Kampong Cham Temple Interviews and visits.

We drove on to Kampong Cham from Kampong Thom so Scott could do two final temple interviews and we could visit branches one and two. They all just were so glad we came and followed us out to the car when we left. The sisters really loved Varci and made her feel so welcome, she was sad to leave.
The room where we stayed has quite ornate beds. I think Varci was a little more impressed with it than was Scott. We drove just out of Kampong Cham in a community called Cut (say Jute)where Scott interviewed this wonderful family for the Temple on this August temple trip. The brother went to study in Russia and speaks Russian, so he and Varci enjoyed communicating in Russian, not Cambodian. He teaches school and also knows a little English. Their little boys are so, so well behaved. I was impressed. By the way, we had been in a rainstorm and you can tell by my hair! She had little fruits for us to take home with us. We ate it all. In the hotel they brought us a roll away, but no sheets because they said they were only for the big beds, but we said that was okay. They were insistent there were no sheets, but brought extra towels for Varci's blankets. Scott finally had them take them to where they got the sheets. That was in the laundry room and we finally got the bed made. The sister holding the baby blanket with me knows how to crochet and she told me I was crocheting crooked and showed me how to make it go straight. It was very helpful and I appreciated her. Her and her husband also are going with the August group to the temple. Her husband is the branch president of the first branch.

Sunday, after our meetings there in Kampong Cham, we went to visit the sister in white's home. Her name is Nih (say knee). She has been a member for about 3 months and is just a whirlwind. She goes to all of her neighbors and tells them about the church. The baptism above is her nephew. So far, I think she is responsible for maybe 10 baptisms there. She is a terrific member missionary and is a no nonsense person with a pleasant way about her. The middle picture is her family. Three of her five children are pictured. They live in the two homes shown here. Wonderful woman!
