Our New Office/Tree House

This morning Samnang, the Service Center Manager, called to tell us that our new office is ready to move into and that we should come and see it.  We did not go over this morning, we were busy, but we did venture that way this afternoon.  As you can see from our picture for today it is not ready yet.  The top row shows the space before they closed it in, then a few pictures from a week ago and today.  As we looked at the pictures we decided that it looked like they are building us a tree house.

 Elder & Sister Meinzer whose office is on the ground level of the Service Center, walked up with us to see how it looked.  Elder Meinzer, who was a contractor and is LDS Charities here, guesstimated two weeks.  The only problem with that is there is a three day holiday coming the week after next, so it may be longer.

This morning the music from the wedding tent across the road started at 5:00 a.m. and it got progressively louder until 6:00 when it sounded like they were out on our balcony.  That is one thing that we have not, and may not, gotten use to, is how early they start with the music and chanting for weddings and funerals.  It is wedding season here in Cambodia, so we may get woken up even more before that is over.

We worked on our new project part of the day today, but we also had correspondence to answer, our office to go through before we move, we started that after Samnang's call and before we went to the Service Center, and preparation for our Institute class.  We always have a variety of projects to work on every day.
