New Home for a Widow in Battambang


We were up North in Battambang for two branch conferences and a Zone conference the weekend of May 8-10th. This woman lost her husband, who by the way was not the best of men. He gambled and drank away the money she earned by selling cell phones near the Thai border. He died and then her home burned down along with her business. She had no insurance and so had to move near her Mom. Her home is the little shack on the left. On the right is the new home being built. Members of the branch were helping her with the labor, but the builder made the home too big and used up the money allocated for the home. Hopefully she will get it all worked out.


She is such a good member and a good missionary. These are her two boys. They are good boys in church and mind her too. The church is helping her be a good Mom and parent.


Here is a better view of her current home and the new one going up.

This is a neighbor that the sister introduced to the church. She comes to Church on her bike. It doesn't have any brakes, so she uses her feet! She also is a very good member and has her best dress on! It is a pretty typical dress with the Khmer skirt and a white blouse. Sometimes people can afford a silk blouse that kind of looks like a jacket. Very beautiful.
