Sabbath With Our Daughters

With having Brenda and Marla visiting our Sunday was somewhat slower than our usual two wards routine.  The International English speaking branch meets at 10:00 a.m., allowing us to get a later start.  Summer brings interns to Cambodia for several weeks and others leave for the summer, making a big change in the people we see in the branch. Today the entire branch presidency was away, so President Touch Sophornn, the first counselor in the stake presidency, presided and conducted. Since he is one of our friends he came to greet us and ask Brenda and Marla to say the prayers for sacrament meeting.

After the meeting block we went back to our apartment for lunch. Since we really didn't have other activities planned for the day we decided to stay home and watch a movie. We had never seen "Inside Out".  We enjoyed the importance of the family that is portrayed.

For dinner we made Mango Chicken and Rice. We were too late for the best mangoes, but we were able to find some that worked okay.

The girls wanted to get pictures and videos of the traffic around the monument, so we took a walk to the monument before sunset. They are more brave now at crossing the road in traffic and Marla even took the lead for some of the crossings. We told her this is a skill that she will not be able to use when she goes back home.

One little quirk we have found in our apartment building is the elevator. There are times as you enter the elevator and press the button for the desired floor the doors just open and close multiple times and does not really go anywhere. Tonight we boarded with a group going to the floor below ours. The elevator worked just fine to that floor, but refused to take us to ours. The other group tried to help, but to no avail. We finally walked the last flight.
