Goodbye Mory

Today was another farewell as we said goodbye to one of the employees at the Service Center. Mory has been a member of the Cambodia Service Center staff since 2002 and was the first Service Center employee. He spoke of how working for the church has blessed his life, including the blessing of his family. He will be working as a Facility Manager at the big mall in Phnom Penh.

As we gathered over a choice of pizza (crust stuffed with vienna sausage or seafood), chicken wings, and garlic bread. We were amused as we watched some squeeze out catsup on their pizza.

Summer has come to Cambodia in full force. We joked at the office today how we ran out of cold water and each had stories to match or exceed our own. One told of the "cold" water being about 40* C (over 100* F). They had to take the water inside to allow it to cool a little. The 106* F each day is warmer than we enjoy. We are impressed with how the young missionaries keep going in spite of the heat. They may look melted but they still share their smiles, and that makes things work so much better.

We had our Self-Reliance Skype group with My again tonight. She is so delightful. We are so grateful to have her as one of our friends.

Our day at the office was busy and productive. We had more on our to-do list than we could finish today. We will work on it again tomorrow.
