On our way to the airport with Elder Perkins and Elder Ho. We stopped at the Chheum's home to visit. They were very gracious and kind to us and gave us water! They were waiting for us the day before and we ran out of time, so we visited on Sunday, November 22nd.
The Chheum family except the young man in front is a famly friend. He is a returned missionary and speaks English really well, so he was our interpreter.
The family listening to Elder Perkins share a scripture. Notice how they gave us the chairs and they sat on the floor. This is so typical of the Cambodian people that are members and those being taught. So sweet and kind.
President and Sister Chheum have 8 children. They all joined the Church 5 years ago. He is now Branch President and she is a Relief Society teacher. Three of their children have served or are serving missions and one is going as soon as his brother, who is one of our missionaries, comes home. This is in their main meeting room.
This is the whole family. We are on the bottom floor. The young man in the green is going to serve a mission as soon as his brother gets home from his. The brother right behind him got sick and almost died right before they joined the Church. He was almost unconscious and the sister missionaries came by, and they got the Elders to administer to him. The next day, he was well!His wife and little boy are in front. The young woman on the right to me, in the black dress has also been on a mission and is now the district YW President.
Elder Perkins and President and Sister Chheum. We had a hard time getting her to smile!
This is our newest building going up. It is in Tacamao and President Chheum is the Branch President here.
