Christmas Season Is Even Busy in Cambodia

This time of year was always extremely busy prior to our mission. We figured that with being on the other side of the world, in a non-christian country that this year would not be as busy for us. As we mentioned in a previous blog, we had even considered not having a tree or decorations, before we moved offices and a tree was donated to us.

Someone, or a lot of someones, is making sure that we are kept busy and with a lot of Christmas cheer and spirit. We usually eat out once a week, but we have already been out to eat three times, with another dinner out tomorrow night. There is a Christmas party for the Church employees next Wednesday starting at 4:00, we don't know for how long.  Next Friday we are off to Kampong Cham to share the day with the missionaries up there, and then we are going on up to Siem Reap to go to Angkor Wat. Our first photo for the day is more random Khmer pictures.

Along with the fun we are also being kept busy with our missionary service. We continued with some additional communication with the Church attorney for Asia today.  We believe that we are getting very close to being able to run with the complete Self Reliance Initiative here in Cambodia.  We know that prayer with faith can move mountains and we are starting to hear the rumble of the move.

This evening we met with President Veasna of the Phnom Penh East District, who is one of our pictures tonight. It is their District goal to become a Stake during 2016. He wanted our ideas on what should happen to help them accomplish their goal. In many ways it is safe for these leaders to counsel with Senior Missionaries, because we will go home sometime and they can say that any suggestions came from us.
