Plough Day, New Grocery Store and We Are No Longer the Newest Senior Missionary Couple in Cambodia

It is amazing to us that in a country where the majority of the population work seven days a week, just to put food on their table and a small roof over their head, they would have so many holidays.  Most of the little holidays, like last Friday and today, as we have gone out on errands it has felt like a normal business day to us, so we are not for sure who took the day off.  There was one business that we were going to visit today that was closed for the holiday.  There is a fly tying business located in Logan, Utah that has one of their manufacturing plants here in Cambodia, so we were going to go and see it, but they were closed.  We will update you when we finally get to go and see it.

Hollenzers, Moons, Spencers, Meinzers, Ovesons, VanBrocklins

For those of you that truly know Elder Oveson, you understand how little he really likes shopping, but you need to know he is learning to tolerate it.  A few weeks ago we were told about a new American style grocery store called Super Duper.  We have looked for it two or three times based on directions from an American member who had been to it, without any luck.  We finally got the address and we were able to find it, after all that looking we still like the ones we have been going to in the past.

Dinner at the Titanic

This afternoon Elder and Sister Spencer, from Orem Utah, became the newest Senior Missionary Couple in Cambodia.  They will be Member Leadership Support Missionaries in Battambang for the next twenty-three months.  It is hard to believe that it was almost ten weeks ago when we arrived.  One thing that we really appreciated when we arrived was seeing all of the smiling faces of the other Senior Missionary Couples at the airport.  Because of that we went to the airport to greet the Spencers, and then out to dinner with the group.  We went to the same restaurant, Titanic, that we went to as the Zemps were leaving.  They have great food and we throughly enjoyed the company this evening.
