Moving Day and Senior FHE

Moving day at the Cambodia Self-Reliance/PEF offices. We were surprised the build on the "tree-house" came together about as fast as we projected. Over the years we have learned that if you do not rely on what is promised, but instead on what is realistic you will not be disappointed.

We were able to move all of our stuff in one load in our Corolla.  The toughest part was up and down the stairs so much, our previous office was up one flight of stairs and so is our new one. Our old bones do not like the up and downs as much as they went today, especially carrying a load.

The Service Center hired a truck to move Phanna & Sameth's furniture since they were bringing their desks, chairs and several other pieces of furniture.  We moved their computers, printer and more fragile items.  Our office is already well organized and they are getting their office together.

Once a month we try to do a Family Home Evening event with the other Senior Missionaries here in Phnom Penh. Tonight we went to a Cambodian Cultural Dance program at the national museum. When Pol Pot took over Cambodia one of the groups that he focused on destroying were any artists, including dancers.  Over the years since the Khmer Rouge the various art forms have rebuilt.  It was so interesting to see the traditional dances and to see the explanation of them.  It was also fascinating to recognize that in the big YSA event several months ago we saw similar dances, including the Peacock Dance.
