Update 80+: Christmas Came and Now the New Years is Here and now transfers have come...

Hello everybody! This is Burny. How art thou this fine day? I was given especial permission to write Elder Taylor's weekly email, but I don't really know what he did, so I will let him have the keyboard back now.

Thank for our special guest this week^^. Elder Burnett just popped into the office as I was starting this and asked what he could do to help, so I gave him free reign of the keyboard. 

I hope everyone's Christmas was fantastic and thank you to everyone who sent me Christmas notes! 

*a few weeks later*

Well, I never finished the above email, but no point starting a new draft. 

Vivian got baptized! 

Transfers have come and gone and I am now in Tuolsengkay ទួលសង្កែ up in north stake (elder Cox replaced me in the office; for those of you long time readers you'll remember that we were companions before in Jim Gau Moon. I inherited the office spot from my trainer Schiefer, and now my kind of son Cox inherits it from me). I am finishing training Elder Phork (said poke) since his first trainer just finished his mission. He is an excellent missionary though and I feel like I'm being trained sometimes since I'm just getting out of the office after 7 and a half months. He knows the people, the area, the language, I just give input on what to do sometimes since I've been a missionary longer. It was a bit rough starting back into things, but now my Khmer is picking up again and the rust is falling off. Really helpful having a native companion, we just speak Khmer all day except evenings and an hour of language study. 

So far we have a couple investigators, no one progressing too far. They did just have a baptism though last week, so we've got an RC named Makara មករា who is solid. Now we have the task to get out there, go to work, and find people who will accept Christ gospel in their life. 

Sorry this email is super weird.. 

Love yall!

Cool fact, there are monkeys in my part of my new area that climb on the power lines.
