Friday Again -- The Weeks Fly By!

This week has simply evaporated, and there was not even a holiday in Cambodia! Taking a quick trip to Hong Kong and back, then Mission Conference tour with Elder Wong, one day to catch up on work, ending the week with Zone Training and a stake presidency lunch and meeting on Friday made for a very short week for Self-Reliance and PEF!

We enjoy going to zone "Symposium" training and learning from the young missionaries. The meeting today included discussion on how to better utilize the senior missionaries in the work. This was also discussed in our senior couples conference last week. Of course since we were there they asked for our input. We told them it is always good to receive information about baptisms or events so that if we are available we can put them into our schedule.

We truly wish that there was a way that every parent of these young Missionary could see them in action. These are eighteen, nineteen and early twenty year old Young Adults doing amazing things, in a very mature manner. They are always looking for ways to help others. Since most of the missionaries in the Zone are from the U.S. they conducted the meeting in English. But there were plenty of volunteers to translate for the two Cambodian Missionaries in the Zone. Each of them are a wonderful example of charity, as they show pure love for the Lord, each other and the work that they are about.

We left the zone meeting early to meet up with the stake presidency for lunch at Tonle Bassac II Restaurant, then back to the church for stake presidency meeting (while Sister Oveson waited in the lobby working with the iPad.) We were able to spend a couple of hours at the office this afternoon, which included an appointment with a member who is wanting to start a business. We hope he is successful.
