Many Missionaries had worked hard to deep clean their homes so they could get ice-cream. And these Battambang sisters certainly earned that. They have a big home and it all was spit spot. I could have eaten on the floor. So, I told them I would put them on my blog. Sister Tay above and Sister Um at the top. Tehy just did a great job and even I wouldn't have minded living in that home with them.
Our Kampong Cham Zone sang I Know that My Redeemer Lives for Scott's birthday. It was their testimony to him and it was wonderful. Our two assistants, Elders Heywood and Schiefer in the center joined them. Going from Left to Right: Elder Thomas, Sister Thalman, Elder Nicosia, Elders Thalman, Um Haem, Chum, Assistants, Salmon and Sisters Chheung and Nouer.
Sister Thalman made a carrot cake with carmel frosting and lit the candles. They put on as many as they could find for his 61st birthday. The cake, by the way was delicious. Sister Houser in Kampong Thom also made a homemade carrot cake with fresh pineapple for a day before birthday cake. It was equally wonderful. Thank you Senior Sisters for making things special for everyone!
They then sang Happy Birthday and gave him a gift of a Cambodian Silk clothes carrier. Beautiful. Sorry for the blurry picture. I need to learn to wait until it focuses before I take the picture.
The assistants and office elders created this special birthday picture for Scott. They did move Scott's hand in the position they wanted and added a jacket in case you can't tell. They were so excited to give this to him. It's a treasure!
That picture is a treasure for sure! I love it! What creative elders you guys have. Glad everyone made Dad's birthday so special.
