Wyoming

So the other day I was driving through Wyoming, as I am wont to do, when I turned on the radio. Of course, because it is rural Wyoming, finding a radio station is difficult, but eventually I did.

I thought I had stumbled onto Jeffery R. Holland giving a talk, so I listened.

The topic was the translation of the Bible into Burmese. Well, about that point I realized it probably wasn't Elder Holland, but I figured because it had to do with Southeast Asia I would keep listening. And I was bored. And I couldn't find another radio station.

The story was of a man named Adoniram Judson, who spent a great deal of his life preaching in Burma in the 1820s, 30s, and so forth until he died of some jungle fever. He was a Baptist preacher.

It was fascinating. Or maybe it was just Wyoming. One can never tell.
And that's all I have to say about that.
