Mother's Day 2014 - washing the feet

 Some photos of the wonderful Mother's Day activity in Ta Khmao-- the youth and YSA's washed the feet of all the moms in a show of respect and appreciation for them.  There was a wonderful program in the chapel first, complete with video recordings of many of the children and youth saying "I love you" to their moms-- not something verbalized very often here.  Very nice.  A tender tribute to the moms.  Several non-member moms came to the activity and really enjoyed it.

Gardens, April 25 2014 transfers and finishing missionaries

At the Steung Mean Chey chapel gardens (out back) with Pres. Sam Sophorn

The gardening project is organized by the local leaders-- they have divided up the property that the church owns in back of the chapel and members who want to participate have a plot of ground to grow vegetables, banana trees, etc.
