We Love The Sister Missionaries

This morning as we were on our walk we heard a friendly greeting from behind us, Sister Thurston was out for her morning exercise as well. She was doing her morning jog and walk, and slowed down to our walk to talk for a few minutes. Elder Thurston is a biker and was out on a ride. It is always good to see the other Senior Missionaries during the day, even early in the morning.

We normally do our Self-Reliance staff meeting on Monday, but with yesterday being a holiday it had to float to today instead. We had donuts left over from yesterday, which was a good treat for this meeting. In the meeting we discussed the month end reports and that we have to get ready for the YSA Conference which is on the 14th. We will have a Self-Reliance display to talk to the YSA about PEF loans and the Self-Reliance Groups. Sister Oveson worked on the design for a bookmark to give out and Elder Oveson worked up a handout for PEF. We will have it done by the end of the week.

While we were in our staff meeting we had three sister missionaries come by for a brief visit. We had loaned the Steung Mean Chey sisters our hand mixer so that they could make marshmallows. They were bringing it back,  along with a sample of their project. We met Sister Lines formally, we have been in meetings and gatherings with her in the past, and Sister Hall who is serving in Siem Reap. We love the young missionaries, they are new eternal friends.

The power at the Service Center went out and the back up generator was broken, but we had our lap-top and iPad that we could work on. Sister Oveson asked one of the Accounting Department employees, who didn't have anything to do, to help her on here Romanizing the Hymns project. (They edited Three more hymns.) We finally gave up and went home, it was way to hot to just wait it out.
