Thoughts and Mangos

Today was Sister Oveson's turn to share a thought in the Service Center Devotional. She shared profound lessons from President Uchtdorf about providing lift and Elder Bednar concerning prayer. The two together worked very well, because prayer will definitely lift our spirit as we travel through this sojourn of life. The training was by Beang, the Physical Facility Mechanic, about the proper use of a fire extinguisher.

We actually made it to District Meeting for the first time in about a month. Between Zone Conference, Zone Training and our schedule of other meetings and visitors it had been way too long. We enjoy being with the young missionaries and learning with them and watching them learn together. They had a very good discussion about Moroni 8:25-26 and how these verses relate to the Doctrine of Christ.

On our way back to our office we stopped and picked up some fresh Mangos. There is a man that sells them outside the grocery store where we buy most of our cereal. It is not really Mango season yet, these are early Mangos, but they still taste a lot better than the dried Mangos that we have been buying.

Back out our office we ended up being called on to help with several different projects that took up most of the afternoon. The Area Committee has been asking a lot of questions about one of the Perpetual Education Fund participants who is studying to be a doctor. Her loan is already one of the largest ones on the books here in Cambodia and she has two years left. They are really trying to make sure that this will be a good loan before they make it. We hope that they approve her loan. Phanna is still working on a Power Point presentation for the Area Self-Reliance conference call next week. He asked for our opinion and help with it this afternoon. Over all it was very good and we only gave him some minor suggests to jazz it up a little bit.
