We Are Grateful For The Young Missionaries & Others That Translate For Us

When we received our mission call it stated that the language for our mission would be English.  That is so wise of the Lord and leaders of the Church, there are no missionaries that served here forty years ago to return as Senior Missionaries.  With the encouragement of our Mission President, David Moon, we took advantage of Skype tutoring to learn a little Cambodian and we are always trying to learn a little more here.

With that introduction we are thankful for the Elders and Sisters that are so willing to translate for us in the various meetings that we attend.  In the Chaktomuk Ward there are two sets of Elders and a set of Sister missionaries that are always there to help translate in all three meetings of the block.  In Steung Mean Chey there is only one set of Elders and they try their best to help us but often they are playing the piano or at the Sacrament table.  We have been blessed by several returned Cambodian Missionaries and others who have stepped in and tried to help at times.  We are truly blessed to not just be left on our own to understand a few words here and there.

Our picture for tonight is part of these wonderful translators from the recent Zone Training Meeting.  The six in this picture are Sister Young, Sister Uresk, Elder Denkers, Elder Jarvis, Elder Rom and Elder Cook.  We are also grateful to the Assistants to the President, Elder Neuberger and Elder Elieson for their aid.
