Tell Me About A Typical Day For You

Yesterday after the baptism we were showing the Leavitts our office, and Brother Leavitt asked what a typical day is like for us.  After some thought for a moment we said that we do not know what a typical day is like since every one is unique and different.

There are some days that have more structure than others, like Tuesday when we go to one of the District Meetings and hold our country staff meeting.  The first week of the month we help out with reports that have to be submitted to Hong Kong before the 10th.  The last couple of weeks of the month we help call Perpetual Education fund participants that just need to know we care and encourage them.

We try and read our scriptures in the afternoon at the office. If things are too crazy then they have to wait until we get home at night.  We also try to do some Cambodian language study every day, we are still working on increasing our testimony phrases and prayer language.  Likewise, we take some time to work on preparing our institute lesson.  We have had at least five more members tell us that they want to come to our class, we will see who really does on Saturday.

Every day there are the unexpected items that come up.  A new report or information that headquarters would like, most of the time we have not been tracking the item they ask for, so we have to go back and give it our best shot.  A Perpetual Education Fund participant who shows up that we get to meet and talk to, we love talking to them.  We even have Institute Students show up at our office and they are always welcome. Today we were introduced to one more student who wants to participate in our class.

In the evening we write our daily blog, do our laundry and catch up on what is happening back home on FaceBook.  Even after writing this blog we are still not sure what a typical day is for us.

There are maids that work here at the apartment where we live, they keep the hall floors mopped, usually two or three times a day, and they do a light cleaning in each apartment twice a week.  We have observed several different ways how they spend there down time, from sleeping on the hard floor to sitting downstairs with the guards.  Tonight's picture is our favorite, laying on the floor charging her phone and reading her messages.
