We still got up early and took our walk, followed by a call with Grant Wayne Boam from Church Headquarters Self-Reliance. Brother Boam is our HQ contact in our role as contact couple in Asia. We had a wonderful visit and learned much about our responsibilities. We look forward to working with Brother Boam and reporting to him every month.
We decided to take advantage of not having to work at the office today and run errands, as well as taking the sister missionaries we work with in Steung Mean Chey and Chaktomuk out to lunch. As we started down the road we heard the car making a ticking noise, coming from the left rear. As we made our first stop we discovered the tire was very low and would need immediate attention. Fortunately there was a tire store just down the road. Upon examination it was discovered that the tire had about a 3 inch screw, which would have explained the ticking sound. It took about fifteen minutes and cost 5,000 Riel ($1.25), and we were on our way!
Our travels today took us to Steung Mean Chey to pick up Sisters Sheffield and Gallahad, so of course we had to take photos of some of the unique sights. The pink and green look like cabinets. Not sure which road the car from California came in on, but the van was definitely over-full.Our lunch companions were Sisters Gallahad, Sheffield, Phon, and Larsen. We are so thankful for the opportunity to get to know them even better. They have been such faithful translators for us each week, lunch was the least we could do.
Our Monday evening Skype call with My in Vietnam didn't happen today. She received a better offer from President Hassell, the mission president, asking if she would travel with a senior missionary and the mission president to visit members in more distant areas. We thought those visits were worth a delay in our ME Group.
