Back to Our Office in Phnom Penh

Even though it was less than a week since we had been in our office, it felt good to be back and to get back to some projects we have been working on.  We did take care of part of our emails while we were out in the Kaits, we got back to our hotel so late most nights that we needed to get to bed.  The first couple of hours in the office was spent cleaning up correspondence that we needed to get done.

We also needed to Skype with our youngest daughter, her best friend and room mate, and basically our adopted daughter, had her gall bladder removed, so we had to find out how things were going.  So please pray for Connie Cripps to get better soon.

Chad is still in town but had some phone conference calls to handle before he came to our office today.  We had talked several times about going to lunch with Samnang, the Service Center manager, we had also spoken about a team lunch together at Brooklyn Pizza, so we combined the two today.  It was great food and we got to know Samnang a lot better.  After lunch Chad had another phone conference, so we went back to our office and read our scriptures.

We went to visit two companies in the Phnom Penh North Stake area, Flyworks, which we have blogged about before, and a driving school.  The General Manager of Flyworks is the Phnom Penh North Stake president.  We wanted Chad to see what they are doing and to hear their story.  The driving school is owned by the wife of one of the counselors in the Phnom Penh North Stake and she had participated in the Starting and Growing My Business group.  She told us that what she had learned had increased her business by 40%.  What a great testimonial of the power of these groups.

We actually had a nice quiet evening at home and even got to read some of our book, most nights this week we have not had time.  It has been great having Chad here, he has truly made a difference for Cambodia.  He flies to Hong Kong tomorrow evening.
