Visit by Elder Woo, Area Seventy

The Asia Area has been having meetings in each country to discuss where new buildings will be needed in the next five and ten years in order to come up with a master plan for the area. There were four  individuals that came from Hong Kong and then Elder Woo, the Area Seventy for Cambodia came from Singapore. They held the building planning meeting yesterday, but Elder Woo stayed to do some more training with the leaders here today.

We volunteered to take Elder Woo with us to the Steung Mean Chey 3rd Ward this morning. We were actually there a little bit earlier than normal and it was amazing how many of the members were already there. Most Sundays we are one of the first ones there, but today we could not even get a parking place in the shade. There are never any younger priesthood holders and the full-time missionaries usually end up helping with the Sacrament. Today there were five ready to bless and pass ten minutes before time, they were all from another ward but they were there. They had a great musical number by a YSA group which was the five that were there to bless and pass the Sacrament and five YSA sisters in the 3rd Ward. It was good to see the stake put their best foot forward.

After attending the Steung Mean Chey 3rd Ward we invited Elder Woo to join us for lunch at our apartment. Then there was training for the Stake/District Presidents in the North & South Stakes and East District. The training lasted for a little more than two hours and was very good and helpful. We then volunteered to take Elder Woo to the airport.

We had a very full day from 7:30 a.m. until we finally made it home about 5:30 p.m., but it was a good Sabbath.
