A Flat Tire and Ward Conference

Today was Ward Conference in the Tuol Thom Pong Ward and the Stake President asked Elder Oveson as a Stake Leader to attend the Ward Conferences. Their meetings start at 8:00 a.m. so we did not go to Steung Mean Chey today. That was good for a couple of reasons. Yesterday when we Skyped with Becky's family little Kate had already gone to bed because she was tired. By having some extra time we called her before going to Church. Also, as we went to pull out of our parking space one of the apartment employees pointed to our front passenger tire, which was completely flat. The apartment employee and guard helped us change the tire. We were still late for Church, but we made it before the Sacrament. As we put the flat tire in the back of the car we could see a screw in it, which would explain why it went flat.

For Sunday School in the Tuol Thom Pong Ward we went to the youth and YSA Sunday School Class and we were glad that we did. One of our favorite Institute class members teaches that class, but we had no idea until they turned the time to him. He did a very good job and seemed very pleased that we were there to watch him teach.

We did make it to the Chaktomuk Ward today. Three out of the four missionaries in that Ward are new to the area. They got to introduce themselves in Sacrament Meeting today. One of the new Sister Missionaries is from Cambodia and when we saw her name we pronounced it like a common American, Ormax (or-max). We failed to realize that it was Romanized Khmer and is really pronounced Aumah almost like Alma without the l. We have already posted a picture of the new sisters in other log, so in our collage tonight are the Chatomuk Ward Elders.

Even without going out to Steung Mean Chey we actually got some traffic pictures, Khmer children playing and interesting clouds in the sky. Today was a very good Sabbath and a delight.
