While we were in Phnom Penh for the change of mission presidents, we decided to get some things done there that we cannot do in Battambang. First of all, I got my hair cut and colored. It was a delightful experience. A French hairstylist was recommended by Sister Moon. It was so cosmopolitan (and not expensive) to be styled by him. Apparently, there is a large French population in PP, as well as, Americans, Australians and other nationalities.
We also visited the National Museum with another missionary couple, the Hollenzers. They are about ready to go home, so we wanted to spend time with them. The museum has lovely historical and cultural exhibits. Photos are not permitted inside, so here is just a taste of what we saw on the outside.
The Hollenzers were kind enough to take us shopping to find some "American" items that we have missed. We packed the car full of things that are not available in Battambang. Then they treated us to some amazing donuts. (For sure we don't have those in Battambang - even the not-so-amazing kind.)
We very much enjoyed our interactions with some of the other missionary couples for dinner. We also got some necessary things done at the mission office and acquired a lot of materials from the service center We are grateful for the mission office staff. Among other things, they arranged for Connie to get a Cambodian driver's license. But that is another story....
