Second month on a mission!

Our Second Month is history.  We have grown in our love for Heavenly Father's children in Cambodia.  They are a happy, friendly people, full of love even though they've been thru tragedy.  One of our precious missionaries, Elder Ny, has been called to the Oakland/San Francisco Mission.  He wants to get his endownments and get sealed to his parents, who were killed by the Khmer Rogue.  I told him the mission home was across from the temple.  The closest temple here is Hong Kong and its very pricey for the plane tickets.  He reports to the Provo MTC May 15 so we'll be back home before he leaves in May 2013.

We've had numerous baptisms.  Sometimes 4 at a time.  Nearly every week there's a baptism.  Today there were four more.  We love visiting the members in their humble homes/shacks.  We're learning to climb up bamboo ladders to get to their houses.  We're learning to sit on the floor although it's tough on these old bones.  We're learning a little Khmer to speak to these wonderful Saints.  They are all first generation members and have great faith.  I have to run meet the Elders right now and will post some pictures later.  We have Elder Watson coming from the Seventy on Wednesday.  Can't wait to learn.
