Our Day Yesterday

Dad and I needed to find some of the buildings where members meet in cities outside of Phnom Penh.  We took a senior couple with us that have been here 2 years, to help us find them.  Elder and Sister Hollenzer.  They go home in about a week.






















School got out while we were driving by and the kids were just leaving.  They walk, ride bikes or take tuk-tuks home. They all wore helmets.   Wearing a helmet walking home from school says a little how dangerous these roads are.  The front two boys haven't put theirs on yet.  I seriously get scared to death seeing, especially like little 5 year olds, walking or riding their bikes through the traffic.

 Some houses around the church.



  I love the sky in this picture.  Cambodia's skies are so beautiful.
 This is the Church Meeting House.  It is just a group that meets here.  The Baku Group.  Not enough members to form a branch.  This was the group leaders house.  He offered it so the members would have a place to meet.  He built him and his family a little tin shack behind it to live in.  Yes, A huge sacrifice....


 This is the chapel.  It is clean.  The members take their shoes off outside for their meetings here.  They really are grateful and show respect.


  This is the neighborhood the Baku church is in.





This picture of me with the Hollenzers is by the Church in Ta Khmau.  I didn't get a picture of this one.  We were there for Dad's good pictures mainly, so I hadn't got my camera out yet. This building that you don't see has 2 branches meet in it.  Dad and I were surprised there were so many different Church buildings.  We saw five today that we hadn't been to before.










This next building was amazing.  A house that must have been a mansion.  The church just rents these buildings.  Here is the chapel of this one.  It is where the Pochentong Branch meets.








The font outside in the courtyard.












 Also a swing outside in the courtyard.  It is a very pretty place.
