The miracle of Family History

Elder Liggett helping members and non member do family history in Chup with a wireless modem on a church owned laptop.  Not a sign of  wi fi  signal for miles around and the computer worked perfectly.
"I can envision the day when members of the church will be able to set in their own homes and do geneology. "
Pres Harold B. Lee
EVEN IN CAMBODIA OF ALL PLACES
Where no records have been kept and 1/3 of the population was killed by a vicious regime 40 years ago and the work will still get done.  It can now even be typed in Khmer and when they go to the temple their cards will be in their own language so they can read and understand it.
WHAT A MIRACLE!!!!!

Vuthie on Elder Liggetts L is not a member.  His wife is preparing to go  to the temple in Aug.  He has shown no interest in the church at all since we have been here, but this really got his attention.

Here you can see we are helping Chhith Borey put family names in so she can do their work when she goes to the temple.

Deemong helping Borey type in Khmer  (74 letters in the alphabet and the regular keyboard works if the templates are installed on the computer sometimes you have to hold down 3 keys to get the right letter, but it works

Look how interested

Elder Liggetts grin says it all.

Vuthie, Boreys' husband, typing in his families names.  He really loved doing this.  There was a wonderful spirit there that night.  He is one of 12 siblings and every one but him were killed by Pol Pot in the 70's.  I know we all felt the spirit of Elijah that night and the interesting thing to me is look at the pictures.  The one above my head is Vuthie's father who just died in Jan at age 94, the picture of the Savior above Borey and the Hong Kong Temple above Deemong.
Even with no records kept church leaders have said they will be able to get this important work done.  All they have to have is their name as best as they can remember a birth year and death year... the best they can remember and the temple work can be done.  How amazing to sit and watch this happen!!!!!
