Farewell Skype With Sister Powell

Every Tuesday morning at 8:30 there is a weekly devotional at the Service Center. It is really for the employees but we started attending them shortly before we moved to our current office. We are now accepted like everyone else and we are even on the rotation to give thoughts, prayers and training. This morning it was Elder Oveson's turn to give the thought, so he used the Area Vision taught in the training meeting last Saturday. It meshed perfectly with the training that Samnang had prepared for today.

After the meeting we got to go back to our office, but the employees had to stay and come up with their 2016 Accountability Talent Improvement (ATI) goals. We had a PEF Conference Call at 11:30 so Sameth escaped the employee meeting to come and do his presentation that he has worked so hard on.

Samnang came and asked if we wanted to join the employees for lunch just as we called Sister Powell on Skype. Elder & Sister Powell finish their mission next week, so this will be the last time we get to talk with them as missionaries. They are dear friends and we will miss them.  As we finished our Skype call we called Samnang to see if we should still try and make lunch or not and learned that the group were on there way back to the Service Center. The restaurant was so full they decided to order in pizza, salad, chicken wings and cheese bread, so we did get to join them.

Our area was very quiet this afternoon because everybody was still in their all day meeting. We were very happy that we got excluded and we were able to get some work done instead.
