We toured the rice fields today and got to eat lunch with the people and ask them questions and they asked us questions. It was really fun. But so hot I thought we were all going to die! The church is here teaching the Cambodian people how to farm their rice. It was cool to see all the things they were learning.

A group of us also got to go to church this morning at the Vietnamese branch. We got there and our guide asked the branch manager if he wanted a few of us to bear our testimony's and he said yes. So Mike, (of course) asked me and another kid to bear ours. So I got to get up and bear my testimony while this missionary from Layton translated to the people. It was a really good experience. Good thing that teaching relief society has made me unafraid of talking to crowds!

We have also seen a lot about the Khmer Rouge here and the war. I have pics to show you when I get home. We fly out again tomorrow up to Northern Cambodia to do more touring. We are all so exhausted but we have been having fun together. I have had some pretty good laughs about the things we see here. you would not believe the driving. The stops signs and lane painting are useless here, the people drive in both lanes and every which way and they use the horn as their turn signal. It is really a site.

I'm glad that you made it over there in one piece. Maybe watching the natives drive will make you less afraid of the plane trip home. Bring back some of that warm weather please!!
