A Get It Done Day

What a difference a weekend makes. It was amazing how fast Sameth finished up the video project today. He was ready to sit down and just get it done. Phanna is in Taiwan this week for Self-Reliance Service Manager training. So we were the film crew today. Sister Oveson pushed the record button and Elder Oveson counted for Sameth to tell him when to start, two very tough assignments. We are suppose to provide three takes of each scene and that is exactly how many we took for most of the ones remaining today. The only thing that slowed us down was when the memory card said it was full, it was only 4 gb. Sameth had a 16 gb card that was more than big enough to finish up the rest of the takes. Now he needs to send them to Hong Kong and see if they want any of them redone.

We have been teaching a Self-Reliance Group via Skype with a YSA sister in Vietnam on Monday nights at 7:00 p.m. This evening we moved the time up two hours because she is going with some friends to the Cebu City Temple later tonight. We came home a little early so that we could Skype with her at 5:00. This group has been going very well and this YSA sister is taking the lessons very seriously. She will be the first to get a Perpetual Education Fund grant in Vietnam if everything works out the way that we are hoping.

This afternoon our office was very quiet, all of the Church employees had a HR meeting that they had to attend. It started at 2:00 p.m. and went until about 4:10 p.m. We love Sameth, even after a long meeting he comes out with the best attitude, he always says that it was a good meeting. When you have the right attitude then every meeting can be a good meeting, even if it goes extra long.

Elder Oveson is really enjoying the morning and evening commutes. It is so nice to not be out in the heavy traffic.

We are always fascinated with methods they use in construction here in Cambodia. There is a new five story building going in across from our apartment building. To get the building material up to the top floor they use a hand driven winch. Those building materials include bags of cement, buckets of sand, bricks, etc. That is our collage for today.
