Week 21: Transfers and Fresh Faces!

Transfers: Every six weeks when missionaries are moved around areas in the mission.

We had transfer calls Sunday night and we were way off on most of our guesses. My trainer got me spot on though. I'm staying in Kampong Cham and a native Khmae is coming to mommy me (be my first comp out of training. Your trainer is your dad) So hopefully my Khmae will get way good! My trainer is going to train again in a different area in the city. It's the area that has trash mountain if you've ever heard of that. Also my MTC comp is moving into Kampong Tom which is in my zone. So we'll see each other every once is awhile. His comp is the older brother of my comp; we both get natives! There aren't very many natives in ratio to American missionaries. Also another elder in my house is going to train so I won't be the youngest in the house. That's the biggest news of the week, but here are some other photos: 

Played soccer for the last time as this group of elders. Thursday those leaving go to the city and then new people show up Friday. ​

These two sisters are leaving on their mission this week as well. They're starting off in Cambodia while they wait for their visas and then they are out to Australia. ​

Our guess of where people were going. The "Transfer Board"​

First time I've been inside a rice factory. The van we were riding in back from Preycho stopped and picked up several sacks of rice. ​

This little girl had a lot of fun playing with our rings.

Little boys are fascinated by frogs and all things creepy crawly too. ​

My lunch. Peeled off the scales and fished out the meat. Haha. ha... yeah..

All chilling eating together. Also ate a couple big red ants at this place off a tree.

We had a family home evening out in Preycho and a lot of people came. Way good. We played musical chairs after the spiritual though and it was a lot of fun. Started off with a huge circle of chairs. ​

What we thought was our last night after English class together. Got a text the next day though that transfers would be Friday instead of Wednesday so we have one more English class together. 

This week we also had our recent convert ordained to the priesthood out in Preycho. He is an awesome member and will help greatly in the strengthening of the few members out there. The work goes at the Lord's speed. We just have to remember to always do our best so He can bless us with success.
