Our New Family History Couple - Elder & Sister Jones

The Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission has been so blessed with new Senior Missionaries. Today Elder & Sister Jones from Rockland, Idaho arrived as the new Family History Couple. The previous Family History couple, Elder & Sister Hollenzer went home almost a year ago, so it is nice to have one again. It is especially important with the announcement a year ago about the Bangkok Thailand Temple, we need to get the members ready for the temple even though they have not started building it yet.

We had an interesting day at the office today. On Monday we had a university call to schedule an appointment to come and visit with us about their school. Limkokwing University has locations in several other nations including England and is considered a more expensive school than most here. They did tell us that there are discounts if the student does well on their admission test. We were impressed that they were proactive and came to recruit us to send PEF students to their school.

This afternoon as we were doing our gospel study, reading some General Conference talks, we heard it start to ran. It rained pretty good, but we did not think anything about it until we finally finished our studies and got up to look out the window. The street in front of the Service Center was a little river about seven inches deep. We park outside of the gate on the sidewalk and could tell that the water had not got all the way up to our car door yet. But since we had to go to the airport to meet the Joneses Elder Oveson had to use a ledge on the wall, up about two feet, to inch his way to the car, but he didn't get wet.

Along with the Elder & Sister Jones coming in, Elder & Sister Curtis were in town taking care of having the car that they drive appraised for trade in. This evening there were fourteen of us that went out to dinner at Fox Restaurant. It is so fun to get together with all of the other Senior Couples, they are all great and, we believe, perfectly matched to their assignments here.
