General Conference In Cambodia

We have mentioned the International Branch previously, at General Conference we watch the downloaded sessions with them in English.  Today instead of sitting in front of the Sisters that serve in Chaktomuk, we were behind them, so we asked if we needed to translate for them today.

What a blessing to watch conference with our fellow saints and missionaries, there is a strength in hearing the words of the living apostles and leaders of the Church with others faithful members.  There were about thirty missionaries and ten local members there today.  The first session was supposed to have started at 9:00 a.m. but the Elders that had the DVDs did not get there until about 9:15.  That was okay, we got to see the session and it was truly worth the little wait.

The International Branch had a lunch after that session that we were invited to attend.  They had BBQ pork sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, fresh fruit and vegetables, and most important brownies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.  We also went and got our grocery shopping done before the afternoon session.

We did start off our day teaching our Institute class, but since it is a holiday weekend we only had eight there.  That was alright with us we would teach the class if only one showed up.  After conference we saw three of the Young Adult sisters that are usually at the class and asked why they did not come.  They all had various reasons, but also thought that we would have cancelled the class today.  We assured them that we would have the class again next Saturday.
