March 1, 2015 - Sunday The Day of Rest (Sort of)

Sunday March 1, 2015

With our LONG day yesterday (it was about 50 hours from getting up on Thursday morning and going to bed Saturday night in Cambodia, with only a few short hours of sleep on the airplane), we slept pretty well for our first night in Khmer.  Even though our internal clock thought that we should be up and going, we were so exhausted the rest of our body over ruled it, at least for part of the night.

This morning just as Sister Oveson got her Iphone connected to the internet, a Skype call from Wendy and her family came in.  It was great to chat with them and see the snow that had fallen, way different than our 90+ degree days here in Phnom Penh.  Before we went to Church we Skyped with Janeene & Israel, Becky, Paul and their family, Brenda and Marla.  What a fun morning.

We went to a 10:00 a.m. Sacrament Meeting, in the International Branch .... and it is TRULY International. Elder and Sister Meinzer had meetings starting at 8:00 a.m., so Elder and Sister Hollenzer were our ride to church, then they had family coming for a visit so we were on our own. We thought we would have our first tuk tuk ride to find our way home after church, but instead a member couple, U.S. Embassy Employees, graciously took us on a tour of the city and delivered us back to the Meinzer's apartment where we spent the afternoon decompressing. The Meinzers are treating and feeding us very well. Today we had grilled salmon for dinner. (YUM)
