Zone Conference Activity: Ankgor Wat

On October 27th, 2010, We brought three zones together for this zone conference: Kampong Cham, Battambang, and Siem Reap. Most of these missionaries had not seen these amazing ancient temples. Angkor is the most famous, but the others are also very fascinating. The missionaries decided they wanted to go at 5;30 a.m. to see the sunrise which was at 5:45, but by the time all got there, it was closer to 6:00 a.m. Still, the pictures we got and how the sun reflected on the buildings was an adventure that we hadn't had yet and this was Scott and mine, third time there. I haven't tired of it yet. The water lilies were just off the long bridge over the moat walking towards the Wat. The missionary is Elder Huon and I loved how he wears his Kromah around his neck to warrant off the sweat. However going early in the morning, the weather was wonderful and even refreshing. I tried to catch the sun coming up, but my camera doesnt' do it justice.
Above also are pretty much most of the 3 zones. Elders Hurwitz and Matthews were stuck riding with President Smedley and I. They are our assistants.

Ahh! my favorite picture above. The wat at sunrise! My camera did better when I put it on landscape. The Housers in the left hand corner are our senior leadership couple over Kampong Thom and Siem Reap. Hard workers and pleasant to be around! The Elders posing in the entrance to Angkor Wat are Elders Weller, Donnelson, Schiefer, and James. Elder Donnelson just left to go home today, November 8, 2010. We will miss him.

Scott was doing missionary work with a couple who had a lot of questions about all the young men in white shirts and ties. The Thalmans are the Senior couple in Kampong Cham and are always so positive and happy about what they do. Elder Thalman always has a fun story to tell. If you look really close in the close up of the Wat, there is one green plant growing out of the moss on the wat. The Kampong Cham Zone top right hand corner: Elders Cope, Haws, Zabriskie and Heywood. Sisters: Essma and Noeur.

And in the right hand corner starring: President and Sister Smedley . You don't seem me very often without my trusty water bottle. Cambodia is a country where you have to drink alot of water!
