I found a Frisbee next to a trash pile! And it glows in the dark! Also we have this one investigator, Sok Gia, he is the son of our recent convert Puu Jan, and we normally play with a hacky-sack shuttle cock thing after our lesson or do something to fellowship. Well this was an exchange day and I forgot to bring the toy, but I found the frisbee. I told him that it was my favorite and got him to try it and he is way good at it! Just right off the bat he was throwing and catching left and right one handed. Way fun time.
This was out in my small area, Preycho yesterday (Sunday). We only had the group leader and his family and us at church and then San showed up half way through Elder Schiefer speaking. Way surprised because he just moved two hours away. Anywho this was Elder Schiefer's last time seeing him because San told us he won't be able to come back till December after transfers.
Had my planner I lost a month ago returned to me. It was at the small front shop of a members house we used one time to teach an investigator in. She hires a slightly special girl to work the shop front and a couple days ago the member went into the shop and saw my planner on the floor. She asked the girl how long it'd been there and she said that she's just been looking at it everyday for a month wondering why it was there. Frankly I think it's a miracle that it wasn't completely destroyed by the rain storms we've had recently because the shop isn't totally enclosed and I'd have though it would flood some, guess not. Way cool to have it back though!
Went to teach Om Han and his family and his wife and kids were next door cutting some grass they use to make brooms. They told me to try some of the fruit on the tree, which I've had before. Then they said I should climb up and get some more. Comp said I could, so off came my shoes and up I went! Way fun to climb something again. Then we took the fruit and shared it with Om Han and everyone. I taught the story of Lehi's vision of the tree of life and the fruit on it (the gospel of Jesus Christ) and how it brings joy into our life and we desire to share it with everyone. The fruit we had just eaten served as the perfect way for him to relate the teachings to his life. Just so happens that this fruit, ply mian, is his favorite fruit. Way cool experience.
Om Han - Coolest blind guy I've ever met
First time English Class contacting for our new building! I stood on the corner of that intersection and yelled while holding the sign. Other members ran around and handed out fliers to people biking and riding their motos by. "T-nack awe-ng-g-lay. ought git luew-ey ought git tuh-lie."English class, don't think money, don't think expensive (free)
Elder Schiefer was going to go for eating 4 plates of mii cha (fried noodles). Two plates big noodles and two plates normal noodles (skinny), but they ended up giving him two big plates of noodles and two normal plates of noodles, all combined on one big serving platter. He did end up eating four plates worth, but couldn't quite finish it off.
So a few weeks ago I pulled the chair out from under Elder Lasswell as he was sitting down at a district meeting and he got me back this past week. He accidentally broke a back leg off of my desk chair, but left my chair there. So I went to sit, plop myself down, and crack fall straight on my rear, breaking the other back leg.
This little dude jumped onto my tire off the gate leaving the house.
Bat zoomed in from last week.
This dragonfly landed on my bike seat right after I got off and was eating a fly. Go dragonflies!
And to top it off our normal internet cafe was closed today, but thankfully I remembered seeing another place that I am currently emailing from.
Om Han and his family reading scriptures after we gave them a pair of glasses so they can read.
Just another wet day in Cambodia when your back gets destroyed by mud biking around. (I've put a waterbottle on mine so I don't have a problem any more)
Other than that life is tome-uh-d-aa (normal) over here. Weather is always the same. Enjoy those fall colors you people in the US.
I'll leave you with this scripture: 1 Ne 10:19 For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.
Happy Halloween!
Elder Taylor
