Farewell to Elder and Sister Belcher

Work is progressing on the ground floor at the Phnom Penh Stake Center, it looks like they are ready to start painting. They continue to close in on our office space, the dust and noise are invasive. As one crew is still chipping out concrete, another started stripping paint off the walls in our hall. We stayed inside with the door closed, but the walls act as a sounding board and amplify the sound.in our office. It is at least progressing and not just sitting for another day.  We stick out the day, but we will be very grateful when the renovations are done.

Tonight was a Senior Missionaries Get-Together, saying goodbye to Elder and Sister Belcher. They have completed 23 Months of wonderful service here in Cambodia and it is time to return home to Park City Utah. The Belchers served in Steung Mean Chey and Siem Reap, they even filled in at our office to help out between couples.

We met up with the others for dinner at Titanic Restaurant, where we have had several other Senior gatherings. This is along the riverfront and was a wonderful evening of visiting and eating together. There will be more gatherings again soon as we see others coming and going. We have learned that the one thing you can count on is change! And with every Hello we have Goodbyes.  President Moon said that it is easier to say hello than good bye.
