Khmer Breakfast -- Bai Sach Chrouk

Our morning walk brought a new golden sunrise. In a matter of minutes the sun moved from a little peek hole in the clouds to a glorious glow on the sky. Seeing the beautiful sunrise every morning is an added incentive to just keep walking every morning.

As we arrive at the office there are often co-workers who are eating breakfast in the break room. Breakfast, just like most meals here, consist of rice and pork. Bai Sach Chrouk (Rice and Pork) served in a clamshell container can be found on every street of the city. This is one food, we are told, that missionaries seem to miss when they return home.

Every Tuesdays morning there is a Service Center Devotional, and we have been blessed to join in. Today was a follow-up discussion on a video we watched last week. It was a good meeting, lasting through most of the morning.

We had the opportunity of listening to the Saturday Morning session of General Conference as we sat our desk today. These are such powerful messages we look forward to watching all of conference as we gather with the saints in Phnom Penh this weekend.

We also took time this afternoon to begin preparations on our Institute lesson. We will be talking about the Mormon Pioneers and how it was not just those who walked across the plains that are pioneers. They are each pioneers as they go before and mark the path for others to follow. We are blessed to be surrounded by so many valiant Cambodian Pioneers.
