Tying Up Loose Ends

It seems many of the projects we have been pushing forward so hard with are finishing up, so today was a slower pace as we worked on tying up loose ends. We are waiting for a final decision from the attorney in Hong Kong letting us know our next step with Self Reliance. The preferred jobs list has been compiled, so we went over it with our Self-Reliance team and had it ready for Phanna to submit to the Area Manager. Elder Oveson has been getting things ready for the South Stake conference, and finished with a few correspondences concerning the stake. We held our weekly staff meeting, since we have Water Festival for the next three days. So this afternoon we were able to slow down and take it easy, which is a good thing since Elder Oveson is trying not to get a cold, but the cold seems to be getting him.

We received word today that our new office space will be ready for us to move by Friday. We requested that instead we move on Monday because we have other obligations on Friday. So we are set to move on Monday! With all the packing and moving we went through the past couple of years we decided we should get started. Fortunately we went through everything in our office when we first got here and got rid of a bunch of stuff. We went through it again the past few weeks, so things are pretty well cleaned up. We packed a few boxes and we are ready. We won't need to move any of our furniture, so we should be able to load all our stuff in one load in the trunk of our Toyota Corolla.

Some of our pictures today were borrowed from other missionaries. They highlight a sunset silhouette with sugar palm trees that are typical throughout Cambodia, as well as some of the varieties of chickens you might see here. We just have to say we have seen some pretty scrawny chickens.
