This is Mom's first attempt, so please excuse the errors! After our arrival at the airport, we were taken to the mission home for a quick rest and then orientation to our responsibilities. By 4:00 pm we and our fellow new couple, the Fairchilds, were in a state of near exhaustion... and we both went to bed. The next day we were feeling a bit more awake and the photograph next on the blog is the hotel river front where President Hinckely dedicated the land of Cambodia. We are standing with President Winiger and the Fairchilds.
The next picture is taken on the street in "KT" where we have been assigned - the children are very curious and friendly!
The last two were taken the first Saturday we were here- and our first baptism to attend. The branch has wonderful youth who are a great support to each other, and have opened their hearts to us.
Pictures do not do Cambodia justice, however, we are trying to get a better "window" into our lives here in pictures for you to see. We love each of you more than we can express and that love has deepened every day as we come to appreciate the true meaning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Last night we were on a teaching appointment with the elders in Seim Reap to a young Cambodian family who is investigation the Church. The "road" was a muddy red clay morass, the home a humble spot, the children in clean but tattered clothing....but the father taught the gospel from the Book of Mormon, their children gave the prayers, and everyone who had a Book of Mormon followed intently along....and all this in a family that has not yet been been baptised. Dad and I were moved beyond measure as we saw the beginning seeds of what we had planted for our own family so many years ago. The blessings of the Book of Mormon are already blessing this family.....the gospel is true and we are blessed beyond measure with the promise of our eternal family as we keep our covenants....we love you!!!!!! Hugs, hugs, Elder and Sister Dickerson- dad and mom!!
