Elder Taylor in Cambodia: Week 20: So Many Photos Picking is Hard...

Had a very full week. Here come the photo highlights:

Got my hair cut today. Elder Schiefer went for a nail cleaning face cleaning cucumber mask, and ear cleaning. Way funny to watch.

Found this lady with the coolest monkey as we were leaving the market. I asked if I could take a picture and then she just put it on me. Coolest thing! I would love to have a monkey that was that cute and chill. It got scared of us white people after me though and refused to let anyone else hold it.

Had some fun by ourselves this P-day morning. We rented out a soccer field ($2.50 an hour, gotta love Cambodian prices) and played a bit with a soccer ball, the frisbee I found the other week, a shuttle cock that you kick like a hackysack, and played 4 square using the circle in the middle of the field.

The super cute kid that lives with our branch president. (Not birth child but he is raising him as pretty much his own) The kid fell asleep like 5 minutes after this photo. Funny guy.

This Saturday was a big day of service. We did a service project in the morning, went to the first baptism in the new building, and did another service project for someone in another elders area. First we were going to build a chicken house, but it took so much work we just ended up setting the 4 pillar foundation. Which is the hardest part. Also we had to dig up one of them with other cement posts, rocks, and scorpions on top. Quite the interesting project. Then in the evening we waded into another mud field similar to the rice field, but this one was growing a vine. We weeded out all the other non vine plants and they came up real easily. Way fun.

Also this lady is 92 and still kicking.

Crazy big, cool looking frog I found coming home one night.

Pizza is always the right answer for what to eat after zone training.

Zone leader and his fabulously selected quote of the meeting.

I got doped (rode a dope seat, got biked) on my own bike since I was lighter than the other elder. First time and it went quite well. Just got a little sore in the upper leg area.

Same place as picked fruit last time but this time they had this cool bamboo pole that was really good for picking the fruit. No tree climbing needed.

Had a big meeting where people came up from the city, Phnom Penh, to teach the members how to clean the new building. First time a lot of them have seen a vacuum cleaner and this weird mop/polisher contraption they had (I've never seen one like it either)

Happy sunrise from Cambodia!

Found a sign that has my name on it! My name sounds really close to heart and the sound is in a lot of words.

Halloween outfit and photos. We messed up and didn't get a group photo. We had the party at the senior couples house and they invited the neighbor kids over and we taught them how to trick or treat!
