May 7th we got the mission van and started the rounds to take the 5 local missionaries home. Sister Sok was our first one. Her Mom lives up in Battambang and isn't a member. So we went to the Church for her to have her badge removal from the District President. She was greeted by many friends. I think about 7 more joined us later. We then took her to a friend's home. She is now living in a home owned by President Sophan, one of Scott's counselors, and looking for roommates! She is doing well.
Our next stop was Elder Samat's home. We were thrilled to see his home because he has so many beautiful trees around it. They bear fruit. He said they even have pineapple plants in their yard. They served us some wonderful Mangoes and a fruit that you dip in salt. Can't remember the name of it. They also gave us some bananas. I was starving and it all tasted terrific! Brother Samat showed how he can climb a coconut tree! Then Elder Samat thought he could still do it after two years. Then Scott wanted to try it. He got about 6 inches off the ground! I guess he will leave climbing coconut trees to those more experienced!
Elder Samat is also doing well. He has been called as the Elder's Quorum President and is organizing Home Teaching. Way to go Elder Samat.
