Another Random Holiday

International Human Rights Day provided another reason for a holiday in Cambodia, and just about any reason works for a holiday here. With our office in the Service Center now, on holidays the office is completely deserted, at least when we were at the Stake Center there were members who randomly dropped by.  So today we worked from our apartment.

This morning we had our weekly Skype call with Hong Kong. It is good to feel like we have someone that we report to at least weekly. We also send a weekly email with the highlights of our week.

We also read our scriptures and worked on our Institute lesson for Saturday. We appreciate those little moments that we get to prepare for our Institute lesson.

This afternoon Elder Oveson had a phone call with the lead Church attorney in Hong Kong. He is so busy all the time that when he tells us he will call we clear our calendar to make room. We are hoping that we are getting closer to finally get clearance to operate the full Self-Reliance Initiative here in Cambodia. When we finally get permission we need to get the Self-Reliance Centers setup in each of the Stakes and Districts, more self-reliance groups going, and start establishing resources for jobs. There will be a lot to do, but we know that it is needed here and will be a blessing to the Saints.

Since today was a very random day, it is only appropriate that our picture for today is also a random collage.
