We have been told that the only real things that we take with us from this life is our family, friends and experiences. We are grateful that all three have continued to grow over the last year.
Earlier this year we added our eleventh grandchild, Bree, and we found out that number twelve is expected in April. Then you add the additions of great nieces and nephews and our family just continues to grow.
Our circle of friends has dramatically increased over the last ten months, from two wonderful Mission Presidents and their wives, to fellow Senior Couples, the young Missionaries, the fantastic people that we work with and the kind and caring members here in Cambodia. A couple of months ago we met via Skype a new Senior Sister, Sister Kathy Roberts, in Hong Kong who is helping out with Self-Reliance Services. Her husband is a retired attorney that is on a legal services mission. Yesterday Elder Ken Roberts walked back to our area to introduce himself, he was in Phnom Penh on some legal matters. We got to know him a lot better today, after visiting with him this morning for a while, going to lunch and then dropping him to the airport to fly back to Hong Kong. There are now three legal service missionaries serving in Hong Kong and they are truly needed and appreciated.
Hopefully you can tell from our previous blog posts that through our experiences we have grown so much in the last ten months, it is impossible to describe. It still comes back to President Moon's description of life here in Cambodia, "It is complicated."
