Greetings from Siem Reap

Dear Fr David

 Greetings and Peace from Siem Reap.  I hope that this email will find you well. I am writing to thank you for your recent visit to us. I am sorry that you could not be home on time because of the flight delay. I am sure that now that you are home, there are many things to do in the parish.

I am now in the diocese for a priest's meeting.  I will be here in Battambang until tomorrow after lunch. At present we are preparing for visa application to England.  Three of us will go to East Anglia: Thoem Thon; Som Ratana (both are our catechists) and me. We will be in England hopefully in the first two weeks of July this year.  On July 10th we will attend the priestly ordinations of two deacons in East Anglia.  The two deacons (Luke and Michael) were here in Cambodia some years ago. I will try to find time to visit you in your parish during my visit to England.

Here are some news links about Taom with some good pictures:

 Let us continue to pray for each other. Please give our best regards and best wishes for your parishioners.  Thank you for your big hearts to take us as your twin parish.

With gratitude and God's blessing

Heri, your brother in Jesus Christ
