Another Day To Count Our Blessings

It is amazing to us how different each and every day is as we serve Our Lord on this mission. We may have been disappointed yesterday, but that completely changed today and we are so grateful for the blessing of heaven. We do not want to beat a theme to death, but this week seems to be our count you many blessings week.

The Director of Temporal Affairs for Asia, Joe Crandall, and the Area Operations Manager, Robert William, were in town to train the local employees. We joined that meeting for about a half hour before we left to have a Skype call with the PEF Manager for Asia. The PEF program is not available in Vietnam but we are working on ways to bless the members that need education over there also.

We have spoken previously of being allowed to help with some legal matters. With Elder Roberts being here in Cambodia on some other legal issues, we piggy backed off of that opportunity. The lead attorney that has been helping us, gave him permission to go with us to visit the local attorneys. After that visit we walked out of the meeting with hope and a whole new way to view how to resolve the issues that are being faced.

This afternoon there was an Area Self-Reliance Services Skype call that we were only able to be in for a short time. The number of full-time employees and missionaries are increasing here in Asia, it is exciting to see the growth.

Our picture for today is a collage of a variety of experiences. The security guards at the Service Center are basically the same as before but they now work for a new company. One of the guards today was so proud of his new uniform, including a hat so he had to salute as we took his picture. As we were out and about we were again amused by what they carry on the back of motos, today it was a power massager. We caught some lunch at a place we heard about but had not been before, Fat Boy Burgers, it was okay but we like another place better.
