Meinzers Are Gone & Our Second Monday This Week

Last night, after we had already written in our Blog, we went out to the airport to see the Meinzers off. Over the last fourteen months we have not seen Elder Meinzer in a suit very often. As soon as they designated our mission as not being required to wear suit coats he was done with his. Last night he had his suit coat on when the Christensens picked them up and he wore it for at least an hour before he shed it because it was just to hot. There were several members who also came to the airport to see them off. They have been wonderful and we will truly miss them, but we are looking forward to getting to know the Thurstons better.

Today was our second Monday for this week,  that was probably because the whole country took last week off. We were busy and going the whole day long. Tomorrow is the first Asia Self-Reliance Missionary video conference and we were asked to put together a PowerPoint presentation highlighting Cambodia. We had intended to do it last week, but we had enough other activities last week that it did not get done. It is not supposed to be a long presentation so we only did ten slides, but when we were finished we felt good about it.

Sameth had his quarterly evaluation with his manager in Hong Kong via Skype today. He had an evaluation form that he had to complete and send before the call. Elder Oveson did his best to help him get it done, but after the call there was fine tuning that needed to be done on it. There was a lack of understanding what the manager really wanted.

On Sunday at the Cambodian Coordinating Council Meeting Elder Woo asked Phanna to send him a report on how Self-Reliance Services was doing here in Cambodia. Phanna asked us to review his report and give our input and make any changes to make it more polished. Hopefully the finished product will be helpful to Elder Woo.

It felt good tonight to be able to just stay at home and read the novel in the series that we have been reading. We have not had time the last few nights, we have been just too busy, but that is good.
