Last weekend we took a trip to Battambang to visit the branch of the church there and also to try to get the saints to sign up for the Liahona, one of our new assignments. We found a thriving branch with a delightful branch president and his wife and child. They were such a cute couple. We were told that the branch president wanted to upgrade his job and so was considering going to some training in Washington D.C. Well the word got out and the branch members fasted and prayed that he wouldn't leave. He failed his visa interview. ;-) Here are some of the pictures we took of the seminary, institute graduation and also the scripture chases the youth were doing with brand new Bibles. This figure welcomes you to the city - the statue's name is Battambang. We also took a little trip to a "mountain" and looked at the bat cave where thousands of bats fly out every night in hunt for insects etc. We got there a little late and we saw only the young bats leaving, but there was a steady stream of them for a long time. We also enjoyed our trip up and back; we saw wonderful green fields of rice growing all along the road. It was nice to see so much green and open spaces.

I loved scripture chase. Why are the men looking over their shoulders?
I am glad you are having a nice time and helping so many. Way to go!!!
It is fun to hear of an area of strength! I am sure that you are about much good on your mission. I think that I would have liked the rice fields too!
The men are checking to see if they have the right scripture.
