We begin our day by planning what we will be doing at the SR/PEF Center. Today was no exception. However, as careful as we are to plan things don't always follow the schedule we had in mind. For instance, today we set our schedule beginning with planning and study. After checking in with family via Skype, we intended to read and study some of the materials for upcoming training. We also ended up skyping with Sister Powell in Hong Kong, getting ready for next week's visit to Cambodia, and giving us a little training for our job here. We are learning how to support and work with the SR Manager, Phanna, a full-time Church Employee that will be here after we go home.
Another of the side-tracks we found today was visiting with Marco again before his return to Hong Kong. He had invited us to join the team for lunch at the New York Steakhouse just down the street. What a wonderful group of people to be with.
The young missionaries in Cambodia are not allowed to proselyte so their methods of finding investigators differs slightly from some other missions. One thing we typically see them doing is "flipping signs" telling of the free English lessons they teach at the chapel. It seems to be something the Cambodian people want, they told us that they average about 30 people a night in the classes.
We decided to leave the office a little bit early to avoid some of the traffic on our way home. We made it across the busy street and made it home with no problem. Then finally sat down to study the lesson we intended to read and study this morning.
What a great opportunity to serve some of Our Heavenly Father's children.
