Thanksgiving Continued - Dinner at a Members

Yesterday was such a full day that we were not able to list everything, so we decided to leave part of it for today.  We were invited by our friend Ellen Clark to have a turkey dinner at her home.  She is the member that owns Flyworks, the fly tying company, she lives on the third floor of the manufacturing facility.  The General Manager, Eng Bun Huoch, and his family also live on the same floor, he is the Stake President in the Phnom Penh North Stake.  President Eng has four little boys that Ellen has nicknamed Peter, James, John and Daniel.

We had an official Thanksgiving Dinner with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad and soup, and of course pumpkin pie for desert.  It was a combined Thanksgiving/Christmas celebration, so naturally we also had to have hot chocolate, even though it was still over 80 degrees here, and marshmallows.  President Eng's family also put on a Family Home Evening for all of us.  As you can see from our pictures of the day, it was a very good time.

We had our Institute class this morning with seventeen wonderful participants.  We love teaching this class.  After a quick trip to the grocery store, we came home and Skyped and FaceTimed with part of the family.

This afternoon was the Leadership Meeting for Stake Conference and this evening the Adult Session.  Elder Oveson was asked to speak in the Leadership session, which was good because then he could relax a little after his talk.  We made it through day one of Stake Conference with just the General Session tomorrow morning to go.

Life is busy, but very good.
