A Little Bit (tik-tik) About Monday

As we start our day at the office it is common for the others to come by and say good morning. Monday is Phanna's scheduled day, so we were surprised for him to stop in and stay the day. We were happy to learn that his son, Ammon, who has been sick too many days, is doing much better. He was getting concerned enough to even consider finding a way to take him to the U.S. for a doctor. Instead he took Ammon to a different clinic here, and was very impressed with how thorough the new doctor was in evaluating and diagnosing. What it seems to have come to is allergies. By discontinuing the soy milk he has been on he is well now.

Sameth came in for a short hello about the time as Sophornn. Sameth told of one of his ward members whose father had been killed in a moto accident this morning, and Sophornn realized the details fit an accident he had passed. In Cambodia, the funeral is often within 24 hours, so at the end of the day Sameth said he would attend the funeral tonight.

This morning Sameth had a private Skype meeting so Phanna spent some time with us, but this turned out very helpful because he was able to help Elder Oveson review some information he was working on for the big project we are working on.  We received more information and put more things in order. Getting closer to being ready to submit it to legal counsel.

Our photos for the day are some of the random things we have seen recently. We have not yet tried the green oranges. The moto with the bags of garlic totally came out from our right to skirt around the cars in the lane and make a right turn in front of the traffic lined up for the light. This is way too common here. There are a variety of recycle vehicles that seem to be very large loads on small motos, tuk-tuks, trucks, or trailers. The truck is hauling a load of metal wires. The piles of brick are everywhere, showing the construction under way in this city. And of course there are a large variety of food carts. The peddlers walk their carts in and through traffic as the sidewalks are already occupied with parked cars and other peddlers.
