Today Was an Incredible and Busy Sunday

Today was one of those days that you wanted it to just keep going, but you are completely worn out in such a good way.  We started off our day at the Chaktomuk Ward at 8:00 this morning for Sacrament Meeting.  After their Sacrament Meeting they wanted to take a Ward picture, so everyone went to the Cultural Hall.  As with anything in the Church it took a while to get everybody in there.  By time we were through with pictures we had to hurry to go pick up Ty and Melissa Palmer, we promised that we would be there at 9:30.

Ty and Melissa wanted to go to the International Branch because they had invited one of their co-volunteers to Church today.  After getting the Palmers we went and found their friend at a different guest house.  Their friend, Thu, pronounced Too, is a 31 year YSA that had come from Vietnam to help teach English at the same orphanage as Ty & Melissa.  She is a Catholic, so she has a Christian background, which helped in explaining so many of the things that was happening at Church

We attended the International Branch the first week that we were in Cambodia, so we knew some of the members there.  Because of that we were asked to offer the prayers in Sacrament Meeting.  A little bit later Elder Oveson and Ty were asked to help with the Sacrament, Elder Oveson blessed the water and Ty helped pass.  We went to the Gospel Essentials Sunday School Class the full-time Elders assigned to the International Branch taught.  They had a combined Priesthood Relief Society class today.  After the block the full-time Elders asked if Thu would like to learn more and hear a Missionary Discussion, which she agreed to.  The Elders already had another discussion scheduled so we went with one of the Elders and the Palmers went with the other Elder to teach Tno.

The discussion that we taught with Elder Le Nguyen went really well.  It is a part member family, the husband is a member and the wife is Catholic.  The sister we taught had been reading and praying and the discussion about The Plan of Salvation was wonderful.  At the end of the discussion Elder Le Nguyen committed her to be baptized on June 20th.  The discussion with Thu went well also and she even said the closing prayer.  They gave her an English Book of Mormon and contact information for when she goes back to Vietnam.

After church we invited the Palmers and Thu to our apartment for lunch.  We had put a pork roast in the Crock Pot before going to our meetings.  The only problem was we were gone longer than we expected  and it got a little bit over cooked.  We were able to salvage most of it, and with the leftover potatoes from last night, broccoli and some bread we had a great lunch.  Everything got eaten, so it must have been good.

This evening we went with Phanna to Ta Khmau (TuckMau) for a My Path presentation out there.  They have a nice small building similar to Steung Mean Chey.  There were eighteen
that came tonight, some were very late which is not unusual, from what we could tell and from what Phanna told us afterward, it went really well.

What an incredible sabbath.
