We Now Have Two Wards That We are Assigned to Visit

 Sundays are great!  We get to go to Church and partake of the Sacrament.  That is so very important to us, we do not need to know the language, the prayers and spirit are still the same.

We are still attending the Chaktomuk Ward at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.  Today they had six speakers for Sacrament Meeting, which was good because they were all really short.  The only one that would have gone longer was Elder Lao, the Assistant to the President, but he kept it short to give the last speaker some time.  Elder Brewer, the other Assistant, translated for us and we really enjoyed his editorial comments as he went along.  We now know what lessons they are on and we were able to follow the manuals in Sunday School, Relief Society and Priesthood, so with a little translation we were able to understand.

Now that we have a car, we have another Ward to attend that is about 7 km or 4.35 miles away from our apartment.   The additional Ward is the Steung Mean Chey 3rd Ward.  Their building is West and then South of where we live.  One of the other Senior Couples told us to leave early because the construction could slow us down.  It only took us a half hour to get to the building.  The Stake Center has wooden pews, this building has stackable chairs in the Chapel.  There is one set of missionaries assigned to that Ward right now; Elder Long, a Cambodian, and Elder Lauritzen from the USA.  They only had two speakers lined up for Sacrament Meeting and they only took about ten total minutes.  We got called on to bear our testimonies, but that only took a few minutes, the same one we bore in Cambodian before our mission.  One of the counselors in the bishopric took the rest of the time.  Going home afterwards was drastically different, it took an hour and forty-five minutes.  We are learning new lessons in patience hear in Cambodia.
