Faith In Every Footstep

Today was one of those days that seemed very full from the start, but just like the young Elders and Sisters, often things don't happen like we imagined.

A recurring item on our Thursday calendar is a Skype call with the Senior Couple over Self Reliance Services that we report.  This morning we got our laptop all plugged in ready and then we found out that the call is postponed until tomorrow.  That was alright, we had several things to do anyway.  Elder Oveson had an eight page legal document to digest and Sister Oveson needed to cleanup her computer again.  It is amazing the random things that happen on the desktop in three months.

We had planned on getting our hair cut yesterday, but with the construction out front of our building we had to delay that until today.  While we were out we went and picked up some donuts and lunch to share with one of our favorite Sister missionaries who has been ill.  We wanted to try and brighten her day.

This afternoon we met with Brother Touch Sophornn to talk about our new Institute curriculum  next semester.  We still have half of this semester to teach but he wanted to introduce a new Institute policy for the students to graduate.  There are four new classes that are referred to as the Cornerstone Classes that each Institute participant needs to take in order to graduate.  He wants us to teach the first one to our group of students.  The first one focuses on Jesus Christ, which is truly a cornerstone of the gospel.

This afternoon we went with Phanna to help give a blessing to a member from Taiwan that is the controller for a garment factory here.  We did not know anything about her, but we got to talk to her and understand her needs and then pronounce a blessing.

Even though our days do not go as we may expect, as we walk by faith and take a step into the dark and just trust that it will all work out.  What a blessing it is to serve.

Since we had a random day, we decided to put a collage of random Khmer pictures.
