House blessing

This week we were invited to the new home of one of our Branch Presidents. The Toul San Ke Branch.  This home is in a new neighborhood and is very nice compared to many homes here. It is in a row of homes all attached to each other.  It is about 15 feet wide and quite deep. The ground floor has the main room with the kitchen in back. There are 3 levels altogether with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The stairs going up are pretty steep and made me think of the cabin only new!  We had a really nice dinner downstairs and then some of the big group that was there went upstairs for the blessing.  The prayer was given by a man who has served as an area seventy and is now in Cambodia every other week as the service center temporary manager while a new manager is being hired.  The home belongs to Pres Pen Vibol who is in the center of the picture in a white shirt. His wife who mostly stayed in the kitchen is in a stripped shirt.  Pres Pen also has a married daughter that lives there and 2 other daughters there also.  He is really a fun person. We were introduced to him the first time in the mission home when he was asking if anyone there knew the two-step. So Richard gave him a dance lesson and he has been a friend ever since.
