Making The Sabbath a Delight

One of the main emphasis of the Church of the last couple of years has been to make the Sabbath Day holy. Another way that they have encouraged the members is to make the Sabbath a delight. It is interesting to really understand what they are asking us to do. The world teaches us that a delight is when we are treated to something very unique and wonderful. Heavenly Father wants us to understand that the blessings of the gospel are something very wonderful and unique.

As we went to Steung Mean Chey this morning the traffic was very light, we were amazed last week at how heavy the traffic was, and today was just the opposite. There were only thirty in Sacrament Meeting in the 3rd Ward. Sunday School was taught by the Stake Clerk, who does not live in that ward. In Priesthood there were six of us, three missionaries, an investigator, the Stake Clerk, a Young Man from a different Ward and the Bishop.

This afternoon Sister Oveson went to the Chaktomuk Ward while Elder Oveson went to the Cambodian Coordinating Council. Elder Woo kept the meeting to three hours, which is not really easy when there is so much to discuss. Sister Oveson said that there were only about twenty-five in Chaktomuk Ward Sacrament Meeting today.

This evening we attended the YSA planning meeting for the upcoming YSA Conference next month. We want to help, but we also want it to be what the YSA want not what we want them to do.

Our Sabbath was a delight and we were blessed to serve and feel of the blessings of the Gospel.

Today is a major travel day in Cambodia, many of those who went out to the Provinces come back on Sunday so that they can return to work tomorrow. A lot of those who go to the Provinces do not want to ride their little motos that far so they go in what they call buses, which are really eight or nine passenger vans that they completely stuff with people. The cheaper seats are on the roof. Also today we are anxiously waiting to see the addition to the Steung Mean Chey building, it is suppose to be done this year.
