We got to Skype with Sam on Mother's Day--Sunday, May 10, 2015.  It was one year ago--on Mother's Day, 2014--that Sam gave his missionary farewell in church, so he is now officially half-way through his mission!  He just got transferred last Friday from Battambang down to Phnom Penh. He grew very close to many of the people he knew in Battambang and he will really miss them.  Sam and his new companion in Phnom Penh are zone leaders, and they are hoping they can do some good in their new area. :)  

After our Skyping session, Sam emailed us the following photos he took in Battambang before leaving:

Sam grew very fond of these two older men.  They lived through the Khmer Rouge era and have seen a lot of sorrow in their lives.  But they are happy and kind.

We think this beautiful church is located in Phnom Penh where Sam is currently serving.
