Blessings and Baptisms

It feels like each day is so full, but likewise very fulfilling. We have learned that as you look for the blessings in everything that we are doing then being busy is not a burden. Today has been all the way full of those blessings.

As we got to the Phnom Penh South Stake Center at 6:30 this morning two of the Institute class members were already there. When we started there were twelve that made it on time, including two new class members. Before we finished there were twenty that made it to Institute today. We concluded the lessons on the Doctrine and Principles of the Book of Mormon. As usual there was a great spirit and we learned along with the rest of the class.

Our first priority after Institute is head home and call our family. We look forward to talking to all of them and it is hard to finish with one family and go to the next. There are always fun stories that have happened during the previous week. It seems like there are the photo bombers and the photo avoiders. What a blessing to claim each and every one and feel of the joy of being part of such an important group.

There was a baptism this evening in the Chaktomuk Ward. The nine or ten year old son of a member was baptized. We have seen the mother off and on for quite a while, so it was great to see her son baptized.

Elder Oveson had his usual Stake Meetings and Sister Oveson took care of Preparation Day tasks this afternoon. Without the divide and conquer there would be a lot that just would not get done.
