Street Sweepers and Morning Exercise

This may be a 3rd world country, and there are lots of interesting things we see here. One thing we are impressed with, however, is that in spite of having trash just dropped on the ground there is an effort to keep things clean. As we take our walks every morning we see the remains of the crowds of people who converge on the park at night. The sidewalks also can be covered with leaves and blossoms that drop from the trees overnight. But there are always workers with their brooms sweeping the sidewalks and roads. By 7:00 each morning the sidewalks are swept and many of them washed, and the park is pretty well cleaned, with the trash removed and the streets and sidewalks in order.

This morning as we were just past the halfway point of our walk we were greeted by Sisters Sheffield and Larsen. They were in a hurry to finish their morning exercise and get back to their studies. They stopped just long enough to say hello and pose for our blog.

Today was our semi-monthly Self-Reliance Service Team video conference. Chad is in the U.S. on some well deserved vacation, so the Manager in Taiwan conducted today. He had forgotten he was suppose to, until Elder Oveson reminded him, and he received the agenda just as the meeting started. Phanna gave one of the country highlights on Cambodia today.

We have been working on another assigned project which is almost finished. With the help of the other Asia Area Self-Reliance couples we have created a PowerPoint presentation on Delegation. This is a subject so many leaders here need, most do not understand the real reason we delegate or the proper steps of delegation. We are working hard to get it completed before this weekend when two of our daughters arrive. They are in for an adventure!
