We're Mormon, and while that's not really a focus of this blog, it's a
pretty big part of my life, although it's weird to be a Mormon in a
place like Kyrgyzstan. I didn't know it then, but it was a lot easier
when we lived here in 2005 because there was another expat LDS family, the laws were less strict, and the Area Presidency was far more involved in Kyrgyzstan.
This time we're really isolated, there is almost zero contact
with any church authority, and expats/foreign religions seem be interpreting the
current law on religion so narrowly that no one can do anything. It's
also interesting navigating the Word of Wisdom, figuring out how Islam works here, and generally figuring what it means to be a Mormon when you have no contact or support from the Church. If you've been in a similar situation, I'd love to hear from you. amirabook@gmail.com
