The One Sure Thing in Life is Change

Life as a missionary is slow and very fast.  Six weeks sounds like a long time, but it sneaks up so very fast and then those young missionaries that you love to serve with get transferred.  We were told that there were not a lot of changes this time, but there were enough to affect our little circle of missionaries that we have come to love.  Sister Jepsen who we have really loved serving with, first in Steung Mean Chey and then in Chaktumok, goes home in about three weeks, so we thought she would stay in our area until then, but she moves to a new area on Friday.  Elder Le Nguyen one of the Office Elders and District Leader in one of the Districts we attend is being moved to Stueng Mean Chey 1st Ward.  We will still see him when we are out that way.


Because of the transfers we invited Sister Jepsen and her companion Sister Kung to go to lunch at Mama's New York Deli.  Neither of them had eaten there before and loved the fish and chips and the corn beef sandwich which they shared.  We both went for the fish and chips, they are oh so good and very filling.  Like we have said before, great food but even better company.

We have mentioned that we have been working on several projects that relate to Cambodia, but involve working with Church Headquarters.  We sent off the report on one of the projects last week and we are now waiting to see if it was what they wanted.  Today we got some
additional information on the other project so we can move forward with it in a significant way.  We feel very strongly that part of the reason that we were sent to Cambodia was to help with these projects.  It is great to feel needed and used in a productive way.  As with most projects they are hurry up and wait, so they feel like they go so slow.
