It seems like the only day of the week that our alarm really wakes us up is on Saturday. The alarm is normally set for 6:00 a.m. and we usually are awake about 5:45 and up and going before the alarm would go off. Sunrise is around 5:30, and our bedroom is on the Eastside of our apartment, so the morning light helps us wake up. On Saturday we are up before the sun and we get to enjoy some beautiful sunrises out of our window.
What a blessing it is to teach our Institute Class. This morning at 7:00 a.m. when class starts we only had about ten students there, but right after the opening prayer and shortly there after they seemed to just pour in. We ended up with twenty-three today, our biggest class so far and none of them were new this week. With todays lesson we are half way through the thirteen week course. Today's topic was Putting First Things First, which is so important for these future leaders to understand. In many ways the Cambodian culture teaches them that the most important thing is to succeed and become rich. That is very understandable because there are so many poor here.
Saturday morning after our class is when we FaceTime with five out of our six children. It is a true joy to be able to see them and talk to them. We have grandchildren that want to hog the camera and others we get very few words out of. We love them all.
Sister Oveson has been talking with the Sister Missionaries in our area about getting some Cambodian skirts made for several weeks. Today Sister Jepsen and Sister Spangler went with us to the Central Market and picked out some fabric. After some additional wandering of the market we went to a taylor down the street from their apartment to arrange for the sewing. The new skirts are suppose to be done next Tuesday. We promise a showing of the completed product next week.
Another week has rushed by, and today was another busy and full Saturday/Preparation Day.
