Another Round of Apartment Inspections

Most of our afternoon was spent inspecting four missionary apartments. We do warn them that we are coming so they have no excuse at all to not have their apartments looking good. We got to the first apartment a little earlier than expected and they were just finishing sweeping their floors. It was evident that it was not the first time the floor had been swept in the last week, so we were just fine with letting them hurry and finish. At a different apartment the Elders were late in getting there, they had gone to get rid of a large bag of recyclables, last inspection we told them it had to go. So again we were happy that they were taking care of some issues that needed to be completed.

Overall the missionary apartments continue to be better each time that we go. Elder & Sister Leavitt have upgraded the apartments where the landlord does not taking care of issues. The four apartments that we inspected today are all very nice and in safe buildings or areas. The first one was in Tuol Thom Pong and the other three are in Stueng Mean Chey. The Steung Mean Chey missionaries are all in the same complex, but not on the same road.

Since we were away from our office last Friday and yesterday we had a lot of emails to read and reply to first thing today. We went to the Service Center Devotional but left when they got to the training about Value Add Tax (VAT) here in Cambodia. All things considered we figured that is not something that we really need to know now or for the future. When we got back to our desk we had an email from one of daughters who wanted to Skype, so we were able to do that instead.

This evening Elder Oveson had a Stake Presidency Meeting to go to. This weekend is Stake Conference and we have a visiting Area Seventy assigned to preside at the conference. They wanted to make sure all is in place and that there are no loose ends that needed to be resolved. Apparently it was important that they got together because the meeting went for almost two hours.
