Mondays Always Feel Busy and FHE With The Other Senior Couples

Weekly we send an email to family and friends and another to the Powells, the Area Self Reliance Senior Couple.  We try to get them done on Sunday, but yesterday was so busy that we did not get them done.  This morning Sister Oveson went to work on the email to the family and friends, as Elder Oveson tackled the Hong Kong email.  Add that to our Monday morning Self Reliance Staff planning meeting, and it equals a good busy morning.

This afternoon we had to tackle the project that came in at the end of the day on Friday.  We received an email with 12 attachments, new Training Guides for Self Reliance.  Hong Kong asked for our feedback on them, along with questions and suggestions.  Elder Oveson and Phanna took on that project as Sister Oveson made some phone calls to PEF participants.  The problem with having Elder Oveson analyze anything he will definitely over think the project.  We did get the email off,  hopefully we provided relative feedback.  

The Senior Couples in Phnom Penh have been trying to get together for a monthly Family Home Evening and a meal.  Tonight the Meinzers were the hosts and they are great cooks.  Sister Meinzer made a wonderful pasta dish and Elder Meinzer grilled Salmon on their little Cambodian clay bar-b-que.  We had all five couples, including President and Sister Moon for dinner, but the Moons had to leave shortly after dinner.  We had a great Family Home Evening where we watched one of the Church's New Testament videos and talked about how Christ taught.  We also talked about today being Memorial Day and what that meant to us, especially considering that we are here in Cambodia, which was part of the area in the Vietnam war as we were growing up.  We had a wonderful meal and great company.

We mentioned yesterday that the Chaktomuk Ward did a picture of the Ward that we were invited to be part of.  We did not include it as part of our blog yesterday, so here it is today.
