Red Sky At Night . . .

Today was a "preparation day" of sorts. We are preparing for the visit of an Apostle, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, who will visit Cambodia the next two days. We have been given an assignment to help with a snack during Priesthood Leadership Training. This is a team effort, and many others are working on their assignment. We needed to go pick up small bowls and forks as well as a few snacks for Elder Holland, Elder Gong, the Area President,  and Elder Khanikham, the Area Seventy over Cambodia.

As we parked by Thai Huot Market we couldn't help but take a picture. We have commented before that they have been our best source of breakfast cereal. Maybe that is why they showcase their cereal so completely in the window of the store. That said, we did not buy any cereal today, but we were able to find cheese, crackers and nuts, bowls, and forks for tomorrow. Someone else is preparing fruits to be used for the snack for the Priesthood brethren as well as for Elder Holland's group. Elder and Sister Meinzer have taken the assignment of picking up water to go along with the snack, and pizzas and drinks for the conclusion of the meeting.

This evening as we cleaned up from our dinner we were drawn outside to enjoy another beautiful sunset. The Lord's paintbrush and pallet of colors is truly amazing. We thought of the saying "Red Sky at Night, Sailors' Delight." We may not be sailors, but the sky gave delight. We stood and watched for about 15 minutes as the colors changed and the city grew dark. Then after we finished our clean-up and washing dishes went up on the roof for another view of the city with the deepening tones of the night. We marvel at the beauties of this wonderful world that we are privileged to see and enjoy. We are feeling very blessed!
