Saturday is a Modge Podge Day

During the week we spend the majority of our day at our office working on a variety projects and responsibilities. Sunday is spent at Church or Church related meetings. But Saturday is our modge-podge day. There are things that we do almost every Saturday like teaching our Institute Class, FaceTiming or Skyping with our family and grocery shopping. Still it is the day when we are heading in many different directions doing many diverse responsibilities and chores.

This morning we only had fourteen show up for our Institute Class, this is the least that we have had for this course. today was the last lesson in the Foundation of the Restoration Cornerstone Course. We will start the Teachings and Doctrine of The Book of Mormon next Saturday. We have sent out announcement sheets and put up small flyers telling about our class and the one that the Leavitts teach. Hopefully we can get more to come again.

After Institute we come home and talk with our family. We call five out of the six families on Saturday and by time we are done it is about 10:00 p.m. in Utah. Brenda and Marla are good about letting us call them last, so we can talk to the little ones before they go to bed.

Elder Oveson had to go the Stake Presidency Meeting this afternoon. Stake Conference is coming up really fast, on May 21st and 22nd, and the visiting Area Authority wanted some additional changes on the agendas. We were able to get through those changes and some callings that need to be done between now and then.

Since Saturday is a random day, we decided to put in a random picture. The first is a trash can made out of a used tire that is turned inside out, next is a woman riding her bike with a large umbrella, many homes and businesses have little Buddhist shrines. Notice the hanging star decorations on the outside of a building and a Khmer typewriter. The building across from our apartment is under construction and they were unloading stuff there at 1:30 in the morning a couple of nights ago, next is a Buddhist Wat and finally last night's full moon.
