Elder & Sister Greer are the first missionaries we have had to say "goodbye" to. They left to return home end of July after having served faithfully for the last six months in Siam Reap. But really they have been on a mission for over 3 years-- also serving in Saudi Arabia and one other country I'm forgetting. Just the last six months was here in Cambodia. They are wonderful and did a fantastic work in Siam Reap. We will miss them! We do not have a replacement couple for Siam Reap yet.
Walking the red carpet-- a tradition that the Smedley's started that we will try to continue-- a fun way to honor the departing missionaries!
My two counselors in the mission presidency, I had just set them apart. They had already been serving with Pres. Smedley, but only for the last couple of months. Pres. Am Than on the left (2nd counselor), and Pres. Thaong Chanta on the right (1st). Yes, they really are that short compared to me! Neither speaks very good English, but we get along. Usually we have our clerk and exec secretary with us when we meet, both of whom can speak good English and help translate. Although translation definitely means it takes more time to cover matters in our meetings! Below with our wives.
