Mondays at the Mission Home in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

For a Monday, today was very quiet. Sameth was sick, and not as many people make their way past our desk to find Phanna. We put out a tin of cookies to share. It was interesting to see who were the ones who returned often for another treat.

We had a few errands to run today getting ready for Christmas in Kampong Cham. We committed to bring a turkey and dessert, paper goods, and some of the basics for the dinner with the young missionaries in Kampong Cham, about two hours outside of Phnom Penh. We went shopping, then took the frozen bird to the mission home. Sister Leavitt so graciously volunteered to cook the turkey (since we don't have an oven). What a wonderful friend we have!

Visiting the mission home on Monday is always an adventure. P-day for most of the missionaries brings a variety of visitors, noise included. Sister Leavitt described it like this, "They come in and soak up the cool air, and things get very noisy around here!" She enjoys being with these wonderful young missionaries, as well as working closely with President and Sister Christensen, and all the rest of us seniors as well.
