Goodbye Kuntheavy!

We learned recently that Kuntheavy would be leaving us first of the year. She has been engaged for quite sometime to a young man who lives in Kentucky. They have just been waiting for an immigration visa. On December 28th she had an appointment with the US Embassy for an exit interview to be able to receive here visa. Her fiancee came to Cambodia just for this interview, which she passed with flying colors, then he boarded a plane to return to the US the next day.

Today was Kuntheavy's last day of work. Tomorrow is a holiday, and Friday she has to pick up her visa and take care a few last minute preparations. She will fly to the US on Sunday night, and the two of them will be married in the temple on January 23rd.

Another project was brought to Sister Oveson this afternoon. Samnang, the Cambodia Service Center Manager, needed an Organization Chart for the church in Cambodia. He put together the basics, and Sister Oveson put it together in the computer. It is still a rough draft format, but it is in a manner that can be sent to Hong Kong for approval.

With a little farewell party at the end of the day for Kuntheavy, we were almost an hour later than usual heading out the door to go home. We expected to find traffic in the heavy rush-hour gridlock. Instead we faced a fairly reasonable commute home. And so it goes with Phnom Penh traffic you never know what you will get.
