The Rarities and the Oddities: Wow
http://theraritiesandtheoddities.blogspot.com/2010/10/wow.html
The Rarities and the Oddities. Friday, October 22, 2010. Wow That is really all I can say about today. BYU campus was both a rarity and an oddity. First, I walked out of my class at noon when I heard cheers and shouts coming from the middle of the quad. See the two x's on the map in the center? The quad is the white x surrounded by grass in the middle of the map). I looked over and saw a wedding. Sorry about the pictures- I had to take them with my phone and then take a picture of my phone screen.).

My Arabic Mission: Helpful Posts for Jordan Study Abroad Students
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2011/03/helpful-posts-for-jordan-study-abroad.html
Helpful Posts for Jordan Study Abroad Students. Today I was a "guest speaker" in the Jordan Fall 2011 Study Abroad prep class. I am pretty sure I terrified everyone there with my story about language exhaustion and discouragement. Hopefully some of them will look at a few of my blog entries and know that not everything was bad! Anyway, even if none of them look at this, here are a few helpful entries about culture, things to do in Jordan, language learning, and other things. Hints for Sick Travelers.

My Arabic Mission: A “District Conference” in Al-Husn
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/05/district-conference-in-al-husn.html
A “District Conference” in Al-Husn. That is how close I am to these forbidden countries! Then, I got off the bus in Irbid, caught a taxi to Al-Husn, and then called President Cotton from Al-Husn, who came and picked us up and took us to the branch house. When I got to the branch house and started explaining about our travels, Sister Cotton asked, “Have you been on a mission? Because you sound like a missionary! The moral of the story?

My Arabic Mission: Baptisms
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/09/baptisms.html
In honor of my almost-MTC date (for those who have forgotten, it is the 17th of September! And with the joy that comes from watching others enter into full membership of the church, I thought I would post about the baptisms that I witnessed while I was in Jordan. The man in front-center is Samir. I was able to help with the translating of several of the discussions that he received from the Cooks, the missionary/service couple (and district president) serving in Amman, as they did not speak Arabic. Their...

My Arabic Mission: The University of Jordan
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2010/07/university-of-jordan.html
The University of Jordan. The University of Jordan was a crazy place. Crazy because it was different in. From BYU or other American universities. First of all, everything closed down at 5pm and all the building were shut and locked. When do these people do their homework? Even the library closed pretty early. Thing is, most of the students live at home or at a home with family members (if their parents live too far away) and most of them don't have jobs (and their parents pay for their schooling). The cl...

My Arabic Mission: Hints for Sick Travellers
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/06/hints-for-sick-travellers.html
Hints for Sick Travellers. Warning: this post is about illnesses and might be too graphic for the faint of heart- or stomach). Therefore, I thought I would give hints for future travellers who would like to avoid, as much as possible, illnesses that come naturally from eating street food and living in a different country. If you do get sick and can't keep food in in any way, Coke is also another wonderful idea. After your stomach has been emptied and you have lost all sources of nutrients, Gatorade o...

The Rarities and the Oddities: Police Beat
http://theraritiesandtheoddities.blogspot.com/2010/05/police-beat.html
The Rarities and the Oddities. Thursday, May 20, 2010. I think police beat is often very, very odd. Just thought I'd share a few gems. (Please notice these are all within a month! Feb 14: A concerned mother called because her 13-year-old daughter was threatening her with a stick. Officers responded and mediated the situation. These are from February 2010. The first post in over two years! Throwing away a human skull is a felony. Wow. I just.wow. I miss Police Beat. May 20, 2010 at 6:28 PM.

The Rarities and the Oddities: Favorite Movie at Taco Bell
http://theraritiesandtheoddities.blogspot.com/2010/07/favorite-movie-at-taco-bell.html
The Rarities and the Oddities. Friday, July 9, 2010. Favorite Movie at Taco Bell. So when you get your food from Taco Bell, they always ask for your name so they can call it when your food is ready. Well, most of the time, anyway. I think the employees get bored sometimes, because one time they asked what name and I said "Breanne." And the woman behind the counter said, "We're going to call you 'bright Breanne.'". I was ok with that. It must have been alliteration Tuesday. Of course, I said Amazing Grace.
