We had a special dinner for all District Presidents and wives, mission presidency, mission clerk and executive secretary on Friday, January 14th. Scott thought it would be good to invite the Minister of Cults and Religions and his number 2 and 3 people so they could see how many Cambodian leaders we have in the Church here. They accepted. The night of the event the two other ministers came, but Min Kinh was running a little late. So we waited, but then he got lost coming here and we were saddened because he couldnt' make it. We had moved the dining chairs and some tables downstairs for Min Kinh's health, but it ended up being a good thing because we all could sit at the same table. The above floral arrangements were taken care of my Elder Pinvises, one of our Office Elders. He told the floral lady what he wanted and what colors and she did the rest. I love them. All fresh flowers. We gave them to the ministers that came.
The lady on the left in the blue and below with me is the number 2 person in the ministry of cults and relgions. Whenever Min Kinh is out of town, she takes over. We get along very well with her. She is a really sweet woman and she likes it when we try to speak Cambodian. They both talked and we feel like there are warm feelings there for the church and the good things we do. Her name is Udaa wun (say one) and his is Um Dari. I probably have the spellings all wrong. Um Dari's wife is in Canada visiting so he was happy to get a good meal.
Here we are with Um Dari and Uudaa Wun (spelling?)
My end of the table with President Eng Bun Huout and his wife and Sam Saphon and his wife and the two government ministers. Everyone is eating or have eaten a cinammon roll I made for them. This is the first time they have ever tasted them. Most liked them, some didn't.

The other end of the table. Tay Phirum and his wife, Srey, and the four District Presidents and wives in order after Tay: Presidents An Tham (South District), Bunno (Battambang District), Chanta (North District, Soy (Kampung Cham). At the table in the distance are Elder and Sister Curtis and Kim Sang and his wife. Kim Sang is the new Service Center Manager. We have always had a missionary couple managing the service center and Kim Sang is the first Cambodian to take over the job! He will do a great job.
The whole group. I've pretty much named them in the above pictures. So, any questions feel free to ask!
