Questions:
Do you feel any more at home in Cambodia? It seems like you're adjusting well and learning lots of new things. It's already been six months or so, and I know you're an easy going guy, but moving to a whole new country must be stressful.
I've got a daily routine and life feels normal now. Every now and then you'll encounter a new thing that will throw you for a loop, but honestly coming back to America will be weird for the first bit. Do you feel any more at home in Cambodia? It seems like you're adjusting well and learning lots of new things. It's already been six months or so, and I know you're an easy going guy, but moving to a whole new country must be stressful.
What are some of the things you still feel like you need to work on?
Language. And learning how to make Khame food.
Plus, how are your teachings going? Are you getting lots of converts and such?
We're having pretty good success. Have people to teach most of the time and we had one baptism since I've been here.
Sooooo, what's the biggest difference between Cambodia and America?
Traffic, food, ethnicity. Motos everywhere. And people ride bikes. And traffic is crazy, no one follows the traffic laws really. Food is different. And they sell it different. The markets and seeing food carts all over the streets. And people just sell things out of their home. Ethnicity. I always do a double take when I see a white person I don't know. I just feel like everyone should be Asian.

Companionship fun
I made a pineapple stir fry today! (Cha Muhnoah)
One of the sisters investigators caught a photo of me photobombing but it looks like I'm eating this kid....
Me with the artist that made a fine portrait of me
We had a huge meeting with all the missionaries in the city for a world wide training update and Elder Lasswell told me to take a picture of him for my blog. Good to see him again.
So many missionaries...
Just biking down the street and 3 moto pizza delivery guys go by. Think, huh someone is buying a lot of pizza for a Chinese New Years party. Then they keep coming, and coming. 13 went by. I was baffled by who would buy that much pizza, and then a truck came by with a sign in the bed. It was an advertisement parade.
A different sisters investigator invited us to drink this juice together on Chinese New Years. Took a sip and thought it was really thick. Looked at the bottle, concentrate.
Did some service, took out a tree stump.
Found some fun graffiti
Lunch time!
This bent over lady is showing the dog who's boss by twisting his ear when he kept barking at us. We were there doing service for her too. Cutting off some tree branches.
I found some weeping angels...
Hope you all had a great Chinese New Years! (if you even realized, I probably wouldn't have but all of our investigators were busy partying)
Love,
- Elder Taylor
