Sisters Clark and Sok and Our Sunday Adventures

As usual, our weekly trip to Steung Mean Chey gave interesting traffic photos. Some were items we have seen often enough that we didn't get the camera quick enough. But there were a few new items to add to our collection such as the moto-trailer loaded with strips of foam padding, or the moto loaded with seven huge bags of rice. Then there was the trailer loaded with green mangos headed to market, and the family on a moto with their coats, hats and gloves riding down the road while the thermometer indicated it was about 97* F.

A few days ago we received a Facebook message asking about one of our Cambodian missionaries. It seems Sister Oveson's cousin, Melinda Savage, is visiting teacher to Sister Sara Clark's mother in Morgan, Utah. Included in our collage for today is Sister Clark and her companion, Sister Sok.

It is difficult to call our Sunday schedule a day of rest. We make the drive to Steung Mean Chey and attend a three hour block of meetings, return home for a short break and lunch, then head to the Chaktomuk ward for another three hour block.  Even though sitting for six hours on the hard benches or stacking chairs is not comfortable on our old bodies, we feel loved and appreciated by the members we have come to count as our friends.

This week we had one additional meeting, but this time we were at the Service Center sitting on nice padded chairs. We were invited to participate in the planning for a YSA Conference in May. One thing is sure, the Cambodians enjoy having activities as long as they appear to be parties!

With the miracle of technology, we were able to watch some of General Conference. We look forward to filling some of our gospel study time with these messages for the next little while. Hopefully we will be able to see all the sessions this week, then we will sit with the other missionaries and members next weekend and watch the full sessions for our Conference Weekend in Cambodia!
