A Missionary Pic and Elder Chum Leaves


Sister Sparks and her companion, Sister Yen that Sister Sparks is training. Sister Yen is from one of the Viet branches here in the city. WE are grateful to have her here with us. The other new Vietnamese sisters (3) are also being trained, but will return to Vietnam Oct 21st. These two sisters were in the mission home, I had my camera and just decided to take their picture. They are great sisters.

Elder Chum left for home on September 19th. We had him for a special lunch and devotional afterward. Then he walked the Red Carpet. However. . . after walking the Red Carpet, he decided he wanted to know what it would be like to be rolled in the Red Carpet. So. . . . he got his wish!

President Smedley said, Okay go for it. So Elder Chum laid down and he got rolled up. He thought it was great fun!
Then we took him home in this massive rain storm. Luckily his home is right off one of the main roads in Takhamao. It's hard to describe what it looked like, but it filled the tubs up with water within minutes. Elder Chum's cousin kept walking over and playing in it as it came off the tarp from their home. His Mom doesn't have a front door and the tarp keeps the weather out.
When Scott went to sit down, he got up fast and gave a little, OUCH! In closer examination Elder Chum's Mom had sat a hot teapot full of water and Scott sat right next to it. So they are laughing at him. In fact we were all laughing, it was quite funny. Elder Chum poses with Elder Elder. Elder Chum was one of our Zone Leaders and a very good missionary. He now has to find a job, not only for school, but to help his Mom. When he gets a job, he can apply for a PEF loan. We just love this young man. He also has great English skills.
