Even Common Days Are Great To Remember

We have had our new car long enough that we had our first service appointment at Toyota Cambodia, which they schedule after 30 days or 1,000 miles. This visit was to inspect the vehicle for any defect malfunctions and an oil change, trading out the break-in oil. We were in and out in less than an hour. The drawback is the Toyota dealer is on the other side of town. Today's traffic was very calm so it was not a problem.

After the service appointment we came back to our apartment for a call with family. Our usual schedule is to call about 7:00 a.m. here, which is 6:00 back home. Today worked better for both sides of the world because we had to take the car in, and they had Back-To-School-Night!.  We finally made it to the office about 11:30 this morning. There was just enough time to check emails and get settled in before a meeting at 12:30.

Twice a month there is a Asia Area Self-Reliance team meeting, which happened to be today. These internet meetings are a great way of getting all the different countries together for discussions, training, and support. Some of the training also gave us insights to who will be in Chiang Mai Thailand next month for the manager training. We are blessed to be invited to participate.

The rest of the afternoon sped by with studying for an Institute lesson on Techniques for Effective Scripture Study, email correspondence, our own scripture study, and it was time to go home.

Afternoon and evening showers left the skies dark and looking later than the clock indicated. Thankfully traffic was not a problem today. We were happy to go home and call it a day. Our photos today show a little of life around us. The one we will comment on is the load on the moto is bags of rice. There are five bags of rice stacked on back, and one more in front of the driver. Each bag is 50 kg (110 lbs) each. That poor moto had 660 lbs of cargo plus the driver. Moto drivers have to do a balancing act as they drive their cargo down the road. The bottom picture is from our friends Elder & Sister VanBrocklin, he does beautiful pictures.
