MLC). From 8am-2pm I was able to sit in a council with all the coolest missionaries in the mission. I was the youngest Elder there and I felt super out of place because all the other missionaries were super good and I have no idea what I'm doing. We talked a lot about repentance and how the reason many converts become less active is because they don't really know how to repent.
Thursday
We took the bus home:
Friday
We prepped for Zone training. We met our branch president and a couple of other members just to introduce ourselves. We are basically white-washing because I've only been here for 2 weeks.
Saturday
We taught a 3 hour zone training meeting.
All the missionaries from Siem Reap and Pursat came to listen to Elder Asay and I train them.

We taught about contacting and repentance.
Contacting is essential for success in an area. If you want more people to teach, talk to more people. Contacting is also a way to show your faith. If you are working hard and talking to as many people as you can then Heavenly Father will see that and he will bless you in other ways.Repentance is the second step in the Gospel of Christ. We have to teach our investigators to repent before they receive baptism. In order to do that though, we ourselves have to learn how to repent. We committed our zone to think of one thing they can repent of and make a plan to change.
Even though Asay and I are both new I think it went pretty well.
Sunday
Apparently I ate a bad burger on Saturday. So we stayed home all day. Sucks.
That is my missionary week. Hope you like it.
Merry Christmas:
Love,
Elder Osborne
