Another Random Friday

Today was full of random service and random happenings. When we arrived at the office we made a few FaceTime calls, not knowing what the family would have planned for Pioneer Day tomorrow. Projects have come to a wind-down phase, so we didn't have as many demands on our morning schedule.

Khuntheavy, the Seminary and Institute secretary, had a stack of certificates that needed to be printed, but her printer has been down for a couple of weeks, thus she came to use Sister Oveson's computer and our printer. The paper she was trying to print on was not a standard size, so we also helped 'Theavy fix the layout of the page. As we started printing and had everything just right, our printer ran out of ink. Uhhg! We have had a hard time finding the correct printer cartridges sometimes, so we told her to pray for us as we left to try to get them. With a quick trip to the Aeon Mall about ten minutes away, we found the cartridges in the first store we checked. Someone was looking out for us this time!

We had a simple lunch today: Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches! Not only did we enjoy them, but both Sameth and Phanna came to make sandwiches for their lunch as well. We had offered for them to share our jar of peanut butter and the loaf of bread we had put in the fridge. We were pleased that they both took us up on the offer.

This afternoon Elder Oveson spent time making PEF calls. He had talked to about 5 different participants, and we had a surprise knock on our door. We opened to an unfamiliar face, but quickly found Elder Oveson's calls have helped us gain another new friend.  He has talked to Vibon each month for the last five months, but today we told him about some translation work, so he came to see us about that opportunity.  Like everyone before, it was great to meet him and he is so friendly.  Vibon is our picture for today.
