We missed a month in reporting just very busy. It is hard to believe but the Taylor’s have been in Cambodia for 11 and ½ months. This mission is ½ over.

Sister Taylor became a world read journalist this past month with her article in the Church News about the Branch in the countryside referred to a Goose Pit. We were happy to move them from a tin shade to a house for a Chapel. We have been working with these people since we came to Cambodia. We have included part of the original article for you. Plus a couple of pictures - one of the old building and one of the new chapel.

I also promised the story of the family that went to the temple last month with one picture. Their story like many others here is one filled with sorry and death from the wars in the country and yet faith in God.

We are working with several other families that are preparing to go to the temple. It is so fun to help them prepare to make additional covenants with God and to have their families seal together for eternity. With a small fund of their own many families can go to the temple with support from a temple fund provide by people that wish to help people go to the temple. It now looks like several families will be going to the Hong Kong temple on 23-28 August. We are so excited about this trip. It will be the first time we have visited this city and temple as well.

Next report will be about our recent trip to Vietnam with the BYU-Hawaii - Polynesian Cultural Center dance group.

Things are always changing here and the Church continues remarkable growth.

Thank you for your support and interest.

Elder and Sister Taylor
