Cambodia Service Center - Physical Facilities Team

The people around us at the Cambodia Service Center are becoming our friends more and more each day.  Often the behind the scenes people are overlooked. We will tell about three of these people here today.  The Physical Facilities team take care of the buildings. Not just the Service Center, but also the chapels and mission home.

Tay (right) is the Physical Facilities Manager. He is the one who is responsible for making sure everything is running smoothly at all the buildings. If the power is out, or the toilet runs all weekend and floods the building (which happened a few months ago at the South Stake Center), he is the one to call. He also helps schedule any maintenance and repairs for the buildings.

You may notice Tay is wearing his puffy jacket in this picture. We had a few days of cooler temperatures, and 68* F was too cold for him. He is also grateful for the allergy meds our daughters sent for him in our recent care package. We can tell when he has forgotten to take one in the morning as we can hear him sneeze from the other end of the building.

Mory (top left) is the Physical Facilities Assistant. He is Tay's right hand man. In our old office he was given the the responsibility of trouble-shooting the internet and Wi-Fi. There are times Mory or Tay need to travel to the Khaits (provinces) to care of the other church buildings around the country.

Sambeang (bottom) is the building mechanic. He is the Handy-Man, taking care of repairs. Beang has come to us several times recently asking us to help him with English words for items he needs for a report or to order something. This week he pointed to a bulletin board and asked us to write this word on a paper for him.

The Church here in Cambodia would not run as smooth without these three new friends.
