On my way to this internet shop I was actually just doing math to try and figure out if two 6 in pizzas are equal in area to a 12in pizza. .. pizza's important yo.
They just opened up a Costco here, well, practically. It's a Thai chain called Macros, but it is pretty much an Asian Costco. Pretty far though, next to the new AEON construction site in TukThlaa. We biked there this morning and it was so weird because I had biked through there a year ago and it was just an empty lot, and now there is a giant building.
Christmas slide show: https://drive.google.com/file/ d/1- Vznh4BAp2YlIpGTfHONMBYwx8sEyMU g/viewj I put this together for the mission while I was in the office. It's our mission's visual summary of 2017, enjoy!
Other than that life is staying real busy with random stuff happening every day. Elder Selman is passing a kidney stone so that's fun. The house is him, Russel, me, and Phork. Quite the time. Anywho, best wishes from Cambodia!

Band! I was just listening to some instrumental music this week and was thinking about how much I miss music and I hadn't really realized it. You've still got it? Yes! That means there is hope for me! Haha, there is a music school in my area and I thought about going and asking if they have a tuba I could play... (doing marching band when I get back, but I wont have practiced in two years..)

I am indeed finally out! The great escape I suppose. It is very weird. I forget if I said this in my general email last week, but it's kind of like ending my mission I'm guessing. I left home, got used to missionary life, and I'm going to have to come back and adjust. Well, I left the normal missionary work, adjusted to the office, now I've left and have to adjust to normal missionary life again. Some parts have been clunky, but we're getting there. It's helps that my companion is the best ever, I'm supposed to be finishing his training, but he doesn't even need it. Helps me get back in the groove that I can rely on him too.
Woah, that's a really busy schedule. "And no more happiness!" (my sister can't have dairy anymore. Let us take a moment of silence...) Well, I just bought ice cream today to take home and put in the freezer for the first time in Cambodia, so I'll enjoy it in your stead :) ------------------------------
Other that that, one cool experience to share from this morning. We stopped by a little shop to buy an SD card reader for Elder Phork and as I was waiting a man came over and started talking to me and pretty much contacted me. Where do you live? How long have you been here? I told him my name and he read "Jesus Christ" on my nametag and said "Oh, I'm Christian too!" Then after inviting him to learn he turned us down. We invited him to church and he said he might come try it out and then asked for our number. It'll be interesting to see if he goes anywhere.
The work rolls on!
