I took a quick trip to Battambang to do some training and was able to be there for a special baptism service for 3 families-- 11 people... it was a wonderful occasion. Such a wonderful spirit. Included in the baptism was the 8 year old granddaughter of Pres. Bunno, who he baptized.
We were pleased to welcome a new elder to our mission, Elder Pham. He will be part of our Vietnamese speaking program.
We bid a fond farewell to our group of "12 apostles"-- a fantastic group that served so well. We will miss them, but are so grateful for their wonderful service and the leadership and example they provided to our mission.
Several of the group had family come to pick them up, and some were local missionaries-- this group of 6 were the ones we took to the airport late that night.
It was a very busy day with transfers and exit interviews, and a dinner for the big group of departing missionaries. Mackenzie was so nice and did all the dishes for us while we were gone to the airport-- the kitchen was literally filled with dishes. She was our "kenzie-o-matic" dishwasher.
This group of young men and young women are all from Tuol Sang Ke branch and all preparing to serve missions. Two of them have calls now, two more are awaiting their calls, and one more preparing papers. They are all fantastic and we hope they come to our mission here!
