Women's Day in Cambodia

Last week the part-time Seminary and Institute secretary asked us if we were going to work today or not.  She let us know that everybody else would be gone because it was a holiday, Women's Day. When we googled it, we found out that it originated in New York City when the women protested that they had to work more hours per week than men.  It is interesting that this is a holiday from the U.S.A., who does not celebrate it with a day off.  But Cambodia does.

The mission phone we got last Saturday decided not to work yesterday.  Because of that we decided we would try again to unlock Marilyn's IPhone. What I thought would be a ten to fifteen minute project turned into an hour and a half.  We stayed at the Meinzers while we got it unlocked.  We also FaceTimed with Chris, Melissa and Lizzy this morning since we did not talk to them on Saturday. Because we were so late in leaving anyway, we decided to walk over to the Mission Home to take care of a few things.  It ended up being about an hour stop, but now we do have another cell phone that appears to be working just fine.

We finally made it to the Center, and since we were all alone, I was able to go through all of the rest of the files on the computer.  I found some very interesting training manuals that I had never seen before.  We also went through some of the training that we wanted to review.

This evening the Meinzers took us to a German restaurant for dinner. That was definitely my favorite food here in Cambodia.  I am so full tonight.
