Week-At-A-Glance

As the days and weeks fly by sometimes we are only able to keep track of what day it is by what is on the agenda and daily To-Do list. Monday we have our Staff meeting (except when there is a holiday, then we move it to Tuesday.) Tuesday is the service center devotional and district meetings. Wednesday morning we have a Google-Hangout call with family before going to the office, where most weeks there is one internet meeting or another talking with missionaries or the Self-Reliance team in the Asia area. Thursday morning we usually Skype with Sister Roberts in Hong Kong. Friday tends to be the day to wrap up loose ends for the week, and we usually go out for dinner for a date night.

Saturday is our early day as we teach our 7:00 a.m. Institute class, then  hurry home to Skype/FaceTime with family. Grocery shopping has to be done, then Elder Oveson has stake meetings throughout the afternoon while Sister Oveson writes letters or works on projects. Then there is Sunday with three hours of meetings in Steung Mean Chey for the morning (about 5 miles away through Khmer traffic), home with enough time for lunch before heading to Chaktomuk Ward (1 1/2 miles away) for the afternoon. That makes for a full day, but we often add a baptism or Self-Reliance meeting to the schedule. By the time Sunday is done we are pretty tired, but also happy to be busy serving in Cambodia.

Each of those days also fill in with other projects and agendas. Weekdays we rise early (5:30 a.m.) to take our walk. By 10:00 p.m. we are very tired and ready to retire for the day. We are not sure what our schedule will be like when we return home, but we plan to keep busy and active.

Today definitely lived up to its wrap up loose ends identity. With the end of the month coming next week and a Senior Couples Conference, we have to get things wrapped up and taken care of.
