Happy Birthday Elder Oveson

We have been here long enough we are beginning to experience our "last...." Such as Elder Oveson's last birthday as a missionary in Cambodia. Today we celebrated here in Cambodia, even though it is not until tomorrow in the U.S.. We learned when our children were young that the birthday child was responsible to bring treats for their class, so Elder Oveson bought donuts. These were not just street food, These were Big Apple Donuts. Our granddaughter would love these light fresh donuts!

As we returned to the office from getting the treats we found they also had a birthday cake for the birthday boy! We work with some pretty amazing people! Elder Oveson commented the 5 candles were not quite enough to represent all of his years. They were likely concerned about the fire hazard that many candles would have created.

At the end of the day we went to Brooklyn for dinner. We have gotten to know the owner and managers, and they always seem pleased to see us. They recently opened a deli next door to the restaurant, so it was about time we went in to check it out. They serve ice cream, pastries and desserts, sandwiches, etc. The owner stepped out to talk to us and tell us his favorites. We brought home an apple turnover and chocolate croissant to try later.
