Senior Couple FHE

The beginning of May Scott and I went to a FHE for the Senior couples. The couples working in Phnom Penh have a FHE every first Monday of each month. We have only been to two because of our schedule. So we were late, but got there in time for a great Easter lesson by Sister Liggett. Sister Peterson is now able to walk with crutches. She fell a couple of months ago and broke bones in both feet and had to pretty much stay in her apartment. She figured out how to do a lot of things from a wheelchair. But now she is mobile and is so grateful for a boot that my sister and Brother-in-law got for her.


We were saying goodbyer. Sister Ellingson, Elder Spencer, Elder Snyder, Sister Snyder and Scott.

A Branch Primary: 7th Branch

A serious pose to send to a Primary in Harrisville, Utah who sent them a picture and a letter.


Being silly! This is one of the larger Primaries in the mission, at least that I've seen.

Sharing Time?


Making the Transition from I think they said Gospel Instruction to a group, probably Sharing Time. They have great teachers, they are mostly in their late teens.

Just Me and My Shadow

We were taking some local missionaries home after they completed their service. As we were walking on Elder Long's driveway, I looked down and there was the absolute most perfect Peter Pan Shadow of myself that I've ever seen! If I were a Peter Pan believer, I could have sewed that shadow right to my feet and had it forever!

Our creative Office Elders and Assistants made this birthday card for me and gave it to me right on my birthday, May 15th.
L to R: Elders Schiefer, assistant, Elder Baird, office Elder (on top of Elder Heywood), Elder Heywood, Assistant, and Elder Sanford, Office Elder! That was a way happy card to receive.

About Town

Scott has purchased a bike. This one cost about $50, maybe a little more. Some of the missionaries call it a "girlie bike". Not because of the basket or the no bar in the center, but because of the shape of the handle bars. They are up high and women sit very erect on these bikes without bending over to hold onto the handles. Girlie bike or not, he has biked to a bunch of missionaries homes early in the morning. He shows up on their doorsteps in his "biking" clothes and a plastic bag with shoe shine supplies. Then he has them bring all their shoes and they have companionship study with him while he polishes their shoes. They love it.
Something else on Scott is that he gets his hair cut for $1 in an outdoor makeshift barber "shop". Those people are there every day and everyone knows that is their place of business on the sidewalk. They give him a good cut too.
You can see most anything while you are driving about town. From a foot sticking up (middle pic) to hauling glass! It's a lot of fun to discover new things you haven't seen before! We love it.
