On the road to Battambong, Scott was driving. I usually stay awake, but this time I was resting. I opened my eyes to see a water buffalo trying to keep up with us. Actually he was heading right towards the car as he was trying to cross the road. I guess he was blind or something. Anyway, Scott braked, as it tried to run in front of us. It hit the driver's side, slid on it's back in front of the van, rolled over, and landed on the back with all fours sticking up. He looked at us, like What just happened here? Or what did you do to me. Then he got up and ran away! We were relieved that it didn't bounce off the windshield!
We went around the Khites (you know, I'm not actually sure how to spell that word. That's how you say it anyway! :) ) with the Assistants January 24th through the 30th. The first 5 days we did Specialized Trainings in all four towns where we have missionaries. This was about 24 hours in each location. We taught them about Revelation Through Prayer and how to teach investigators to recognize the role prayer has in their conversion and gaining a testimony. The first stop was Battambong. Afterwards we went to a restaurant, White Rose, to eat. We all ate Dutch! The bottom picture is of Elders Samat, Va, James, Weller, Christian and Jensen. The top is similar. The middle are three of our wonderful sisters: Sisters Robertson, Tay, and Hildenbrand, Now two of them are training. All excellent sisters And they all got along really well. I went teaching with them afterwards and we taught a handicapped lady in her wheelchair, but of course, I had forgotten my camera! That particular sister rides in a special hand pedal wheelchair about 45 minutes to 60 minutes to church!
Our next stop was Siem Reap and we went out teaching after our training on prayer with the Elders here. The first ones we went with were Elders Conner and Kong. The middle picture shows the path to the bottom right hand corner's home. We are pictured here on paths going to another home in this kind of jungle/forest. The bottom picture right is a terrific family that live in this most humble home which can be seen int eh middle picture where the Elders are going in. The woman is a very good member and also her son, but not her husband. The missionaries and us taught him. He is a very shy man but agreed to let us take a picture. The left bottom corner is Elder Kong, one of our terrific Cambodian missionaries.
The sister whose husband we taught escorted us to her neighbor's home where there was a big group waiting. Scott saw the man pumping and pumping the water so he could bathe/shower with a bucket, so he and Elder Kong tried to help pump the water. The man was really appreciative. He had so many questions about the Church and we had to go so the Elders returned to answer his questions. The top right hand corner is Elders Matthews, one of our assistants, Weller and Meas. We are at a member's home. You can see her better in the bottom picture. She is wheelchair bound, but has two sewing machines and makes fancy wedding and party skirts and tops. So, she makes a good living. We were teaching the older woman in the backgroun how to pray. The missionaries had taught her alot about prayer, but she said she just couldnt' remember. She eventually said the closing prayer. It was a very sweet humble prayer and she got everything in it that she needed to say.
