November 19 and 20 we went with Elder Subandriyo to Kampong Cham so that he could do Priesthood Training. Scott also taught, but I was off the hook this time. While there we witnessed two baptisms, and this young man is one of them. He was a pretty happy guy.
We also divided up to do some family visits in the morning. Elder Subandriyo rides the moto with President Sorin of the 3rd branch.
We visited in the 2nd Branch with President Soy We went to a Returned Missionary's home to visit with him and his parents. He comes to church pretty good, but his parents not. His Dad came to all the meetings after we visited with him. We were quite surprised because his Mom looked like maybe she would come.
They have another son, who is tied up in the background. He has a mental illness and runs away and bites people. He got worse and worse and they cannot afford a hospital or care for him, so tie him up in back of their home.
This is some of their garden that they grow for cash crops. It is very tidy and well cared for. They also have quite a bit of property in the back. We walked by her son who was chained up. I smiled at him, but didn't know he reaches out and bites people until after we were finished looking at the property. When we got in the car, a member of the branch who was with us, told me! Whew! Glad he left me alone!
This next family live a little ways out. All nice people, but quite non committal to come. They said the would, but I don't recall seeing them to the Sunday meeting. However, we felt good about visiting with them.
