Painting Our Office And The Location Of Our Future Office

Over the eight months that we have been here in Cambodia we have seen a lot of remodel work on the Phnom Penh South Stake Center.  Today it was our office's turn for a fresh layer of paint.  We chose today because we knew that we had some meetings away.  We did go to our office and moved a lot of the little furnishings across the hall to make room for the painters.

We have been invited to attend the weekly devotional at the Service Center, so we decided today was a good day to go.  We did not know that Phanna would be conducting, they rotate through the managers of the various departments.  He did a good job.  After the meeting Samnang the Service Center Manager wanted to show us his idea of moving us to the Service Center.  In most countries the Self-Reliance Team is in the Service Center already.  They will need to do a little add-on and move one employee, but it will work.  The picture for the day is where they are going to enclose a balcony as part of our new offices for Self Reliance.

Samnang also had received some documents that the local attorneys needed to finish the filing for the Church, so we stopped there on our way back to our offices.  We actually were lucky and caught the attorney that we needed to talk to and had a brief conversation with him.  They will have the documents finished and ready to be signed tomorrow at 11:30.  Then they will file them with the government in the afternoon.  They want to get it done before Thursday, another holiday here in Cambodia.

Also, over the last eight months we have both been fairly healthy, there have been a few tummy aches, but that is to be expected in a completely new environment.  Well today Sister Oveson woke up with a sore throat and despite her best efforts it has settled into a cold.  We came home and worked from our apartment this afternoon so that she could kind of take it easy.
