We have mentioned Phanna, Sameth and Sophorn in our office, but there is one more we have neglected to mention. With all these men around we need a little feminine touch to equal things out. That is where Kuntheavy comes in.
Kuntheavy is the secretary for Seminary and Institute and does a marvelous job of keeping track of S&I records. She is the one we give our rolls to after we teach Institute. (And she reminds us if we forget!) She is in the office every day until noon, then she heads off to school. She is also an Institute teacher. It has been fun getting to know Theavy. This cute girl served a mission several years ago in the Nevada Las Vegas Mission.
Today was a full busy day, we had a wonderful Skype call with President and Sister Christensen as they were with their family for one more reunion at Bear Lake. What a dynamic couple! We will miss the Moons, but we are excited to be able to serve with the Christensens!
With Candy Lau leaving the Asia area office, she is trying to get all the loose ends wrapped up. This translates into another report (or three) for Phanna and Elder Oveson to complete.
Today is also the day transfers were announced. We don't know all, but we were sad to hear that Sister Jepsen is being transferred from Steang Mean Chey. Then just before we headed for home we learned she is moving to Chaktomuk Ward! Just yesterday we were told by the Elder's Quorum President there that Chaktomuk needs sister missionaries. The number of sister converts and investigators in Chaktomuk has been amazing, and Sister Jepsen and her new companion will be a great boost to the ward! This means we lose Elder Hall, but it was time for him to serve in another area.
With this transfer we will say goodbye to several who are returning home, and hello to a few who will arrive. This group will just serve a week under President Moon, and be here to welcome President and Sister Christensen. One more evidence that the constant thing we can count on in the church is change!

I'm excited for Wyatt to transfer to Siam Reap (since he's so excited), but I'm sad that he won't be around you folks. It has been fun to get extra peeks into his mission from your blog. I so admire the work you are doing and look forward to a time when my husband and I serve a mission, too! (This is not a farewell, though. Your blog is on my favorites bar. I check it every day!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments about our blog. Elder Wyatt Hall is a wonderful missionary. He will do well in Siam Reap, and wherever he is called to serve. It has been a blessing to serve with him here in Chaktomuk.
