Well, what can I say? For lack of a better word, I'm "shocked," people read my blog. Well anyways, today I met a guy who was the first MTC missionary to Cambodia, and I found out some very interesting things about cambodian people.
First off, they don't ever touch each other's shoulders or heads. Instead of putting their arm around you or shaking your hand to show their friendship, they'll hold your hand. However the women are excluded from this practice, so if I'm teaching a family the lessons, and they feel the spirit, the father just might grab and hold my hand during the lesson. (freaky uh?)
Oh and another thing, whenever they point at something, or give directions, they point with their lips, like they would a kiss. haha, that's hilarious I think.
Oh and if you didn't know, my farewell is on the 23rd of March at 9:00 at the Canal Drive building in Lindon. And I have the awesome topic of "How Christ Frees us Through the Atonement." So hopefully you can make it, because it'll be . . . . hopefully uplifiting :)
So to all you who read the previous, Good (morning, afternoon, night), and Good luck!
-Danny
Oh and if all of you would be so kind, please let me read your blogs (it makes me feel included :) ).
