Training new self-reliance leaders in Siem Reap and Battembang is the agenda for this week. That necessitated a road trip. with Elder and Sister Powell in town they came along to help and to train us. With a hired driver and Phanna, we made our way North toward Siem Reap. With roads that are under construction and low speed limits, it took most of the day to get there. Phanna scheduled training and visits with very little down time.
As we got to Siem Reap we needed to find a school. Phanna had no idea where it would be. We stopped and asked some tuk tuk drivers, but they didn't seem to know. as we continued down the street were amazed to see the sign for the school we were looking for. What was even more amazing was Phanna, Elder Powell and Elder Oveson were able to meet with the school director.

After checking into our hotel we had some training at the church with the District Presidency. This gave us the opportunity to meet Elder and Sister Belcher, a full time missionary couple serving in Siem Reap. Elder Belcher is also serving as the District President. This was a very good meeting! We will follow up on Saturday with additional training with members of the Siem Reap District.
