More random stuff from Cambodia

She and her sister sit and sew sequins on fancy dresses all day long.  Every little  bright thing on the dress as 1 to 3 stitches in it.  Makes us tired just looking at it.

Use every inch of your 3 wheeled bicycle

Bocha which in Khmer means blessing.  He and I are real buddies and he  knows the Bogh  high 5 with both hands and runs and does that with me everytime he sees me.

Bocha's family.  Oldest son on the R got home from his mission not too long ago.  Girl on the L has helped us a lot to do family history and types it in Khmer.  She is really planning on a mission too.

He ate the whole thing so Mom Thomas don't worry about him losing weight over here.  We are so glad he got to come here first so we could spend some time with him.  He is an awesome elder and doing a great job.

Brings back memories of working for Evan L

Passing out school bags to primary school kids.  They just loved it and so did we.

Our handsome Deemong with his mission call.  He is our interpreter and  leaves for his mission 2 days after we  leave to go home.

Deemong and family.  His mom and sister sew most of the bags for the school kits and Biset in the front keeps us all laughing.  They are really a great family.  Deemong had just opened his mission call.
The boy on the L was baptized a few months ago so he got to baptize his little brother.  His father is now learning also.  These are two really great kids.
Well drilled by LDSC and helped to be paid for by your humanitarian  contributions.  The money is really well spent and goes to help the most people whether they are members or not.
They post a sign like this at every well and we have helped do a  lot of them and it really changes lives.  Just  think water is right in the back yard not down in the river.
Doing family history with Dy and his family.  They are going to the temple in August and are so excited.

2 handsome elders with 5 baptisms this day.

Ming Nie.  We have never went to visit her that she was not reading the  Book of Mormon.  She is an amazing story how she joined the church and does so much to help the missionaries.


This is a kid just getting over the chicken poxs.  We had an epidemic here and even one of the Khmer Sisters got them, but she was way to embarrassed to let me take her picture.  Notice the rotten teeth





Two wet elders.  This is the best according to Elder Thomas
