Missionaries Young and Old serving in Cambodia and India

The weather in Cambodia is hot and humid. We have had a few times lately when we thought we just might melt. We are very appreciative of air conditioners and fans. One drawback of the hot weather is the instability of the power grid.

Today was a busy day getting things wrapped up for the week. We went to Zone Training Meeting this morning. We enjoy seeing how well these young missionaries take charge and teach each other. They were adapting quite well to the fact that the internet was not working today. Then just before the break, the power went out. The temperature today was about 102* with a feels like temperature of about 110*. It didn't take very many minutes with no air conditioning and everyone was melting. We stuck it out for a while, be we figured we would be better off in our office with air conditioning and a fan today.

This afternoon we had the opportunity of making a Skype call to India. Elder and Sister Little are serving in Vinak, about two hour flight from Hyderabad. Elder and Sister Little have a large area where they serve. India is significantly larger than Cambodia, so they do more travel than we do. They use public transportation or taxis to get around. We commented that if Cambodia had better public transportation we probably wouldn't be driving here.

We came home this afternoon to find the wedding tent on our block was attracting lots of people and vehicles in our little alley. We made our way to the parking garage and chose to walk to Lucky's Supermarket for treats for our institute class tomorrow. Then we took another walk to get dinner. We were glad we didn't have to try to get in and out with the car, even if we were plenty warm with the walk. We really could use some rain.
