Dad, the Farmer!

You know how much Dad loves farming! Well, even half way around the world he wanted to see how rice is planted. Elder & Sis. Whitesides are in charge of LDS Charities. They work with NGO's (non-governmental agencies) in partnership to provide improved agricultural methods, wells, water pumps, rain cathchment systems, wheelchairs, and other worthy projects to help with development in Cambodia. On one of the Whitesides trips to the provinces to check three different projects, they invited us to accompany them. It was a very educational and wonderful day for us. Enjoy the pics.

Next morning the Wineagers said good-bye to many of their close friends. Not an easy thing after 3 years of being with these precious Cambodians! But alas, the 5 couples on the left will carry on with the great work. They started with ice cream from DQ! The only Dairy Queen in the city is at the airport right behind the couples! Couldn't pass that up!

June 30, '09 All the senior couples went to the airport to help Pres. & Sis. Winegar (far left and far right) welcome in our new Mission Pres. Scott Smedley and his wife (center couple). The Smedley's are from Layton, UT only 5 miles away from our old home in Syracuse. Pres. Smedley was actually raised in Syracuse and attended grade school & high school with our dear friend Keith Bourgeous! Pres. Smedley also knows our dear friends Ron & Rochelle Hamblin very well. Small world isn't it!
