We Are Happy To Do All We Are Asked

We had been at the office almost a hour and were surprised no one else had come in. We knew Phanna had the day off, and Sophornn went out of town to do some training. Sameth finally came in at about 8:45 saying traffic was terrible. It had taken him almost two hours to get to work, then reached into his pocket and realized he had forgotten his office keys at home, and to top that off he didn't have a house key with him, so going home for a key would have been useless. We made room for him to share our office. He even tried calling Phanna, but received no answer. He was able to get one loan approved before Phanna peeked in through the door. Sameth was grateful.

Our emails started with an invitation to visit with Elder Funk of the Asia Area Presidency, along with his wife. It was scheduled for 2:00 this afternoon. We have been asked to help with another little project, and we just got pulled into the middle.

There are more visitors scheduled to come to Cambodia in two weeks, and we have been asked to help with planning and pulling together groups for meetings. Sister Cheryl Esplin, First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, will be coming along with Sister Neill Marriott, Second Counselor in the Young Women's General Presidency, along with their husbands. Oh, and there will be a film crew joining them. Could we please help arrange for visits to members homes, specific groups for them to meet with for training, and the handouts and get the announcements out to the leaders to be announced the next two Sundays. We don't have to do this alone, but we have been asked to take the lead on this project.

This hour long Skype call with Elder and Sister Funk led to meeting with President Christensen and a couple of others, moving forward with more of the planning and delegating. As we finished with that meeting, Elder and Sister Leavitt invited us to join them for dinner. We accepted since it was dinner time, and by eating first the typical Khmer gridlock on the roads should be cleared up before we headed home.
