We Are Always Amazed At What Is Next

Last night as we were getting ready to call it a day we received several emails from an attorney in Salt Lake City that we have been working with on a project.  There is an application that needs to be in to the Cambodian Government by the end of the month and she needed our help on the ground.  She was trying to set up a conference call with the Church's attorney in Hong Kong, but he was catching a plane early this morning.  With not knowing if there was going to be a call or not made last night's sleep way less than restful.

We got up about 5:45 a.m. to an email asking if Elder Oveson could join a conference call at 6:00.  He only had time to get dressed and get the laptop setup to join the conference.  After discussing a few issues we were asked to set an appointment and meet with the local attorneys.  All of a sudden Elder Oveson's questions increased dramatically, so that we felt prepared.  The call lasted about 45 minutes.  Even with the extra call we made it to the office before 8:00.

At the office we printed the material that we needed for the appointment at 1:30 and then went to the Service Center for an Area Training video conference.  With Marco and Trent here in Cambodia the conference originated from here this month.  We definitely learned some things that we did not know before.  There is so much to learn, we doubt that we will ever know everything that we need to, because of that we are sure glad that Sameth is here to do the work.

The appointment at the attorneys went very well and the needed documents are well on their way to being prepared, at least in English, and then they have to be translated into Cambodian.  Our picture tonight is the sign at the attorneys office.

This evening we attended a devotional that Jared Sasser from headquarters presented.  Even though it rained there were still over 70 members that came.
