Even though it is New Year in Cambodia, that is not true for the rest of Asia or the world. We were still getting and sending emails to Hong Kong and even Utah. On top of that President Moon had some questions and concerns that he asked us to think about and look into how to handle. Like we have said before it is nice to feel needed.
This afternoon we went to an early dinner with the Holenzers (the office senior missionaries), and the VanBrocklins (the Public Affairs senior missionaries). The VanBrocklins actually knew of a restaurant that was open today. We went at 3:00 because the mission had scheduled a movie night to watch Meet The Mormons. It was good that we went early because the service was really slow, even though there were not many other customers. We left the restaurant at 4:50.President Moon invited all of the missionaries in the Phnom Penh area to the movie night this evening. There were about 70 young missionaries and four couples, counting the Moons, that is more than half of the missionaries in the mission. It was good to be with them and see them interacting with each other, it was great to see the love that they have for one another.
Wow! I just posted a comment and, of course, I don't think that it actually posted. We are enjoying your posts even though we don't make a comment with each one. We are probably three years out of serving a mission but we can't wait to get out serving. There is always a neat spirit that accompanies missionary letters.
ReplyDeleteWe had as good of a time as we could at Colleens funeral. It was good to see some family members that we haven't seen for a very long time, particularly some of her family members. We talked about you behind your back, but try as I could - they were all comments on the good side. Sounds like everything is working out great for the two of you. Enjoy and we wish you the best.
