Baptism and Bishops

Last week as we attended the Steung Mean Chey 3rd Ward we found out that the Sisters that are assigned to cover Steung Mean Chey 1st Ward now are assigned both. Today as we walked in there were three Elders now assigned to the attend there. Elder Morgan's companion had been one that was waiting for his visa so that he could go to Australia and the MTC in Manilla, he left this week. We have a group leaving the mission in a week and a half and a bigger group coming, so until then they will work as a threesome.

There was another baptism after the block in Steung Mean Chey today. This time was a twenty-three year old sister that the Elders have been teaching. Alika, who was baptized last month, spoke in Sacrament Meeting and at the baptism today. It is great to see her progressing. We did not leave Steung Mean Chey until after noon and we had to be to the Chaktomuk Ward at 1:00, so we made a very quick stop at our apartment for a bowl of soup and then to the next three hour block.

One of the recent converts in Chaktomuk Ward was put in the Young Mens Presidency, they have two active Aaronic Priesthood Holders, so that is a very easy calling. Still that is what they need to keep them coming and active in the Church.

Our picture for today is a collage of the bishop and his counselor in the Wards we are assigned to attend. In Steung Mean Chey one of the counselors lives so far from the church building he only comes periodically. In Chaktomuk the bishop only has one counselor.
