I'm working my way through the Old Testament right now and that is an adventure! It is very interesting. There are so many details about like animal sacrifice and stuff. I can't wait to get into the latter part of it where it talks about our day and stuff.
You prepared me just fine haha. I can iron my shirts (some missionaries out here have VERY wrinkled shirts), do my laundry, fold my clothes, pump my own gas, follow a recipe (speaking of, can I get our biscuit recipe?) and I am on top of my budget which is a rarity out here. I can make my own doctor appointment and I know how to pop our hood (something my companion didn't know how to do).
It is crazy to think that when Rylan and Daniel hit the field I will be in my 6ish month mark! I got the deck. It ends up with me saying some funny sentences. It's been a blast playing. We play a lot of board games here every night during decomp before bed. It's awesome.
It has started raining. However, I have heard it is supposed to be a fairly dry winter this year so that's good.
Our mission president challenged us to reread the Book of Mormon highlighting every time it references Jesus. It has been really cool so far. I'm not even that far yet either! I'm doing it in the regular blue one. I want to have a collection of them with all the different things highlighted, like one with Jesus highlighted, one with everything about truth highlighted, one with tender mercies highlighted and so forth. It would be awesome.
I taught gospel essential last week! That was fun. I had never taught a lesson like that before. I think it went well. It made me nervous. Luckily the manual was on gospel library so I just used that. Out here I'll teach on the fly regularly.
We might have to have the Cambodian missionaries here come down to the Buddhist temple and translate for us! We have them, Samoan and Spanish missionaries here.
Love,
Nathan
