Vietnam People Floating Villiage




When we went to Seim Reap we went on a boat trip that goes into the lake there. There is a whole village that floats on the river. We saw churches, schools, basketball courts, stores and of course homes. Some of the homes had flower boxes. Most of the homes were made of dried palm leaves. We saw some children coming out of a store with a treat. The jumped in the boat and were off. Just like walking to the corner grocery store.

Trip to Angkor Wat





The first picture with Dad shows the huge trees that have taken over in some of the temples. You can see in the background a tarp that is covering the reconstruction that is taking place on some of the temples.
We found this pink temple to be in the best of condition and with beautiful carvings.
Some of the temples are Hindu and some are Budist. It is a curious thing how this all got started deep in the Cambodian Jungles.

Branch 7 Family Home Evening


This was a food chart of various protein food, you will notice that spiders, larvae, eel, frogs, grasshoppers, fish, chicken, red meat are all good protein sources.
These two boys were doing their homework which consisted of English/Cambodian words in their work book.

















There were rice noodles, fresh cut vegetables, curry sauce and chop sticks. I ate all of my food with them. Even Elder Morgan used them to eat some of his food. It was very tasty. I hope my stomach "soldiers" agree and don't fight with we about what I had eaten.
















Once a month the branch has family home evening at individual homes and have a lesson and food. We had a wonderful time with these good people. A lot of them are coming to my English class on Tuesday and Thursday. I really do love these people. They are good and we had a curry dish prepared by the sister in the flowered blouse.

More 24th





The young adults didn't have any trouble finding a hand cart- they are all over. The emphasis was on the Willy/Martin handcart companies. It was very enjoyable to participate with the saints here rejoicing in the gospel's preservation so they could enjoy it. They also realize they are pioneers in Cambodia and a lot depends on them. They enjoyed that we could do the Virginia Reel."
