We were invited for Family Home Evening by the brother and sister sitting on the mats June 12th, Sunday evening. This was Elder Hurwitz's last FHE with them before his departure. There were investigators present also. This community is about 20 minutes by car from Tak Mao. That is where they go to church. The Elders ride their bikes out here to this community 2 times a week. It takes about 45 minutes. They all come to church. For some it takes them the 45 minutes on bike to get to church. But they don't miss.
The Brother took charge and then asked us to share something. We each were able to get up and teach a little all in Cambodian. This was shocking since we neither one had planned or written out anything. It was a wonderful experience to teach them in their language. I had to have a little translation for a little story. Other than that it was all in Cambodian. There must have been about 5-6 families represented. Elder Haws translated when we needed translation.
Saying good bye. They wanted to know when we would come back.
They wanted their picture taken really really bad. I took the picture and then showed it to them on my camera. They were thrilled to see themselves that fast. Fun little children. I think they are brother and sister. When we first got there, they and a bunch of other little boys, were throwing something up in the air and then playing with it. I wouldnt' get out of the car until I knew what they had. I was very wise. It was a snake. Poor snake, but poor me too. I do NOT enjoy snakes. So, I told them no FHE until they put the snake up. The missionaries told them for me. They were very accomodating and gave it one last big throw in the air. I don't know if it lived or not. I didn't look. I got out of the car and walked the opposite way. It was a fun night. (after they got rid of the snake, that is.)
