Well, we heard about the election....super sad on the other side of the world too.  I was super bummed but I guess things will go on.  Things are good, this week I was a little sick and rested on Tuesday and got better I think because I took a round of antibiotics just to help my system and I think I might do that on a regular basis just to keep healthy.  We had a good time last pday and I got a new suit that I'm going to pick up today.  We had a baptism on Saturday and Thursday was zone conference and guess who had to do the live translation into Khmae...ya, I did.  Haha, it was super cool and a lot of fun and funny too cause I got to say funny stuff to the Khmae Elders and Sisters that used the headphones and it was fun.  Zone conference was good too and I wrote more about that in my letter. 

I don't think they know much about Christmas but we are having a huge whole country Christmas thing that our church is throwing and inviting the King to come and I'm going to be singing with the choir so that will be in December and then our district is doing a Christmas party and it should be a fun month.  Then I think there is a sports day coming up for the water festival in Cambodia.  Look it up, it's a big boat race.  It's just hot right now and it kind of stopped raining already here.  It rained yesterday but just a little and then last night a little.  The branch is good and we are having growth and doing a lot of good work.  My comp is good and still learning the language.  My language is doing really good, I'm just working on talking like them and speaking clearly and learning the big words that make me look smart, haha!  I translate a lot for the senior couple in the city here so its good.  We have some super cool investigators now.  One is the daughter of a member I know in Kampon Thom so that was super awesome and I love her mom a ton and it's super cool.  We have some super awesome people getting baptized really soon and I'm just happy for the area and the chance to serve here. 

You asked me about food lately....I've had dog, it's pretty good but kinda salty.  I had frog the other day and it's pretty good and they have the deep frie d meats place right next to my house and it's awesome!  I love it!  I have people that know me now in the area and I buy stuff from them regularly now.  Super fun - Cambodia is a great place!  They love the nose!!
