Our second Sunday in Cambodia, and since we are now seasoned Tuk Tuk riders this morning we went to the Chaktomuk Ward which we are assigned. It starts at 8:00 a.m. in the Phnom Penh South Stake Center, where our offices are. There are two sets of young Elders also assigned to that Ward; the Assistants to the President, and what we call the tall Elders (one is 6'9" and the other is about 6'4"). Both companionships were very kind in helping translate the meetings for us. We studied hard and practiced our Khmer so that we would understand at least a little bit once we got here. It is amazing how little we know. The prayers didn't even sound close to what we have been practicing, the difference in a child's prayer, our simple prayers, and the adult prayers of the faithful members.After church we walked over to our new apartment where we got a few things put away, had lunch, then kicked back for a bit. It felt nice to be in our own place, even if for only a little while. When we headed back toward the Meinzer's, we were pleasantly surprised to have a Tuk Tuk just outside our door, and with Sunday traffic being nothing like week day traffic, it was a very quick ride.
