They're Here! President and Sister Christensen Arrive

Today was an odd combination of happenings. The work is progressing quite nicely in our wing of the church building, and the tile has been laid and is mostly complete. They have just a few tiles to finish. They have the grout work started. There is hope that the construction dust will be finished, hopefully soon.

At 10:00 we went downstairs for district meetings. The tile was still too newly laid to plan on having so many people in our wing. Besides, they were only about halfway down the hall with tiles "floated" in their place.  After the meeting we had to make a quick run to the mission office and to the Hollenzer's apartment, before we were back for our weekly staff meeting with Phanna and Sameth.

We stayed late at the office, waiting for Elders Le Nguyen and Morris to come use our computer with an investigator for a Skype call with missionaries in Japan. This is the same elderly Japanese gentleman they have taught in our office several times before. Tonight, however, they were about 30 minutes late. 

This evening all the Senior couples, along with President and Sister Moon went to the Phnom Penh airport to meet our new leaders, President and Sister Christensen. We are excited to have them here, they are already our dear friends. At the same time we are sad to see President and Sister Moon leave. They, too, have become dear friends. This makes us think of the couplet, "Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold." These are definitely Golden friends!
