We were awake and up before the 5:00 a.m. alarm this morning, starting our day with our weekly Institute class. We never know what to expect with this group. There are usually close to an equal number of brothers and sisters who attend. Today at 7:00 when we started the class there were 3 sisters and 1 brother. It made us wonder if our numbers would have dropped so much this week, but by the conclusion of the class there were 22, and only 5 of them were brothers. We had a great discussion and felt the Spirit as we talked about our need to be prepared as we see the signs prophesied that precede the 2nd Coming of Christ. We always try to bring out how the scriptures apply to us today.
One of our favorite Saturday morning activities is our calls to our family. The three year olds are always excited to report on their week and the fun activities they have enjoyed. Kate told about her preschool activity which had a driving course set up for their tricycles or cars. As she was driving the wrong way in traffic the "policeman" (teacher) pulled her over and gave her a ticket. We can't understand how kids in preschool can come to understand this rule but not most drivers in Cambodia.
Elder Oveson had his Stake Meetings to attend while Sister Oveson stayed home to write our email home and some Preparation Day responsibilities here at our apartment. When you count our calls home, grocery shopping, laundry, email to friends and family and a few minutes to relax we get about a half of a Preparation Day every Saturday. It is nice to feel busy and have something to do, even on Saturday. Our picture for today is just another random collage of things seen in our everyday lives in Cambodia.
