Visits with Elder Wun in Kampong Cham

It's become a tradition that when an Area Seventy visits a district for district conference or a General Authority, we always plan on visiting families that perhaps a visit would strengthen them. After driving down a few dusty lanes, turning right, then left, we were told by the branch president to park the Prado and walk up this little pathway. We were so surprised to see a little community of maybe 5 homes, all members which included 3 sisters and their families. One of these sisters sews. She makes shorts to sell at the market for 6,000 riel which is $1.50. She has this serger to secure her seams and works it so fast. There is no electricity for her machines so she has the tread machine where she moves the pedal back and forth. She sews fast. I was amazed. I talked her into sewing for me while I took the picture.

Elder Wun was so interested in their home. It has three sides and then open where he is standing. They have a picture of the Hong Kong Temple hanging on one of their posts.

Inside the cabinet, Elder Wun was pointing out to us was their Book of Mormon and other church materials they wanted to protect. He was very pleased

We got this group picture after we had a prayer with them. Very sweet people. Scott have ties to two of them. The man on the right is the district President, President Soy. He is a very good District President. Also on the back left is President Sorin, 3rd branch president and also the branch president of the first branch. He and his wife are at the Hong Kong Temple this week getting sealed and receiving their endowment. The sister standing by the District President came to the conference the next day. The rest say that they have to work, or they are just out of the habit of going. I hope they come back, they are very, very good people and we loved them.
