Disappointment Turned to Smiles

Yesterday our internet was down so we were unable to make our weekly calls to our family. Our grand daughter was so upset that she went into a pout. This image was from a video of her showing her disappointment. Her lip couldn't have stuck out much further.  She hadn't slept well because she had been so upset, and our hearts were sad. To try to make it up to her we set our alarm a few minute early today and made a quick call before going to Church this morning. We were so grateful she was much happier with our call today.

It has been three weeks since we were able to attend meetings at Steung Mean Chey. It is exciting seeing the progress on the addition to the building. An as usual, our trip to Steung Mean Chey was a great source of Khmer traffic photos.  There were the usual over-loaded motos heading to market, but today had some unique shots as well. There was the microwave on the moto, but the more amusing shot was the helmet being worn sidewise. We are not quite sure how she managed it, but she is wearing the helmet over top of a hat.

As Sacrament Meeting concluded in Steung Mean Chey we were asked to tell someone how to get to the Chamkarmorn building. A Chinese woman named Lotus had come into the meeting looking for church services. She really wanted to attend an English service, and we had just enough time to take her to the other building for the International Branch meeting. We introduced her to the branch president and his wife, and also learned there is a branch member who speaks Mandarin so they even had a translator for her. It is amazing how these little blessing are received.

The rest of the day was pretty standard. We were grateful for the young elders and sisters who translated for us, making it possible for us to understand the meetings and enjoy our Sunday more. We realize today that we only have 20 Sundays left of our mission. Oh how time flies!
